Perhaps you should take a look at a growing segment of the housing industry ? modular homes. Many builders just like you have discovered that this option is the best way for them to build out properties to the greatest advantage for both the builder and the home buyers. Modular home building is one of the fastest growing markets in the building industry, and for good reasons.
What many builders already know and what many more are learning is that there are great advantages in the modular home building market. Cost, efficiency, and quality are just the beginning.
Modular homes are built in climate-controlled factories where the builder is not a slave to the weather. Delays caused from undesirable weather conditions cost builders thousands of dollars each year. With a modular home, there are no delays to deal with. A home can be built from start to site-finished in less than 90 days. This saves both time and money, transferring more profits to the builder and greater savings to the home buyer. And, because of the climate-controlled environments, builders can make quality-built homes available to their customers year round.
Not only can a builder save on time when building a modular home, but he can also save on materials. Modular homes are built from the same quality materials as traditionally built homes, yet the builders can buy their materials in bulk, which means a great savings for the builder. This applies to all of the supplies for not only the exterior of the home, but also the interior features and appliances.
Saving on time and money are not the only advantages of modular home building. A builder also has the advantage of having all of his workers ? from technicians to craftsmen ? working under the same supervision. This brings a greater consistency to the quality of the work, as well as peace of mind for both the builder and the buyer.
We have discussed the cost-savings advantages for the builder-developer in this article. Please read Part 2 of this series for more advantages of modular home building.
