Today I had the pleasure of visiting a new development that has gotten so much buzz, Sitka Landing in Campbell River. 3 styles of west-coast contemporary rancher homes are being installed beginning this summer. You’ll have the option of:
The Estero
featuring 950 sq ft of living space with 2 beds and 2 full bathrooms. Currently priced at $472,303 +GST
The Sonora
featuring 1,070 sq ft of living space with 2 beds, 2 baths and a flex room. Currently priced at $489,900+GST
The Cortez
featuring 1,200 sq ft of living space with 3 beds, 2 baths and is currently priced at $509,975+GST
Besides affordability, the open floor plans and design of these homes are super thoughtful and work for everyone. There is more to learn about Sitka landing that I can’t cover entirely in this post alone but please feel free to contact me directly if you’re interested in knowing more about this new Campbell River community!
These brand-new modular homes are built by a Vancouver Island-based company called Supermod. But don’t let the word modular scare you into thinking this is your average pre-fab home.
Pre-fab simply means pre-fabricated. What Supermod does is this, but better.
Using a highly specialized technology, called CNC Manufacturing (which stands for Computer Numerical Control) to produce perfectly sized 3D-printed steel frames for their modular homes, the result is a sleek home design, in a shorter time. We’re talking from months to weeks, as the components of the home are assembled in the factory, then installed on-site.
Because of their building method and by using galvanized steel, Supermod homes are much more sustainable. They are produced with such accuracy that there is much less wasted building material, and steel is 100% recyclable! Not to mention it’s stronger and more durable. Compare steel to wood. With wood, you have the potential for rot due to moisture absorption, pests, mould, and warping. All of this can compromise the structure of your home over time, costing you money and even your health.
Not only does building with steel prevent these issues but steel is also non-combustible, preventing fire spread. The lighter material also cuts back on shipping costs, again saving you money!
But enough from me! Supermod was gracious enough to open its doors to its factory to give you a glimpse of how the process works, so check out the footage from this visit in the video above!
