Modular homes can be a faster and more affordable new home construction option for many people looking to build a home in Eagle County. Modular homes are very similar to traditionally built, new construction homes in many ways. In general, they offer similar quality and the options as a traditional on-site constructed home but are partially constructed indoors in a factory, while traditionally built houses are built entirely at the build site. Also, modular homes appreciate and gain value the same way traditional buildings do because once a modular building is fully assembled, it is near impossible to tell the difference between it and a traditionally built home. 

Modular homes are built to Colorado State Building Codes and once delivered to and assembled in Gypsum, will be subject to all applicable Gypsum Municipal Building Codes and Ordinances.
