I Found a new PREFAB HOME Company Building 100s of Attainable Dwellings!

ByMyProperty Life

This week I went to Indy to check out a prefab home company building single and multi family dwellings with a focus on attainability called Volumod. While I was there one of the projects I looked at a development of 64 triplexes for a total of 192 units made up of 1 and 2 bedroom floor plans. In this video I look at the 1 and 2 bedroom unit. Watch to learn more about the Alder Triplex from Volumod.

    Speed of Delivery: Projects can be completed between 30% to 50% faster than conventional builds. By manufacturing modules in parallel with site preparation, project timelines are dramatically shortened.

  • Cost Certainty: Fixed pricing models ensure better budget control, limiting the financial risks often associated with construction overruns.

  • Quality Control: Building in a factory environment ensures higher precision, tighter tolerances, and protection from weather delays, resulting in a consistently superior finished product.

  • Sustainability: Volumod’s modular approach reduces material waste, improves energy efficiency, and promotes sustainable building practices, aligning with modern environmental goals.

Community and Workforce Development

Volumod is deeply committed to local economic growth and workforce training. They actively collaborate with local community organisations to create employment opportunities and develop skills in the construction trades. Their initiatives particularly focus on revitalising underserved areas like the Far Eastside of Indianapolis, strengthening their community roots while building a stronger workforce.

Customer and Employee Feedback

Employee reviews suggest that Volumod is regarded as a positive workplace, with supportive management and pathways for professional growth. However, as with many growing organisations, some feedback points to opportunities for improving management consistency and further enhancing the workplace culture.

While customer reviews are currently limited, Volumod maintains a strong industry reputation and has been recognised for its professionalism and dedication to quality. Their operations are closely aligned with modular construction best practices, and they carry a high credibility rating with industry regulatory bodies.

Conclusion

Volumod is a rising force within the modular construction sector, offering innovative, efficient, and community-focused building solutions. Their combination of high-quality products, accelerated build times, commitment to sustainability, and social impact initiatives sets them apart from many competitors.

For developers, municipalities, and organisations seeking modern housing solutions with reduced timelines and controlled costs, Volumod presents a compelling and trustworthy choice. Their projects stand as a testament to the potential of modular construction when approached with precision, vision, and a strong community spirit.

  • Hillside Sanctuary

    The owner of this property came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer looking for a personal retreat inspired by a home lost to fire decades earlier in the hills of Appalachia. The firm’s task was not to recreate that home but rather to give its spirit new form in the Pacific Northwest. Taking inspiration from its remote site in the San Juan Islands, our team envisioned a series of simple stone volumes. From that concept emerged the main house and a guest house, each responding to its own unique location on the site. Together they provide friends and family with comfortable accommodation while offering a sanctuary for the owner at the main home. Taking full advantage of sweeping views of Puget Sound, the main home is sited on a small plateau high on top of a steeply-sloping hillside. With a view on one side and a road on the other, the site suggested a stone plinth and stone wall to form the base and rear of the house. A pair of stone fireplace volumes support the concept, rising together to form the boundaries of a central stone staircase that separates the main level into public and private realms. Atop the low stone base then perches a light-filled wood structure. Its simple shed roof tips low in front to protect from the summer sun while offering space for a photovoltaic array above. Winter light in turn penetrates deep into the main living spaces through a wall of glass running continuously across building’s south elevation. The relative height difference between this wood pavilion and that of the adjacent stone volume also allows consistent north light to flood into the primary living spaces via a series of clerestory windows, which release warm air high on the leeward side of the structure. The site for the guest house came with more significant technical challenges. The concept begins with a stone tower set near the center of the small circular parcel. Rising high above steeply-sloping grade, it acts as a three-dimensional datum through which feature program elements are allowed to puncture. The main entry offers ease of access to the project’s public spaces through a simple, full-height opening cut into the stone volume’s north elevation. The stair, comprised of a concrete base below large casement windows, allows natural light to fill the main stairway as it leads guests toward the bedrooms located at the home’s lower level. Opposite the entry, the view deck extends from the great room, cantilevering far above grade. The dining room, finally, was conceived as a three-sided glass object floating in a forest of trees. Two steel beams carry its entire weight and extend deep into the floor system. To enhance the concept, our team preserved trees only a few feet from the dining room by developing custom retaining walls capable of avoiding critical root zones.
