Alternative Housing Solutions is a general contractor specializing in off-frame modular construction, with an exclusive right to build R-anell Homes. R-anell is known for their quality and efficiency in the modular business.
AHS Sells Modular Homes, not Mobile Homes
AHS does not sell mobile homes, they sell off-frame
Modular Homes.
There is a big difference.
It is important to understand that a home owner who builds a modular home is not buying a mobile home. They are buying a home that is in every way identical to a site-built home, except that a modular home has better quality, dollar for dollar. This is because the off-frame modular homes that AHS builds are built in a concise, factory controlled, cost-effective way, that builds each home perfect each time.
Off frame modular homes are built to meet and exceed the building code and are built tough enough to survive being picked up by a crane and assembled into position at the building site without so much as breaking a window or cracking a mirror. They result in instant equity because they are less expensive to build, but are valued identical to site-built homes. Furthermore, they increase their value over time.
AHS builds Only R-anell Modular Homes
R-anell is known industry-wide for the quality of its
homes and its commitment to service.
Alternative Housing Solutions builds only R-anell Modular Homes because of R-anell’s reputation for quality and excellence. R-anell homes are recognized throughout the building industry as the best built modular homes available.
R-anell’s commitment to high quality changed the reputation of the modular home industry from one of poor quality and service to the reputation it now enjoys of building high quality homes that offer better value than the equivalent site-built home.
Alternative Housing Solutions is a Licensed General Contractor
Being a licensed general contractor gives Alternative Housing Solutions the ability to provide a better quality home at less cost faster than site built homes.
Whereas most modular home companies are not licensed builders, Alternative Housing Solutions is a general contractor licensed in the state of North Carolina. Because AHS is a licensed contractor, the whole process of installing a home goes smoother. It allows AHS to manage the entire process of home building and installation from start to finish.
Furthermore, being a licensed general contractor means that AHS makes sure that all work that is done meets and exceeds the North Carolina building code standard. Finally, it makes it easier for our customers to arrange financing as many lending institutions will not approve a loan for a new home until they actually see the general contractor’s license.
By building a quality modular home, AHS receives many new customers from referrals and by striving to provide a modular home built to the very stringent North Carolina building codes, AHS can provide a new home at a lower cost but better quality than site built homes.
AHS, Where Service Begins with Respect
AHS strives to be the best modular home builder in North
Carolina,
as measured by customer satisfaction.
Building is home is probably the biggest investment and expense that a person is going to make in a lifetime. As such, it is very important to Alternative Housing Solutions that its customer’s have a good experience in buying a home. AHS views customers as equal partners in the home building business. Therefore, AHS does not use high pressure sales techniques, but instead acts as a guide for the customer through the often complex decision making process of building a home.
AHS also employs a full time project manager who keeps the customer informed about the status and progress of the new home building project. AHS works with the customer from the moment the they first walk through the door to the moment they are handed the keys to their brand new home.
This is all part of what AHS does to be the best Modular builder in NC as measured by customer satisfaction and quality.
Alternative Housing Solutions and Jerry Dotson
Realty
AHS owns Jerry Dotson Realty to assist our customers to
find the perfect land on which to locate their new home.
One of the biggest problems our customers face in building a modular home is finding the land to locate the home. Finding the right location for your new home is just as important as building the home itself. However, unless the customer already owns the land they wish to use, finding land can be difficult. This is because most realty companies do not like to deal in land sales because the price is lower so the sale does not earn as much commission. This means that most realty companies are not experts at land sales and are not familiar with the available land in the area.
To assist our customers, AHS owns Jerry Dotson realty, which acts as a buyer’s agent for our customers and specializes in finding the right land for our customers to build a new home. Jerry Dotson Realty focuses on land purchases, which allows them to be experts on the available land in Western North Carolina. They are also members of the Asheville and Hendersonville Board of Realtors. So, if finding land is a problem, AHS can help.
