Nelson Manufacturing
Our homes are created in climate-controlled facilities where temperature and humidity are monitored and regulated to ensure that the materials are kept out of elements. The major elements of your home: trusses, roof, walls, floors, are all built with consistency. Our experienced employees are able to control the building process much more effectively and often our modular homes surpass building codes.
Climate Controlled
Nelson Homes’ goal is to keep modular homeownership affordable and attainable. One way we do this is by saving money and time through climate-controlled manufacturing. It ensures the lumber and materials remain dry and are not exposed to the elements. This way, there is less warping and twisting, and the lines stay plumb and perfect. A more comfortable atmosphere ensures there are no lost workdays to weather and our employees are satisfied too.
Nelson Manufacturing Advantages
Compared to a traditional stick frame home, building a modular home is less expensive and saves construction time. Stick frame construction can use more materials, result in material shortages on-site, and take more labour to complete than a modular home build.
Save Money
- Less labour is required to put the structure up.
- Shorter construction time frame.
- Guaranteed price upfront; there are no-cost overruns.
- Reduced cleanup cost at the job-site.
- Less material waste.
- Less job-site theft; it's hard to steal a wall panel.
Save Time
- Nelson's experienced representatives will assist with your home design, building product selection, and delivery solutions.
- Clients have the ease of working with a single vendor to complete the entire home building process.
- Nelson's climate-controlled manufacturing process virtually eliminates costly and time-consuming construction errors and material shortages.
- Independent research shows a reduction of as much as 60% framing time.
Excellent Quality
- All modular home components follow strict building standards & codes and are thoroughly inspected multiple times throughout the manufacturing process.
- Nelson's state of the art computerized equipment ensures all home components are built with precision.
- Nelson's 70-year modular home material buying experience offers clients top quality.
The Nelson Energy Wall
We build our panelized wall systems with the Nelson Energy Wall design.
Our factory assembled energy wall applies a 1 ¾” rigid extruded polystyrene insulation that creates a thermal break (no cold studs). This design reduces heat loss, increases energy-saving, increases R-value, and eliminates on-site costs for installing rigid installation. Exterior sheathing allows for the easy installation of any siding type.
