In a word, yes. Homes by Vanderbuilt modular homes are built in a method that is in many ways superior to traditional on-site construction, says Homes by Vanderbuilt. This is due to several factors, according to the team at Homes by Vanderbuilt, the first of which is a strength advantage. Because modular homes from Homes by Vanderbuilt are constructed with a move and site-installation in mind, Homes by Vanderbuilt exterior walls use 2x6 pieces of lumber, and not the traditional 2x4s seen in most traditional construction.
