Palm Harbor Homes, one of the nation’s premier builders of modular systems-built homes, is pleased to announce its partnership with the Westshore Community Development Corporation on the construction of Westshore Landings. Westshore Landings is a 57-unit townhome development located in the heart of the Westshore district. Each townhome will consist of 2 or 3 bedrooms and will include its own garage. These affordable homes feature highly functional floor plans, beautiful styling, and are equipped with the latest in energy efficient appliances.
Efficient systems and building methods developed through 30 years of experience will enable Palm Harbor to finish the Westshore Landings project in approximately half the time of a traditional builder, while meeting or exceeding all local building and wind codes.
Quality Control. With production facilities in various states, Palm Harbor provides complete control of the modular building process and ensures attractive homes with high quality construction and durability. Palm Harbor offers a variety of prefabricated townhomes with a wide price range to fit different budgets and needs. In addition to a variety of modular townhomes, Palm Harbor also specializes in multifamily modular buildings such as apartments, condominiums and duplexes. These modular townhomes are indistinguishable from site built projects and are available in multi-story configurations. Each modular building is constructed to the same standards as site built homes and is inspected numerous times throughout the construction process, ensuring a high quality finished home.
Production Efficiencies. Palm Harbor Home’s off-site construction process provides numerous benefits to the modular townhome customer. The off-site construction process allows modular townhomes to be manufactured in a more efficient manner. As much as 80%-90% of each modular townhome is prefabricated in the factory while the site is being prepared, saving time and money. This environmentally-protected construction process also eliminates delays and rework due to weather damage. Consequently, more work can be accomplished in the same amount of time due to the production efficiencies gained through factory infrastructure. Located near large sources of skilled labor, Palm Harbor’s production facilities are not impacted by labor shortages and remote locations. Overall, the efficiencies created by Palm Harbor’s off-site construction process reduces construction time by as much as 60%, which relates to a large financial impact through incremental revenue and capitalization rates.
Reduced Site Disruption. Other benefits of off-site construction include reduced site traffic, reduced noise levels safety risks and community complaints as only limited personnel are needed on site. This reduced site disruption also makes modular town homes well suited for most urban in-fill projects.
Gold Key Care. Palm Harbor Homes' Gold Key Care extends the quality process from the construction centers directly to your home site. Palm Harbor's Gold Key Care Professionals thoroughly inspect, adjust, test and finish your home to model center standards. And they do it quickly, correctly and efficiently.
