Border Lines

Have you thought about all the problems that could arise when getting a new custom home built? What if you didn’t have a roof on your house yet and you a big rainstorm or windstorm hit…or worse? What would happen? What would happen if the contractors hired to build your house were not the best around? They were just cheap labor? Have you ever considered the ramifications of that?

Palm Harbor homes has released a video about their factory and how the build homes. Kind of makes you think twice about a site-built home. Sure there are plenty of good home builders out there. But are they up to the standards of quality factory built homes?

Here’s more from the video: “Suppose you were asked to name something made in a factory. You might have thought of … let’s face it, just about everything is built in a factory. Is this the way your computer was built? A vehicle is probably one of your biggest investments. Suppose it was built this way. Not very likely scenarios, are they?

But if I asked you what is the most expensive thing you might buy not built in a factory, you’d probably name … right, a home. Your home? Why on earth would you spend thousands of dollars on your biggest investment for something not built in a factory or building center? With traditional home building, all it takes is one good downpour during construction to quickly turn your dream home into a nightmare. Add in unreliable subcontractors, low-budget materials and before long, a little wasted time turns into a lot of wasted money.

Maybe you’ve never thought about homes that are built in a factory or building center. Please note, we’re not knocking all site builders. There are plenty of reputable builders, and most have a specific niche in today’s market. Besides, many folks like living in subdivisions and feel quite comfortable in high-density population areas. That’s where site builders do best. They can have many jobs going on at once. They can have their construction materials delivered, in bulk, to the same general area. And they can supervise their crews because they are working in the same area during different stages of construction. But allow me to introduce you to Palm Harbor’s exclusive SmartPlus system.

In a nutshell, we can build the home of your dreams to any code required by your local governing jurisdiction. We build it smart, with all the ecological and environmental construction aspects you’d expect from a green builder. Plus, we build it faster, and at the same time your site work is being completed. This process puts you in your home faster than you thought possible. And, did I mention our homes are beautiful, hosting dozens of awards on design, construction and energy savings?”
