\"Multi-<\/a>Here are the basic steps involved in the multi- family modular home construction process;<\/p>\n

Choose the Floor Plan and Customize it<\/h3>\n

The first thing to do when you are building a modular multi-family home is to choose a floor plan.\u00a0 There are options for you to consider in making your design choices.\u00a0 You can choose from a selection of stock floor plans on this site.<\/p>\n

You can also have an existing plan modified to meet your needs.\u00a0 If you already have plans, you can have your plans modified to be modular friendly.\u00a0 There is also the option to go with a completely custom design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look for a Modular Home Builder or General Contractor<\/h3>\n

A modular home builder or general contractor<\/strong> will be very helpful for your project.\u00a0General contractor is usually an engineer who will design and stamp on-site structural work such as foundations and any major site built add ons.\u00a0There will also be a modular home contractor that design and draw building plans for the modules.\u00a0 You will need to pay a fee at the beginning of the multi- family modular home construction process.<\/p>\n

Getting the Building Permit<\/h4>\n

Most of the building permitting process for a modular home<\/a>\u00a0is the same as it is for a stick built one.\u00a0 The biggest difference is that you will be given a set of stamped plans from the manufacturer or from your manufacturer through your multi- family modular home<\/a> builder.\u00a0 These stamped plans include all the specifications for the modules, and will include all information about the modules relevant to the states building code.\u00a0You submit these stamped plans to the building department with your other permit application paperwork.<\/p>\n

Order Modules for the Multi- Family Modular Home<\/h3>\n

Your multi- family modular home<\/strong> builder will present you with a contract and detailed information about what he will be doing and how much it will all cost.\u00a0 Carefully review the contract, the final plans, and all of the specifications of the multi- family modular home.\u00a0 Make sure you have a clear understanding of everything that is included and what is not included.\u00a0 If everything is in order, you will need to sign the contract and pay a deposit to the builder.\u00a0 Once you have signed the contract and paid the deposit, the builder will place your order.<\/p>\n

Site Work<\/h3>\n

Once you have everything in place, you can schedule the site work.\u00a0 The site work can get started while your modules are being constructed.\u00a0 This is one of the biggest advantages to modular home<\/strong> construction.\u00a0 When stick building, you have to wait until the land is cleared and graded and the foundation completed before you can start to construct the building.\u00a0 With multi- family modular home construction you can do parallel construction; they can be done at the same time, saving you weeks or months on the length of the project.<\/p>\n

This is when the modular units are delivered to the site, set on the foundation by cranes, and tied together.\u00a0 A specialized crew, known as a set crew, who is certified by the manufacturer, should do the set up.\u00a0 You may be required to have a piece of heavy equipment on site to assist in positioning the modular units to be lifted by the crane.<\/p>\n

Finishing\u00a0 the Multi- Family Modular Home<\/h3>\n

Once the modules have been set, tied together, and connected to the foundation, your multi- family modular home builder or subcontractors<\/strong><\/em><\/a> will do the wrap-up and any additional finish work needed.\u00a0 The wrap-up includes patching the interior where the sections have been joined, and filling-in exterior siding.\u00a0 The post- construction work may also include porches, decks, garages, chimneys, and any other finish work left for your builder.\u00a0 The HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc., will need to be connected.\u00a0 When all of these are completed, you will need to get all of your final inspections and a certificate of occupancy.\u00a0 Then all that\u2019s left to do is cleaning up and landscaping.<\/p>\n
