Montgomery Near The Square Inaugural Home Construction Progressing

The set date for our new model home in Marietta, Georgia is approaching and things are proceeding smoothly at the factory. I included some early photos in the blog post "The Benefits Of Modular Construction" (http://www.ecoclassichomes.blogspot.com/2012/01/benefits-of-modular-construction.html) and now have more to share. Our factory sends us photos regularly, so be sure to check back every couple of days for updates!

Hinged Roof Gable: During transport, the roof sections are folded flat on top of the boxes.
During the set, they swing out and up via crane and are bolted into place.


Ceiling-mounted jigs stabilize the gables allowing for a more precise structure,
and tighter joints & seams. 


Open web trusses comprise the 2nd floor joists. 


2nd floor ceiling/attic floor and roof gables. Precision craftsmanship
leads to "level & square every time." 

Sheetrock is attached to the wall and ceiling studs with both nails and a spray adhesive
providing a tight seal that enhances the R-value of the insulation. 

We use ZIP System Wall Sheathing instead of house wrap for a superior
moisture barrier and improved insulation. 

"Build Every Home As If It Were Your Home" - A daily reminder of the quality
and craftsmanship expected of everyone who picks up a tool on this factory floor.
