The Modular Building Company Inc.

Custom home builder doing residential and light commercial modular structures The Modular Building Company, Inc. has been set up to construct both homes and small commercial projects primarily in the central Maryland and Washington, DC area. Our experience includes building over 400 homes and numerous small commercial projects. Since 1989, these have all been modular or panels. We have chosen to concentrate on this type of construction for a number of reasons. First, the construction is far superior in structural strength and quality than normal “stick” construction in residential and light commercial use. Because so much of the construction process is done in a factory under controlled conditions and continuous supervision and inspections, the risk of errors of any kind as well as poor quality control are dramatically lessened. This allows us to do our job more effectively and with many less people than ever before. Modular construction is also well recognized for its energy efficiency during construction and occupancy of the dwelling as well as the lack of waste during the construction process. Our manufacturers, Apex Homes of PA LLC and Custom Building Systems LLC. are “Energy Star” manufacturers and helps us to maintain those processes throughout the construction. We use subcontractors to do most of the work that is not completed in the factory. These are contractors that we have used for years, on many types of jobs. We supervise their work and we may also complete some of the finish work and carpentry work ourselves. Our subcontractors are all experienced in many types of construction, both commercial and residential. Our goals are simple, to provide the best possible job at the best price for the client using as many “green” practices as we can. Hopefully, one job will lead to another. Sixteen years ago we finished a six thousand square foot addition to an assisted living facility where we framed and roofed the entire structure in five days. We also completed a panelized shell for a forty-five hundred square foot house in St. Mary’s County. We have also completed a number of jobs for the United States Secret Service. These jobs ranged from a large classroom facility to remodeling their gym to constructing a garage and a latrine. We have also participated in building a dance studio and remodeled a furniture store. This commercial work was done at the same time as we were building a number of homes.
