What is a Crest Home?

The term generally used to describe a Crest Home is "modular". Crest Homes are system-built under environmentally controlled conditions and constructed in very much the same way as a "stick built" home and shipped to the home site on two or more carriers for final assembly. Crest Homes are built to the same building code requirements as any other home. The State or independent third party inspectors carefully inspect every home. Crest Homes comply with the C.A.B.O., O.B.B.C., B.O.C.A., U.B.C., and Southern Building Code as well as the National Electrical Code.  [top]

How does a Crest Home differ from a "site built home"?

When you think about construction, you may realize the "site built" homes are really not "built" but they are assembled. Builders purchase building components, such as roof trusses, studs, floor joist, decking, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, shingles, electrical wire, bath fixtures, floor coverings, etc. from local building supply houses or component manufacturers and ship these materials to the job-site for assembly. Crest, by contrast purchases brand name materials direct from the manufacturer in large quantities and assembles them in the Crest factory under controlled conditions out of the weather. Using sophisticated cutting equipment, precision jigs to assemble components and by using the "right equipment to perform the right job", the Crest craftsman have the benefit of building your home under "ideal working conditions" resulting in an efficient and timely building of your new home.  [top]
