Imagine, for a moment, that you are deciding to build a new house designed around your growing family, maybe even adding a mother-in-law suite as a cost-effective way of accommodating your aging parent. Maybe you're toying with the idea of adding on a home office so you can work from home, not only to save yourself from the ever-increasing costs for fuel, office attire, and dine-out lunching, but to be nearer to your loved ones. Think it's a ridiculous idea during the current housing crunch?
Well, besides enjoying the aforementioned savings, you can save even more money on your new house by going modular if your home will be a over 1,000 square feet in size and customizing your own layout is an important part of your ideal home. You'll also save a tremendous amount of time by perusing the catalogs at http://PrefabExpo.com. Entering the Zip code of your planned building location will provide you with ever brand of modular home that's available to your specific area. Now, let's explore even more savings!:
Your new modular home is constructed indoors, fully-protected from the damages and the costly overruns which vandalism, theft and inclement weather might cause.
Your new home is erected in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional on-site-built home. Moreover, at the same time that your house is constructed at the factory, your General Contractor sets your future home's foundation on your property.
Waste from the construction of your modular home is much less than waste generated at the construction site of a site-built home. So, you don't end up picking up the tab for large dumpsters of materials that never quite make it into your building.
You realize further savings, since your manufacturer is able to obtain discounts from their material suppliers - discounts not available to most one-off home-builders. Skilled tradesmen assemble your home at the factory under ideal conditions and for less than it would cost you for on-site labor.
Your modular home is built to the same building code as is any on-site-built house, except stronger, as it must now make the journey to your waiting foundation!
