Hey�CGuys:
I would like to contract a modular home for me and my wife.There are several advantages of modular home.
1, The prices generally run about 15% to 20% lower than other types of houses.
2, They are most likely to be more energy efficient than its traditional neighbors, because they are built in a controlled environment, produce less waste, and are assembled faster.
3, The best thing about modular homes is that you will have much more architectural freedom because they are built to local codes.
And how can I begin?Do you have any advise?

1. We found that our modular home did run significantly less than the site built plan would have been, but I think 15% to 20% may be a little on the high side.

2. You can't get any greener than a modular home. There is very little waste produced at the factory. Every scrap is used. The ultimate homeowner energy consumption will be obviously based on the materials used and not a specific construction style.

3. If you chose to exercise your "architectural freedom",
like we did at first, we found that the price of the home went up and the value went down.

With our construction project, we kept it simple and worked within the manufacturers (North American Housing Corp) catalog and standard options. We ended up with more house for our money than if we had made a lot of changes.

Find a good contractor in your area who is familiar with modular construction and has a working relationship with the manufacturer you like. Get your financing arranged, set a budget, and talk to builders! Most importantly, LOOK AT THE HOMES that are set and ready to move into. Many manufacturers build to the lowest construction standands they can and still meet code. They cover up their shotty workmanship with curtains, fancy flooring and overdone kitchens and baths in their models that no one really buys!

Building a house can be fun! Enjoy!

We had a great time building our home and would do it again!

I have been building homes for over 10 years. Stick homes built on site were where I started. 4 years ago I became involved with stick built modular homes. Please note that a stick built modular home is NOT a manufactured home. A stick built modular home is built using higher quality material than the typical custom site built home. My expert advice is to stay away from manufactured homes and only buy a modular home from a modular home supplier that builds thier homes by hand, using only the highest quality materials, in a controlled and enclosed environment.



There is a stigma associated with modular homes that is mostly based on confusion. The mobile home is NOT a stick built modular home.



When buying a modular home be certain of the following;

1)The builder is reputable and willing to answer all of your questions.

2)The home comes with a warranty.

3)The modular home building plant has been visited and verified by the experienced builder as being of the highest quality in workmanship.

4)The home will be crane set on a permanent foundation.
