What we do
At Upper Works, we handle a variety of custom residential, multi-family, and commercial building projects throughout Western Montana. By focusing on modular construction, we provide numerous benefits that help our clients achieve their dream homes or business spaces in a fraction of the time compared to traditional builds.
Key Benefits of Modular Construction:
– Faster Build Times: One of the most significant advantages of modular construction is speed. While traditional construction relies on a linear build process, modular construction allows us to build modules in a controlled factory setting while the foundation is being prepared on-site. This simultaneous construction reduces overall build times, helping us complete your project faster.
– Efficiency: Modular homes are built in a controlled environment, meaning they’re free from weather-related delays. This translates into greater efficiency and consistency throughout the building process, ensuring your home or commercial project is completed on time, every time.
– Cost-Effective: Modular homes offer exceptional value. With more efficient construction processes, you could save up to 15% per square foot compared to traditional stick builds. This allows us to provide a high-end finished product at a more competitive price point.
– Sustainability: Building in a factory setting reduces waste and allows for better material management. Additionally, modular construction makes use of eco-friendly building practices, contributing to a more sustainable and energy-efficient final product.
– Improved Air Quality: Since modular homes are constructed in an indoor, controlled environment, the risk of contaminants commonly found in traditional construction sites, such as dust or moisture-related issues, is significantly reduced. This leads to better air quality both during construction and after the home is completed.
– Strength and Durability: Modular homes are built with 20-30% more building materials than traditional stick frame homes, ensuring superior strength. This level of durability has been proven to outperform traditional construction in FEMA assessments, making modular homes an excellent choice for long-lasting safety and resilience.
– Fully Customizable: Today’s modular homes offer a wide range of customization options. From color palettes and flooring choices to kitchen cabinets and exterior finishes, every detail can be tailored to your preferences. Whether you select from our collection of pre-designed floor plans or provide your own custom design, we ensure that your vision is realized to perfection.
