The Home Setting Process with Westchester Modular Homes
Setting a modular home is an exciting milestone in the homebuilding journey, and Westchester Modular Homes ensures this process is efficient, precise, and seamless. Here’s a step-by-step look at how your new home comes together on-site:
1. Arrival of the Crane
On the day of the home setting, a crane arrives on-site early in the morning. Positioned close to the foundation, the crane is prepared to lift each module and carefully place it onto the foundation. This critical step ensures that the modules are set with precision and care.
2. Preparing the Modules
Before the modules are lifted, the plastic wrapping used to protect them during transportation is removed and collected into a designated pile on-site. This ensures a clean and organized workspace.
The Westchester Modular Homes set crew then takes the following preparatory steps:
– Cutting the Lolly Columns: The crew trims the lolly columns to the appropriate height to support the structure.
– Measuring the Foundation: The foundation is meticulously measured to confirm it matches the plans provided by the Westchester Modular Homes Engineering Department.
These preparations are crucial for the secure and accurate placement of the modules.
3. Setting the Modules
Each module is carefully prepared for lifting. Using the crane, the modules are lifted one by one and set in place on the foundation. This process requires expertise and precision to ensure the modules align perfectly and fit securely.
4. Raising the Roof
Once all the modules are in place, the roof is raised, bringing the home’s structure to life. Additional roof components, such as reverse gables and dormers, are then set in place by the crew. These elements add character and style to the home’s exterior.
5. Completing the Roof
The set crew installs the roof shingles, ensuring the home is weather-tight. At this point, the home’s structure is fully enclosed, protecting it from the elements and allowing interior work to begin.
6. Adding Garages and Other Features
If the home includes a garage, it can be panelized with prebuilt roof components. These are also set in place by the set crew, streamlining the construction process and maintaining the same level of precision and quality as the rest of the home.
