Virginia Building Solutions, LLC was formed in 2004 by John Garrett for the purpose of constructing systems built homes and purchasing building lots for speculation in Williamsburg, Virginia.  After successfully building modular homes in the # 1 planned community in America, Ford’s Colony, John began to receive requests to build modular homes for land owners, who, before building cost skyrocketed, planned to build a site built home.  After only a few years these same land owners found that they could no longer afford the cost, extended builder backlog or length of time it takes to build on site.  By utilizing the experience gained from building homes for speculation coupled with ten years in the factory built home industry, John decided to begin custom building for clients and even site builders who were impressed with the quality and time savings of modular homes.  In November of 2006 John was contacted by the editor of Building Systems Magazine who featured John’s success in the Modular Builder Profile section of the November/December issue.  With the shift in the housing market in mid 2006 and the growth opportunity apparent in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck of Virginia, John decided to expand the business by installing a model home and design center in Tappahannock, VA.  Just as the doors opened in Tappahannock, John was featured on July 1, 2007 in an article which made  the front page of the Real Estate section of the Richmond Times Dispatch.  John was contacted and interviewed for the article, “Modulars build a reputation” which featured the changing perceptions commonly held about the quality and benefits of building a modular home.  Two of John's clients were also interviewed and quoted in the article.  'Eric Kean did his homework before he contracted (with Virginia Building Solutions) for a modular home, "At the end of the day, I tried shooting holes in it, but modular homes are better built, and you get a better bang for your buck".'
