How to Price Your Modular Home Purchase

September 9, 2017 by Lou D'Aconto

 

Modular homes

There are a number of factors to consider in the construction of any home, and modular homes are no different from traditional houses in many respects. That’s why pricing your modular home purchase can be a complex task, and why you are likely to get very different quotes from builder to builder. To a large extent, those quotes reflect what each builder is most comfortable handling as part of the home construction process. So, for example, if your site needs a lot of grading and clearing and there is a builder that specializes in it, then you are likely to get your best deal there.

Modular Home Construction

April 24, 2017 by Lou D'Aconto

Many people confuse modular homes with manufactured homes. In fact, many people use the two terms interchangeably, but modular and manufactured homes are completely different from each other. The similarities start and end with the construction of each taking place primarily indoors.

 

Manufactured homes are trailers or mobile homes that can be easily transported to a new location. Modular home construction is permanent to the site at which it is completed. The pieces are constructed offsite and then shipped to the permanent location and pieced together there. While this may seem odd, there are actually many benefits to constructing a home in this manner. [Read more…]

Advantages of Modular Homes

March 24, 2017 by Lou D'Aconto

Houses come in many styles, but some prospective homeowners want a little extra control over the design of their new homes. Thus, they turn to modular home construction, where prefabricated modules are transported from an off-site facility and assembled into a new house. While unconventional and sometimes dismissed because of misconceptions about what they entail, modular homes offer distinct advantages in design and construction quality alike.

The multiple sections, or modules, that make up a modular home are constructed indoors in a factory-like setting. While individual modules come from pre-made plans, they can be assembled with great flexibility. Additionally, being built in a climate-controlled facility means safety from weather damage, and the consistent module designs mean minimized waste as the builders know just what they need. The waste also isn’t left behind at the housing site, since construction takes place elsewhere. Moreover, modules can be constructed simultaneously so that they’re all finished more quickly.

February 13, 2017 by Lou D'Aconto

If you are like many homeowners, the appeal of building a new house can be irresistible. With the time and expense involved, however, a conventional build can seem unrealistic. Fortunately, there is an alternative. By working with a qualified modular home builder, you can construct a new home without the hassles of traditional home construction. Here are four benefits of building a manufactured house.

 

  1. Cost Effectiveness

 Manufactured houses cost less to build than traditional homes. In fact, to get a great modular home, you might spend less than half the cost of a traditional house.

Choosing a Top Quality Modular Home Builder

December 13, 2016 by Lou D'Aconto

With considerable design enhancements and a variety of amenities, today’s modular homes are vastly different than their ancestors. If you are looking for an innovative housing option, you might consider a modular home. Choosing the right builder, though, can be challenging. Here are three suggestions for picking the right modular home builder to construct your dream house.

 

Choose Your Home’s Style

 Before you shop for a builder for your modular home, you need to decide what style of home you want. Modular homes come in traditional, contemporary, and modern styles. However, since not every manufacturer will build every style of home, you should limit your search for builders only to those that construct the sort of modular home that meets your design goals.
