It means just what it sounds like! Your home is built in our climate-controlled factory just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. As much work as possible is completed in your home prior to shipping, including the electrical, plumbing, and ventilation systems. This ensures better quality control and a more intact air barrier than contractors can achieve when they construct a home on the building site.

Construction time varies depending on the time of year you order your home – some seasons are busier than others. When we’re busy, we can usually ship your new home in no more than three months. At other times, your home may be ready to ship in eight weeks or less.

We’re proud of our facilities and our craftspeople, so we love having guests. If you’re interested in visiting our Rosslyn, Ontario factory – to see your own home under construction, or someone else’s – contact your Smart Modular Representative!

You can have any kind of siding. Let us know what you want – brick, vinyl, clapboard, you name it. Brick is, of course, installed on-site.

Choose hardwood floors, upgraded baths or kitchens, or premium interior trims and Smart Modular Canada Inc. will happily accommodate you.

Our minimum Canadian, U.S. and First Nation specifications reflect our commitment to quality and value in every home. However, we’ll upgrade any of our materials to suit your needs.

Shipping will be included in your pricing from Smart Modular. Your home will be shipped on our specially designed flatbed trucks and we’ll arrange for the crane that will offload and assemble the modules.

You can sub-contract your home’s foundation and service hookups, or you can let your Smart Modular Representative provide a turnkey solution to site preparation.

Choose the roof pitch that best suits your dream home. Our unique hinged-roof system allows us to transport homes of any design without worrying about clearance issues.

Modular homes are often more affordable than comparable homes built entirely on-site. The final cost will naturally depend on your home’s style, features and location. Local building requirements may also affect the final cost. A rule of thumb is the larger the home, the lower the cost per square foot. Contact your Smart Modular Representative for information on pricing.

You may change many aspects of your home’s layout so that it better suits your family. Move an interior wall, remove a wall to combine two rooms, add a sliding door, or even let us build a home based on your own plans: a Smart Modular Canada Inc. sales representative can tell you what’s possible.

As much construction as possible is completed in our climate-controlled factory prior to delivery. This includes most electrical, plumbing and ventilation work, as well as insulation, drywall, and the installation of doors and windows, interior trim, kitchen cabinets and bathroom fixtures. How much is left to do on-site depends in part on your home’s design. Brick or stone cladding, for instance, is completed after delivery. Your Smart Modular Canada Inc. sales representative can tell you more.

Completing one of our homes on site requires a variety of skills and comprehensive knowledge of home building practices. If you choose, however, and if you meet your province’s or state’s regulations governing building trades and professionals, you may coordinate the finishing of your home as general contractor. Contact Smart Modular Canada Inc. or your local building department for more information.

All Smart Modular Canada Inc. homes are covered by a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. Warranties provided on products such as shingles, fixtures and floor coverings are assigned to the homeowner.
