MODULAR BUILDING BENEFIT SERIES – POST 3

CONTROLLED COST

Another benefit of building a modular home is the cost is far more controlled when compared to a traditional onsite home. With your home being constructed in a factory, we are able to ensure trades, materials and labour are controlled and managed far more efficiently. This, in turn, means that we are able to offer our clients 100% fixed-price contracts with little or no variations!

“Through the lean manufacturing principles which we adhere to in the factory, you are able to be certain that you will be getting the very best value for money with your new home.”

Of course, this does not necessarily mean that your home will be cheaper than other options – in fact, it is a very popular misconception that a modular or offsite built home is cheaper to build than a traditional site built home. In many cases, this is not true. But, what you can be assured of is that relocatable homes will offer you very good value for money and a controlled construction process leading to fewer cost blow-outs and sudden surprises.

It’s important to note that despite popular misconception, banks will lend to relocatable home builders. They’re a permanent fixture that is built to the same building codes as conventional homes, and subject to the same taxes and insurance premiums. See our Finance page for more details.
