RTM-Homes.com RTM Home Information
RTM-Ready-to-Move-Homes are a terrific option to consider when looking
for affordable housing. An RTM home is
a home that is manufactured completely on the builders site and then moved by truck to the location of your
choice.
An RTM (Ready to move) home, cottage or duplex is built to completion in the builder's yard, and the entire building
is carefully loaded onto a specially designed moving trailer. The home is delivered to your site and placed onto
your foundation. You then only need to have the electrical and plumbing hook-ups installed. RTM's come with cabinets,
floor coverings, paint, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and even the light bulbs!
RTM - Ready to move homes are very well constructed and allow you to have a
new customized home in the location
that you choose without having to pay many of the additional contractor fees associated with not building your
home in an urban area.
The advanced processes and materials used in RTM Home manufacturing today allows
complete customization of your
home. You can choose the floor plan and layout, colors fixtures, finishing and more.
One option for building an onsite "custom built home" is to build an RTM (Ready To Move) home. An RTM has some advantages over custom building on-site.
- An RTM can be built at a lower cost than an on-site custom built home.
- A custom built RTM can reduce building time by as much as 2 to 6 months - often even more.
- Original or existing house locations can be used with a minimum of inconvenience to the home owner.
- An RTM can be moved to remote locations where power and building supplies may be limited.
- An RTM is built stronger than an on-site home to enable it to be moved.
When choosing the right RTM Home builder you should ensure that they :
- Are reliable professional RTM Home builders with a solid local reputation in the industry - if you aren't sure, ask around. Local suppliers and
tradesmen know who the good companies are and who to avoid. Talk to previous customers of the RTM Home builder you're interested in going with.
Any RTM Home building company won't hesitate to give you references -- if they don't that should be a big alarm bell saying "stay away!"
- Include a comprehensive warranty with every RTM Home they build. If an RTM construction company doesn't include a warranty for your
new home, that means they don't back their work. Why would you trust them with your hard earned money if they don't trust their own work?
