Modular homes are a great alternative to traditional on-site new home construction. Because most of the initial construction work is done in an off-site, climate-controlled factory using an engineered approach to building, these systems built houses offer a more efficient and cost-effective method for building your dream home. After individual, custom-designed modules are created by the manufacturer, they are transported to the building site. A local builder applies the finishing touches after joining the sections together using the same methods and standards used for stick-built houses. The result is that beautiful one- and two-story modular homes can be purchased at significantly lower cost per square foot.
Modular homes match the quality and appearance of traditional stick-built houses. This is not boring prefab housing with no curb appeal. Modular construction offers a wide range of custom-designed floor plans that can deliver your family its custom luxury house. Our free online consumer guide is here to help you understand the pros and cons of modular construction, help you review home builders and show you some of the thousands of customizable floor plans you can pick for your dream house.
Modular Homes are Not Mobile Homes
Modular homes have no design limitations. Your manufacturer and local builder can work together to create any dream house you want. The key difference between prefab homes and traditional houses is that modular houses start out as individual sections that are constructed in a factory. The finished section are transported to your selected building site and then assembled together using giant cranes. The assembly process looks a little like building with Lego blocks but the construction standards are obviously a lot higher. Modular homes are built on foundations and cannot be moved after they are set on their foundation. These prefab houses can be any shape or size and will meet or exceed your local and state building codes. Once they are fully constructed, they are just as strong and attractive as any building constructed with traditional methods.
On the other hand, mobile homes or manufactured homes are built according to the federal HUD Building Code. This requires all mobile houses to be built on a non-removable steel chassis that severely limits their design options. Mobile houses can be moved from one site to another. Manufactured houses are not built on permanent foundations. These homes can have any feature a traditionally built house enjoys. You can have glass sunrooms, extra tall ceilings, warm fireplaces and anything else you can dream up for your custom floor plan. Even with customized plans, you will save time and save money with modular construction.
Prefabricated modular homes allow you to afford the home that has all the options you want. You can have a basement, multiple levels, extra bedrooms, increased energy efficiency and additional insulation in your luxury home. Modular builders allow you to select different custom options so you can have the floor plan of your dreams. You can now enjoy your dream home at a lower price – made possible by the efficiency of prefab construction.
Modular construction projects continue to become more common as homebuyers learn more about them and better understand the construction process. Using streamlined production process it delivers higher efficiency and a higher quality house. The prefab construction speed is faster than on-site construction since manufacturers build your house inside a factory and weather cannot cause delays. Weather delays in site-built construction can greatly increase labor costs. Home buyers also don’t get stuck with the tab for wasted building materials exposed to wind, rain, snow and general rot at the building site of old fashioned construction.

Custom Appearance Like Any Traditional Home
Modular housing looks just like traditionally built homes. The big difference is that these prefab homes are pre-built in factories and assembled on-site. This process provides time savings since construction on the modular building can begin in the factory while the site preparation work is being done (leveling of ground, laying foundation, etc.) and weather delays don’t slow down the factory construction. Don’t take our word on the beauty of these houses. Explore our gallery of modular home floor plans highlighting hundreds of prefab home plans from builders across the construction industry.
