Better Building Practices from our partners at General Housing Corporation

We’re convinced using modular construction methods are the best way to build a home today.  We like to say, “We’re site builders that knew enough to come in out of the rain.”  There are a number of reasons why modular building systems are better than traditional site building that is done outdoors.

GHC homes are intrinsically energy efficient due to the systematic processes and techniques used in building, which is not always the case with traditional site built homes.  A tight finish, with little air infiltration, is much more difficult to achieve with traditional building because of the way in which the homes are constructed.  At GHC, we are Energy Star efficient, and offer many upgrades, as well as standard options, that boast the Energy Star seal of approval.  Furthermore, General Housing Corporation is a proud partner of Green Built Michigan.

Modular homes are constructed by a proven method known as Building Systems in an enclosed climate-controlled facility.  This means that the home is completed in a highly structured manner, with clearly defined processes, procedures and quality controls.

Because the home is built inside a climate-controlled environment, the wood and other building materials used in the construction of the home are not directly exposed to the harmful effects of weather and moisture.  GHC homes are built more equal and precise than a typical site built house, as all of our floors, walls, and ceilings are built in a jig to ensure they are square.  The end result is a better-built, high quality home.

Our homes are constructed by a stable and experienced workforce for consistent quality.  The highly skilled and trained craftsmen that build these homes often times can boast of experience that spans years, if not decades.  A quality workforce in combination with detailed processes and procedures creates a better built home.

At GHC, every single task performed in the building of the home is subjected to inspection.  Each home has a series of written processes for the application and/or installation of that building material.  This is called a standard operating procedure or (SOP).  All processes are listed on a document called a QC traveler.  The traveler is documented and signed off by the person performing the work, an area foreman in charge, and the Quality Control Supervisor.  Third-party state inspectors regularly come to the production facility to review our construction for state code compliance.

One fact that is beyond dispute – GHC modular homes are much stronger and heavier than homes built on site.  GHC homes are built with more lumber and fastening materials – 2×6 exterior walls (16” on center), full exterior wall structural sheathing, lag bolts and double 2 X 10 floor band joists – all to ensure our homes can withstand stresses that can occur during transportation and the setting of the home.

GHC homes are highly engineered.  We utilize state-of-the-art Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) that allows for complete design of the home.  There is no guess work—all measurements are precise and specifications are detailed.  Not to mention, GHC has an architect on staff, providing the opportunity for a high degree of customization and flexibility.

General Housing Corporation Meets and Exceeds Michigan Building Code

The very first home General Housing Corporation built and every home since has exceeded Michigan Residential Building Code.  This code was well known as BOCA, but is now identified as International Residential Building Code.  Michigan has since added some additional requirements to the code to define the Michigan Residential Building Code.  GHC has never built mobile homes (manufactured/titled).  Since inception, GHC seeks to build a home that is indistinguishable from a traditional site built home.
