The latest trend in housing is the modular home. These are homes that are built in a factory setting. They are built in pieces and once complete, they are shipped to their final destination. When they arrive at the final destination, they are constructed together. Since the pieces are built in a factory, the only time the homes are exposed to the weather is when they are at their final destination.
Since these homes are constructed in a factory away from the elements, it is believed by experts to reduce costs. Generally a modular home will run you between $50 and $80 per square foot while a stick built home will run you between $80 and $150 per square foot. Since there are no weather delays in the factory, labor costs are lowered and work is never halted due to weather. The only time there may be labor issues is when the home is being constructed at its final spot. That process usually takes between 2 and 4 weeks.
Because of the upward trend in modular homes, manufacturers are taking advantage of this and helping customers through the whole process. They are there to help you from picking out the house to the day you move in.
When doing a search for modular homes, a basic search on the internet will bring up lists of manufacturers in your state and in your area. Look for an authorized dealer. They will be the most knowledgeable throughout the whole process.
Once the manufacturer is selected, the home selection process begins. There are numerous options. Each manufacturer has books and pictures of homes they have done or can do. Most will also have showcase homes that can be toured and personalized with your own preferences. Also, you can create your own home from the bottom up. The manufacturer can take your pictures and your ideas and make them into a floor plan that can be built.
The manufacturer will work with you through the entire process. They will help you choose or create the perfect home. They can help choose your plot of land or if it is already chosen, they will help to get it ready for the new home. Financing, permits and home details they will also help with. They will work with you right up until move in day.
As modular homes are becoming more and more popular, manufacturers of modular homes are becoming more and more prominent in the process. Do your research, find a good reputable company and build the home of your dreams.
