About Vantem & Modular Construction
Is Vantem modular?
Yes. Vantem builds modular structures using large factory-produced building segments—delivered complete with floors, walls, roofs, electrical, plumbing, and finishes. Unlike most modular companies, we also provide in-house architecture, engineering, logistics, and GC support, giving developers a full turnkey solution.
Is Vantem offsite construction?
Yes. Vantem manufactures modular building segments in U.S. factories and delivers them for single-family homes, multifamily housing, hotels, and more. Offsite production is paired with onsite assembly for faster, higher-quality projects.
Does Vantem build in a factory?
Yes. Up to 70% of construction happens in our factories in Clio, SC, and Lakeland, GA. Our modules arrive with finishes, plumbing, and electrical, reducing onsite work to foundations, hookups, and assembly.
How does Vantem’s technology compare to traditional construction?
Vantem is 50% faster, stronger, and more energy-efficient than traditional site-built methods. Factory-controlled production improves quality and reduces waste, while parallel site and module work cuts project time in half.
Is Vantem prefab or modular?
Vantem is both. We prefabricate large volumetric modules in factories, then transport and install them onsite—delivering stronger, more efficient, code-compliant buildings.
Speed & Process
How much faster is Vantem construction?
Vantem projects are typically built 50% faster:
- Apartments (200–300 units): 12–15 months instead of 24–30.
- Hotels (100–150 rooms): 6–8 months instead of 12–18.
- Single-family homes: 3–5 months instead of 8–12.
Why is Vantem faster than traditional building?
We build offsite and onsite in parallel—factories produce modules while site work and foundations are prepared. This overlap shortens schedules by 50% or more.
What is the typical timeline for a Vantem project?
- Single-family home: 3–5 months.
- Multifamily project: 12–15 months for 200–300 units.
- Hotel: 6–8 months for 100–150 rooms.
How does the delivery and installation process work?
Vantem transports modules on our own trucks, sets them with cranes, and provides installation, finishing, and even full turnkey services including site prep and foundations.
Cost, Financing & Profitability
Are Vantem projects less expensive?
Yes. Faster build times reduce financing and overhead costs while accelerating revenue. Depending on project type and location, total costs can be lower than traditional construction.
How much do Vantem modular buildings cost per square foot?
Costs vary by building type, size, finish level, and site conditions. Generally, Vantem is more cost-effective than site-built options while delivering higher performance.
How are Vantem projects more profitable for developers?
By reducing costs and timelines by up to 50%, developers save on interest and overhead and generate revenue months or years earlier.
Can Vantem projects qualify for green building incentives or tax credits?
Yes. Vantem’s energy-efficient buildings may qualify for tax credits, green financing, or sustainability incentives depending on location.
Sustainability & Energy
Are Vantem homes energy-efficient?
Yes. Vantem buildings perform up to 35% better than traditional site-built homes, thanks to proprietary envelope materials and optimized design.
Are Vantem buildings sustainable?
Yes. Our modular process reduces construction waste by up to 75%, improves energy efficiency, and minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional building methods.
How does Vantem reduce construction waste?
Factory automation, precision cutting, and material optimization allow us to reduce waste by 75% versus site-built construction.
Durability & Safety
Are Vantem buildings hurricane-resistant?
Yes. Vantem structures withstand winds up to 180 mph and have performed successfully in Category 5 hurricanes.
Are Vantem buildings fire-resistant?
Yes. Proprietary refractory materials and engineered systems make Vantem homes highly fire-resistant.
Are Vantem buildings earthquake-resistant?
Yes. Vantem designs meet or exceed seismic code requirements for earthquake-prone regions.
Why are Vantem structures stronger than traditional buildings?
Modules must withstand transport and crane lifts, so they’re engineered stronger than typical site-built structures, using proprietary materials for durability in extreme conditions.
How do Vantem buildings perform in cold climates and flood zones?
Vantem homes excel in cold climates due to superior insulation and energy efficiency, and in flood zones through elevated foundation designs proven in coastal projects.
Products & Applications
What types of buildings does Vantem deliver?
Single-family homes, multifamily housing (workforce, senior, student), hotels, and military housing.
Can Vantem build custom homes?
Yes. Our Affinity brand offers customizable modular homes with flexible floor plans and finish options.
Can Vantem modular buildings be expanded or remodeled?
Yes. Vantem buildings can be expanded, remodeled, or renovated just like traditional homes.
What sizes and floor plans are available?
Single-family homes from 1,000–5,000+ sq. ft., plus a wide range of multifamily, student, and hospitality layouts.
Locations & Markets
Where is Vantem headquartered?
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Where are Vantem factories located?
Clio, South Carolina, and Lakeland, Georgia.
What regions does Vantem serve?
Southeastern U.S.—including VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, LA, TN, and KY. With our own logistics company, we can deliver projects nationwide on request.
Does Vantem build internationally?
Not currently. We’ve built over 3 million sq. ft. overseas but are now focused on U.S. expansion. International projects will return in the future.
Design, Codes & Customization
Can Vantem work with my architect?
Yes. We collaborate with outside architects or provide in-house design and engineering.
Do Vantem buildings meet local codes and aesthetics?
Yes. All modules are state-inspected and code-approved before delivery. Our flexible designs and finishes meet even strict local aesthetic requirements.
Partnerships & Clients
Who does Vantem sell to?
We partner with builders, developers, municipalities, and government agencies. Homebuyers are served through our approved builder network.
Does Vantem work with governments or municipalities?
Yes. For example, we’ve partnered with the City of Atlanta to deliver affordable housing projects.
Track Record

How long has Vantem been in business?
Over 15 years in modular design, engineering, and delivery.
Maintenance & Long-Term Performance
How do Vantem homes perform over time?
As well or better than high-quality site-built homes. Our factory standards reduce defects, while stronger engineering extends lifespan.
Are Vantem structures easy to maintain?
Yes. Factory precision reduces issues, and we use proven durable materials for roofing, siding, and finishes.
Can Vantem homes be remodeled or renovated later?
Absolutely. Vantem homes can be updated or expanded just like traditional homes.
