Modular Housing

Modular construction allows for hundreds of options and design possibilities. Allowing for state building codes, you can modify or upgrade your general construction specifications. Design your own floor plans and elevations, pick the style of windows or siding, choose colors of vinyl, carpet, countertops, and bath fixtures. The possibilities are endless.

Your Gemstone Fields custom built modular home is among the most energy efficient homes on the market today. Constructed using custom manufactured jigs, ensures that all walls, floors and ceilings are square and plumb. All interior walls are lag bolted to the exterior walls as well as bracing and insulation on all electrical outlet boxes. Galvanized straps brace the wall to the floor.

In 1971, the Walt Disney Corporation built the Contemporary Resort Hotel using modular technology. Each main building was constructed as a steel skeleton frame on a concrete foundation. The 312 individual hotel rooms were assembled separately at an on-site location by US Steel. The hotel rooms were built as completely "unitized" self-supporting modules, and could be stacked three high with no external support. Each room was completely built, painted, carpeted, wired, plumbed, and furnished at the US Steel site. Once an individual room was completed, the door to the room would be locked and not opened again until the room was transported to the hotel site and hoisted by crane into the steel building structure, slid into its spot like a dresser drawer, bolted down, and connected to the water, sewer, and electrical systems. This technology has proven the test of time.

Cost Savings

Building a Gemstone Fields Home allows for substantial "cost savings" in almost every area of the building and financing process. Here's how:

  • Bulk Material Purchases: Gemstone Fields purchases lumber and brand name materials in huge quantities as a OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) resulting in lower cost.
  • Controlled Environment: A clean plant, indoors, avoiding inclement weather, results in greater labor efficiencies, lowering cost.
  • Less Material Waste: Recycling plus warehousing our materials in a secure environment, with protection from weather and job site theft, lower cost.
  • Manufacturing Technology: Precision equipment and efficient material handling result in more accurate construction with fewer mistakes and lower cost.
  • Quality Control: Gemstone Fields are built to the appropriate building code required by each state, inspected by both Crest and Independent Third Party Inspection Agencies . This results in fewer construction errors and lower costs.
  • Construction Time Period: Since Gemstone Fields are delivered to the job site about 90% complete, total construction time is greatly reduced, incurring less interest and quicker occupancy.
  • House Plans: Gemstone Fields provide the necessary plans for building permits and complete construction without requiring an architect, lowering costs.
  • Financing Cost: Quicker construction time with fewer interest charges, result in less cost.

Quality Control

Each Gemstone Fields Home undergoes rigid quality control inspections by a Quality Assurance Department trained to inspect every aspect of construction from framing to final finishing details including electrical, mechanical and plumbing. All homes are checked to see that they conform to each state's building code by an INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY INSPECTION AGENCY. The entire quality control process starts with inspection of raw materials as they are received by the plant to ensure conformance to Gemstone Fields quality standard and specific state code requirements.
