Overall SOME unusual designs you cant do in total modular construction, but that is only VERY unusualy floor plans. The one I owned was definetely stronger as it had all 2×6 walls with hurricane straps on walls and roof connections and a DOUBLE marriage wall with sheathing.
Yes Excel sells to … Yes Excel sells to the builder in our case was rotten.However when we had problems with plumbing “not to Code”marginal wiring that was done at the factory.
Ours is about same size as yours bit bigger but we have been in ours 5 years so I know of the things I speak.
I think you are … I think you are mistaken in blaming Excel as being hard to deal with. typically Excel only sells the home to your builder, and the builder is the one responsible for finish work, and dealing with any issues you may have. We just had a 2400 sf Excel home delivered to us 2 weeks ago, and besides a few items that were wrong (nothing that can’t be remedied), the house is excellent. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.
Buyer beware! the … Buyer beware! the set crew isn’t always capable of putting a house together correctly.
Excel isn’t liable for what the set crew does.
Also expect sheet rock cracks and windows out of true. Excel is terrible to deal with.
Always have the bank holdback on the money as you’ll never get the house problems corrected. We had many.!!
From non code plumbing to drafty windows to poorly installed doors, drywall popping off nails instead of screws.!

can anybody compare traditional building VS modular construction?
I am looking for a SWOT analysis:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
Thank you and all the best
