  • What is a Kent Modular or Mini Manufactured Home?
    • Simply put, a manufactured home is a highly engineered method of producing homes in a efficient and cost effective manner. Kent Homes actually begin as components designed and engineered in a controlled environment at our 140,000 sq. ft.. facility in Boutouche, NB sometimes hundreds of miles from their destination. When the components are erected on your foundation and the final carpentry is completed by your retailer, the finished results become a beautifully finished home for you and your family.


  • What is The Modular Construction Process?
    • Today's Kent Homes are models of efficiency and quality assurance. The building process begins at the design phase. Kent Homes takes pride in its state of the art computer aided drafting programs (Autocad) and its team of highly skilled workers and professional on-staff engineers. Once designed, the building process begins. This process is superior to what you've seen during construction of houses in your neighborhood. The quality materials and care for detail, and the same building codes and standards are observed as set forth by the National Building Codes and the Canadian Standards Association.


  • What is the Difference Between a Kent Modular Home and a Site Build Home?
    • The modular home is composed of two or more sections which are constructed within the manufacturing plant. The completed sections are then delivered to the customers home site. A site-built home is built completely on location. For the Kent Home, efficiency begins with modern manufacturing processes. Your home travels to workstations, with all building trades represented. Work is never delayed by weather, subcontractors no-show or theft of materials. Quality engineering and modular construction techniques significantly increase the energy efficiency of your home. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship.


  • How long Does it Take to Build A Kent Modular Home?
    • Speed and Consistent quality are two of the many advantages for choosing a new Kent Modular home. On the average your new home is ready for occupancy in 10 - 12 weeks from the signing of your blue prints. Once the Manufacturing process is complete, typically with interior finish right down to carpets and cabinets, the home is delivered to your building site and placed on it's foundation. Final completion on site is usually handled by your retailer and includes plumbing and electrical hook-ups and a short list of finish work. Normally, your home is ready for occupancy within a few week.


  • What About Costs? Guaranteed Pricing?
    • When you add up all the labour, material and time savings inherent to our building process, you will find the price of a modular home is generally lower than site built homes. Our homes are 90% or more complete when leaving the plant minimizing on site work by tradespeople. Our homes will keep saving you money year after year as the Energy efficiency of your home keeps your heating bills low . When a contract has been signed with your Kent Homes Retailer we give you a final price. That's just what it is, a Final Price.
