Modular Home Manufacturers - There To Help

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.

With modular homes increasing in sales, manufacturers of modular homes are making the process easier. They are playing a more important role in the whole process from start to finish.

There are modular home manufacturers all over the country. A quick search on the internet will bring up all sorts of manufacturers from across the country and locally. When choosing one, look for an authorized dealer. They are the best in their field.

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.

Manufacturers will help you choose the home, choose the land where you would like the home to be, and help you with financing. They will also help you in the process to get your home ordered, obtaining all necessary permits, and finalizing all the details up until moving day.

Modular homes are the newest thing in the housing industry. Be sure to do your research when choosing the company you want to work with. Doing so will help make the process much smoother and they will help you from start to finish so you can enjoy your new home.
