Did you know FEMA has new requirements in flood zones for building materials? Modular Solutions constructs custom IRC prefabricated homes. Our goal is to ensure our clients are educated about what materials to use in a flood zone. In light of all the recent natural disasters FEMA is updating the flood zone insurance requirements. Not following the new FEMA requirements could result in substantial losses. Modular Solutions team will help you identify the requirements and teach you about a superior way to build.
Modular Solutions only builds custom IRC homes. We understand that when you are in a flood plain FEMA insurance is the only option for home or lot coverage. As an architectural firm we know the most important part of the project is the preconstruction and planning phase. While the local jurisdiction may approve a set of plans, a homeowner will also want to build in compliance with the new FEMA requirements. Some key things to a homeowner build wisely:
- Know your flood elevation and what that means for construction requirements before you purchase a property
- Build with local and federal compliance in mind
- Request a FREE Download COPY (subject FEMA) , of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) technical bulletin 2 for your review
- Buy your new custom IRC home from a reputable builder- Modular Solutions has been in business since 1996
- Make sure there are CIVIL engineers and consultants on the team to evaluate site conditions and best location on the property
- Design your home with proper materials (specification) in accordance with the NFIP technical bulletin 2
- If you are on a limited budget choose structural compliance over pretty architectural finishes.
FEMA has a web site with lots of articles including building in a wildfire area, flood zone, tornado or hurricane zone. Great information and always worth stopping by their site to learn more.
