With the ongoing housing shortage, modular homes offer a practical and efficient solution. Constructed in a controlled setting before being transported and assembled on-site, these homes minimize both construction time and material waste. This streamlined process not only makes modular homes more affordable but also enhances quality control. Plus, their customizable designs accommodate a wide range of budgets and preferences, providing flexibility that traditional homebuilding often can’t match.
If you’d like to find out more about how factory-built, manufactured homes and modular homes are constructed and what kind of benefits they offer over traditional housing, you can find several resources below.
Modular homes, also known as prefabricated homes or “prefabs”, are built in pieces or “modules” in a factory setting using the same materials and construction techniques as traditional stick-built homes. However, they differ in that they are transported to the final location for assembly rather than being built on-site.
During the pre-approval process, you will set a budget that will determine the rest of the building experience. This budget will help you make all the decisions in steps 2-4.
If you already have a lot, you’ll need to get all the required land tests and site inspections. If you don’t have a lot, your builder can help you find a suitable plot of land.
Our in-house construction and building team will guide you through the process of designing your modular home to fit your budget, design, and needs. From there, we will take the build design to the factory and start constructing your home.
Your loan financing will be secured through the lending institution of your choice, and once everything is set up, construction can begin immediately! The building process of a modular home typically takes 30-120 days from setting to occupancy. First, the bulk of the construction work is completed off-site, in the factory. Next, the home is shipped to your lot in specially-designed carriers. It arrives 70-90% complete.
While your home is being completed, the initial site work gets underway, with everything from clearing the lot and digging the septic system to laying a foundation and grounding the electrical system. After the home arrives, it is set onto the foundation, and construction continues with mechanical installation and finishing touches. The last step is getting the whole structure inspected.
Once the home is inspected, it will be ready for you to do a walk-through and officially move in! You’ll be occupying your new home in what feels like no time.
