From Factory to Site: The Critical Journey of Modular Delivery

The journey of a modular home doesn’t start on site—it starts long before, inside a factory. But the moment those modules leave the plant, everything changes.

At TMOD™, we call that moment “From Factory to Site.”
It’s the bridge between precision manufacturing and real-world execution—and one of the most important (and misunderstood) stages in modular construction.

Why Delivery Planning Matters

Getting a modular home from the factory to its final location isn’t as simple as loading it on a truck. It requires a detailed plan that accounts for transport routes, site conditions, crane access, and timing—each one critical to success.

A missed turn, a soft patch of ground, or an overhead powerline can throw off an entire day. That’s why at TMOD™, every project includes an early feasibility and logistics review to anticipate what’s ahead.

Challenges on the Road

Every modular delivery tells a story. Over the past two weeks, we’ve delivered two new TMOD™ homes in Colorado, each facing a completely different set of challenges:

• Narrow mountain roads that required precision trucking coordination.

• Steep site slopes demanding creative crane placement.

• Tight timing windows where local road closures had to be scheduled down to the minute.

• Turning radius: Can the hauler make the final approach without getting stuck or running into an something?

Each obstacle reinforces one thing: the value of planning early and planning smart.

Tools We Use to Get It Right

At TMOD™, we combine experience with technology to make sure every delivery goes smoothly.
Here’s how we do it:

Feasibility Studies – Early research on access roads, delivery angles, and crane setup zones.
3D Site Overlays – Digital models showing exactly how modules will enter and position on the foundation.
Coordination Calls – Weekly alignment between factory, trucking company, and set crew.
Drone Mapping – Real-time visualization of site grades and obstacles before delivery day.

This blend of digital planning and boots-on-the-ground coordination ensures that delivery day feels like the final step—not another challenge to overcome.

From Factory Floor to Front Door

When you watch a modular home arrive on site, it’s more than a truck and a crane—it’s months of collaboration coming together in one moment.

The upcoming video from our Colorado deliveries captures this process in action: modules rolling down the road, arriving at the job site, and being carefully staged for set day.

It’s a reminder that modular isn’t just about faster construction—it’s about smarter logistics, safer handling, and seamless integration from factory to site.

Final Thought

A home isn’t truly modular unless every step—from the first CAD file to the final foundation bolt—is coordinated as one continuous process.

 At TMOD™, that’s exactly what we do: We make sure every mile between the factory and the site adds up to success on set day.
