Modular construction is, quite simply,
21st Century craftsmanship.
In the late nineteenth-century, structures were stick-built on site to take advantage of the
natural resources at hand. While we at Stratford Homes® still believe in the advantages of
high-quality stick-built craftsmanship, we know there’s no longer a need or an advantage to
building a structure completely on site.
CUSTOMIZED, CONTROLLED CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Today, quality is equated with materials, technology and precision. Almost every item on
the market is constructed within a manufacturing facility because the process is more costeffective,
timely and of superior quality. Shouldn’t we demand the same of our commercial
construction processes?
Stratford Homes’ modular construction offers
several advantages.
CLIMATE-CONTROLLED
CONSTRUCTION.
Stratford Homes’ facilities
offer optimum environmental
conditions. Exposure of materials
to on-site forces of nature are
greatly reduced, minimizing
concerns for warpage, mold and
damage to the products that
compose your custom building.
On-site problems such as subcontractor
no-shows, pilferage
and material shortages are
virtually eliminated.
SKILLED, EXPERIENCED CRAFTSPEOPLE.
Access to our exceptional staff means you’re never limited to the talent of the labor pool
in the area of your building site.
EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOM ENGINEERING
AND CONSTRUCTION.
Our Engineering and Design Team will assist in custom designing
your commercial building using the latest CAD
technology. Craftspeople use precise machinery and
quality construction methods to produce buildings with
superior structural integrity.
QUALITY CONTROL.
Our manufacturing facilities allows for consistent quality
and uniform processes. All specifications and system
designs are thoroughly communicated during each phase
of construction to ensure precision, accuracy and a
superior product.
SUPERIOR COMPLIANCE.
During construction, and before our modular units leave
the manufacturing facility, they are inspected by a
third party agency to ensure the construction has been
completed in accordance with local and state building
requirements relevant to the building site. This process,
along with assessments of the site constructed work by
the local building jurisdiction, ensures that the project
adheres to the applicable code criteria.
TIME COMPRESSION.
The Stratford Homes’ construction process occurs year
round and is typically not subject to weather delays. Site
preparation by the general contractor can be scheduled
concurrently with Stratford Homes’ modular construction.
This means your building is completed in less time than a
conventional site built structure. With the foundation in
place, modules can be delivered and set almost any time
of year.
BETTER VALUE.
Our commercial projects are cost-effective because
of efficient manufacturing processes, construction
that is not subject to seasonality and weather, volume
purchasing of materials, and decreased delivery costs
associated with bringing supplies and talent to an
on-site project.
We also offer premium name brand components and
fixtures with a wide range of options, allowing you to
appoint your building with the windows, doors, cabinets
and fixtures that fit your budget and design criteria.
CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION.
Whether you are the general contractor, or you are
involved in the process of selecting the general
contractor, you can be assured Stratford Homes will
provide the guidance needed throughout the construction
process. A budget, blueprint drawings, construction
specifications and contract agreement will be prepared.
The means and methods used in the construction and
execution of the project will be completed in accordance
with these contract documents. The designated project
manager will oversee the process ensuring that all
parties work smoothly and effectively together utilizing
knowledge of local building codes, site conditions and
experience in selecting capable sub-contractors.
ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS.
Our modular structures have a tighter shell than site built structures because of our
precision construction process. Skilled craftspeople focus their attention on areas that
can cause energy loss. The end result is less air infiltration and lower heating and cooling
costs.
ECO-FRIENDLY CONSTRUCTION.
Modular construction is more
eco-friendly than conventional
on-site construction. Damage
to the site and its surroundings
is greatly reduced because less
time is spent at the building
site. This includes less noise
pollution, on-site material
waste, and vehicular traffic that
may increase greenhouse gas
emissions.
Because Stratford Homes’
modular construction takes place within a controlled facility, material waste is minimized. Stratford Homes also has
an excellent waste management and recycling program in place. The goal is to continually
aim for optimal efficiency to improve the use of energy within our controlled manufacturing
environment.
