Building a Modular Home

Bob meets with Pat Fricchione from Simplex Industries of Scranton, Penn. to discuss the modular home industry and specifically the home being built in western Massachusetts’ Berkshire Hills. Simplex delivers homes all over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Today’s modular homes are designed to meet the needs of the modern discriminating homebuyer. The materials used in a modular home are essentially the same as those used in a site built one. They can be customized or built from existing floor plans. The homeowner gets the advantage of buying in bulk for all the materials in the home. And its always perfect weather in the factory, so there are no delays due to rain or snow. A typical home can be built in a week at the factory and delivered to the home site in ready-to-assemble pieces. More information
