From Factory to Foundation: How We Build Homes
When it comes to building a new home, most people picture construction crews working outdoors for months on end — but at Lake City Homes, we take a smarter, more efficient approach. Through modular construction, we build each home from the inside out, ensuring precision, quality, and craftsmanship every step of the way.
If you’ve ever wondered how a modular home goes from factory to foundation, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our process — and why it’s redefining how homes are built.
1. Designed for You
Every Lake City home starts with a conversation — your vision, your needs, and your lifestyle. Whether you’re dreaming of a ranch-style home, a two-story, or something entirely custom, our team helps you choose a floor plan that fits your life perfectly.
Each model can be personalized with your preferred finishes, layouts, and design details — because your home should feel like you from day one.
2. Built Indoors, Not Outdoors
Instead of facing delays from unpredictable weather or job site conditions, we construct each home inside a climate-controlled factory. This method ensures that materials stay dry, quality stays consistent, and timelines stay on track.
Each section (or “module”) of your home is built using the same materials and to the same building codes as traditional site-built homes. In fact, modular homes often exceed standard code requirements due to the strength needed for transport and installation.
3. Precision and Quality Control
In the factory, every component — from wall framing to cabinetry installation — is inspected multiple times throughout the build process. Skilled tradespeople work side by side, ensuring every nail, joint, and connection meets strict quality standards.
Because construction happens in a controlled environment, there’s less waste, fewer delays, and a higher level of consistency across every Lake City home we build.
4. Delivered and Set on Your Foundation
Once your home is complete, it’s carefully transported to your property. Using specialized equipment, each module is positioned and joined together on your permanent foundation.
Our expert set crew ensures everything aligns seamlessly — from roof lines to plumbing connections — so your home feels like it’s always belonged right where it is.
5. Finished On-Site and Move-In Ready
After the modules are set, our team completes all final touches, including siding, drywall finishing, flooring, and any custom exterior features like porches or garages.
Within weeks, your home is move-in ready — beautifully built, energy-efficient, and crafted to last.
