This letter describes my recent experience with SDC Modular and Epoch Homes in building my new oceanfront home in Wareham, MA. My family moved into our new home on the 14th of July, 2007 and we are extremely satisfied with both the design-build process as well as the finished product. The project was completed on budget and within schedule. It successfully passed all inspections and is exactly what we ordered in every detail.

Being an engineer by trade, I expended a great deal of effort over eight months evaluating both modular home manufacturers and their associated builder/dealers; looking at a half or dozen different candidates active in my area. It became apparent early in the evaluation process that manufacturers and builder/dealers had to be evaluated as an integrated team, since the finished product requires a great deal of coordination between the team members. Evaluation criteria for selection of the team focused upon the following elements that were important to me:

Modular Home Material Quality – Lumber grades and dimensions, window and door quality, manufacturing processes.

Affordability – Turnkey project costs had to be guaranteed within my fixed budget.

Design Support Services - We wanted to custom design every detail of our home and required extensive design services from both the builder and the manufacturer.

Site Services – Our site contained a cottage built in 1949 that needed to be removed and the entire site required reconfiguration for the foundation, water and septic system.

Past Performance – Customer references, previous project site visits, better business bureau and other sources indicative of manufacturer and builder performance were evaluated. Several candidates were quickly eliminated during this evaluation.

Epoch and SDC Modular ranked very high in all five criteria individually and as a team. The existence of a professional intimacy between Epoch and SDC Modular became very evident to me during the interviews of both parties as well as review of previously finished projects. Both SDC Modular and Epoch are committed to customer satisfaction and are capable to work together as a team to achieve the highest levels of customer satisfaction.

To answer your question, yes, both my wife and I are very happy with the house. Dana's attention to detail has culminated in an outstanding house that has generated many compliments from friends, neighbors, and other contractors. As future reference working with Dana has been a great experience as evidence by his work - skilled sub-contractors, timely completion, coordination with Epoch, and daily communication - I would recommend him highly for future projects.

“Through SDC Modular, I recently purchased a custom designed Epoch modular home. The house and the building process turned out to be way beyond my expectations.

All of the credit goes to Dana Nilson, owner of SDC Modular, who worked with me to design my home to my specifications. He supervised every step and detail of the process and was always available to discuss any concerns I had. Any issues that came up were resolved immediately. All estimated deadlines were met from demolition of my existing home, excavation & foundation, to delivery of the house and receipt of my occupancy permit.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Dana Nilson and SDC Modular to anyone wishing to build a custom modular home. The experience was exciting and stress free. I love my new home.”
