A Better Way to Build
Factory
At Colorado Modular Homes we have truly found a better way to build.
The process begins at the off-site construction facility. Our homes
are built in a controlled environment. This allows us much greater
control over your home’s construction compared to a site-built home.
All of the materials we use are the same, or better, than what you
will find in a traditional stick built home. In fact, modular homes
are “stick built”. We frame the entire house using the same methods
and materials as a site built home. However, because we build in a
controlled environment we have the tools and systems to do it better.
We can lay out our walls out on perfectly flat jigs, using not only
screws to attach our drywall but also glue. There is no possibly that
your house will see rain or snow on the floors at any time during its
construction. We use spray foam insulation as a standard. Most of
our houses leave the factory with Anderson or Pella windows packages.
The factory process allows us efficiencies and controls that give us
the right to say that we have developed a better way to build

Site Work
While your home is being built at the factory, we are hard at work
preparing your building site for the home’s arrival. We will excavate
and have the foundation and concrete flatwork completed prior to your
home’s arrival. The foundation we install for your home is identical
to the foundation for a traditional stick built home. The home itself
and all site work are constructed to meet or exceed the IRC 2009
building code. This is the same building code that site built homes
are built to and that local building departments enforce.
Delivery and Set
Once the site is ready and your home is completed at the factory, we
deliver the home to the site via low-boy trailers specially designed
for hauling our modular homes. Your home will arrive fairly complete
with the cabinets and countertops installed, and most of the
electrical and plumbing complete as well.

home that has just been delivered from the factory -- you can see the
level of finish the home achieves before it leaves the factory. Once
the home is delivered, our set crew sets the home on your foundation
with a crane. By the end of the set day, your home is completely
protected from the elements.
Finish and Move In
After we set your home we get to work finishing all the details. This
part of the process is what really sets Colorado Modular Homes apart.
We are often told that “your homes look different from other modular
homes”, a compliment in which we take a lot of pride. Your home stands
out because of attention to small details. This is why we take the
time to build you a fancy beamed front entryway and install rock work
on the exterior. We carefully select your outdoor lighting and add
steel accents to the deck posts – little things that really set a home
apart.
