Why Are Modular Home Prices So Cheap?

With modular homes now accounting for over twenty five percent of all family houses sold, this particular are of the industry is coping well despite the global difficulties experienced across the wider home building industry. Benefits of this way of home building are many, though high on this list are the relatively low modular home prices.

As the name would suggest, modular homes are constructed in modules. This is competed in an assembly line environment; more associated with auto building and the like. It is an efficient way of working; just ask Ford, and drives costs down. It also reduces the amount of delays, as there is no reliance on the weather, which again, results in lower modular home prices.

Despite the prices being kept affordable, there are no shortcomings in the quality of the product; indeed, it could well be argued that the final product is better than that of conventional builds. They are constructed in a controlled environment of course.

When the modules of each home are delivered to the build site, they undergo a thorough examination for quality control purposes. These are carried out both by the company building the home, but also by state and industry officials. There are also regular spot checks made throughout the final delivery.

Such is the flexibility of the build process too, clients are able to customize their homes right from the beginning. Whilst a basic cost will of course rise with such changes, this again keeps modular home prices down relative to their traditional cousins; no matter whether a feature fireplace, kitchen island, or glass staircase is required.

The benefits continue from here too. The speed of the build as already discussed is faster, because of the process, and an entire home can be conceived, planned, delivered and built in as little as eight weeks; though fourteen is the agreed average.

Modular home prices themselves will also be spread across a range, depending on what is required. However, as a rule they will cost somewhere between ten and fifteen percent less than a conventional build, and the final cost will not suddenly change due to the way in which the build process is managed more effectively.

It is clear to see quite why and how modular home prices remain affordable then, but the money saving aspect of them continues long after the build. They tend to be far better insulated than conventional builds, and are a lot less wasteful in their use of energy and air circulation. Resultantly, costs of running a modular home are kept down, and could just help to save the world a little bit.
