Press Release Summary = With the cost of new home construction rising year after
year, manufactured homes and modular homes offer an affordable alternative to site
built new home construction.

Press Release Body = Did you know the average cost of a building a traditional 2,800
square foot site built home, according to the National Association of Home Builders,
is over $373,000? While many people would love to build their dream home, most can
not afford to do so. However, manufactured homes and modular homes offer an
affordable alternative to site built new home construction.

To fill the need for affordable new housing in the Western Pennsylvania tri-state
area, Dream Home Sales & Construction (http://www.dreamhomesalesinc.com) sells a
complete line of custom manufactured homes and modular homes at prices typically 30
percent less than site built homes. DHS offers a series of floor plans to choose
from and can help customers find property, sell their current house and secure
financing.

Modular Homes
Modular homes are built with 25 percent more materials than stick-built homes. For
example, 2x10s are used in the floors of DHS\'s modular homes while the average
builder uses 2x8s. Custom built home builders tend to use tend to use particle board
while modular homes use plywood and 2x6s are used in exterior walls, while the
average stick-built home has 2x4s. According to DHS\'s John Pover, "A modular home
has to be structurally stronger, because it has to be transported," he said. The
modular homes offered by Dream Home Sales & Construction average $69 to $89 per
square foot depending on the enhancements chosen. Stick built homes cost upwards of
$100 per square foot. "A modular home is a custom built house, only it\'s built
better and is up to 30 percent less expensive," he said.

Manufactured Homes
Formerly referred to as trailers, modern manufactured homes have come a long way.
Today, manufactured homes have to comply with strict federal construction and safety
standards. These codes control manufactured home construction, strength and
durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. In addition, the performance
standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal, and electrical
systems are federally regulated. According to Pover, "Manufactured homes of today
are built as well as stick-built homes because they are built in a complete
water-proof environment and follow strict HUD codes."
