Many homeowners envision a personalized, tailor-made home but prefer to avoid the extensive investment of time and money ᴀssociated with overseeing architects, engineers, and construction workers typically involved in the home-building process.

Modular homes and prefab homes are a great alternative to a traditional design-and-build home. They’re cost-effective and can save you lots of time (and headaches).

A modular home is one that is built indoors in a factory-like setting. The finished products are covered and transported to their new locations, where a builder ᴀssembles them.

A modular home is not a mobile home; it’s simply a home that is built off-site. These homes are often called factory-built, system-built, or prefab homes (short for prefabricated).

Because modular homes are built indoors, they can be completed in a matter of weeks, as opposed to months. They don’t see the typical on-site delays caused predominantly by the weather.

Modular homes must conform to specific rules, guidelines, and building codes that often surpᴀss those of traditional on-site homes.

When considering a modular home, make sure to shop around, as not all companies that make factory-built homes are alike. There can be significant differences in quality, price, and service. As with purchasing or building any home, you must do your research.
