Manufacturers are able to buy material in bulk since many are building hundreds of homes a year. It's difficult for your average builder of stick homes to get wholesale pricing on construction materials. There's also less waste of construction materials. Given Chicago's density, modular also allows for less site disturbances to your neighbors and the environment. Modular is a great fit for building in Chicago or anywhere for that matter. Jason - Let us know when and where that LEED certified home is being built. It's good to see people making progress building modular in the city.

Chicago is about to get its first LEED-certified modular home, and there is a developer in central Illinois planning a subdivision of 30+ LEED-certified factory built homes. When matching the efficiencies and economies of scale, a properly designed modular home can be hard to beat. Keep your eyes peeled.
