Types of Modular Homes You Can Build With Modular Construction
Consider using different types of modular homes on your next project to save time and money. From duplexes to multi-unit building complexes, constructing with modules can be an effective way to make your projects successful. Compared to site built construction, modular construction offers many benefits, such as lower total cost of construction, faster building process, high quality dwelling, and increased durability and efficiency.
Advancements in modular construction have come a long way. Modular home construction is now a viable and competitive option for many uses, including developing. In some situations, it is perfectly suited for development projects. Working with modules (modular sections) makes the building process much more predictable, and, because of this, helps to keep your project on time and on budget.
Green Modular Homes
“Green” is one of those words that mean different things to different people, but whatever your definition of “green” a modular home will be very green. Many green concepts come standard with modular homes, others are offered as upgrades, and others are simply choices in building materials. Because of their inherent efficiency, and cost effective upgrades, modular homes are ahead of stick built homes when it comes to green building.
Prices of stick built homes, as well as modular homes, vary wildly. Custom design, materials used, and the level of detailed finishes are some factors in pricing variations. However, in general, a green modular home can save you 10%- 30% on a comparable stick- built home. In addition to savings on initial cost, a modular home saves you money over time. Low energy costs, low maintenance costs, and a high resale value reduce the overall life cycle costs of your home.
Multi- Family Modular Homes
Modular home builders have come up with new guideline in modular construction and that is to create multi- family modular homes. This type of dwelling answers the issues on home and land ownership of many families. Multi- family modular homes are further divided to different classifications. These homes are namely called the duplexes, triplexes, town houses and apartments.
Vacation Modular Homes
From a chalet by the ski slopes, to a bungalow by the beach, or a luxury condo by the golf course, modules can be used to build a vacation home just about anywhere. Whether it is a second home, a vacation modular home, or a vacation rental property, modular construction makes the process quicker, more predictable, and more affordable. Vacation modular homes can be built in a wide variety of styles and designs.
If you are thinking of building a vacation modular home in a remote location, or on an island, where building materials and labor are hard to come by, modular technology could be a great fit for your project. You will still need to get a builder to contract your on-site work, but the amount of time, travel, and labor costs will be significantly reduced.
