Discover Custom Built Modular Homes Fayetteville NC

By Catalina Nielsen


If you want variety and customization, consider modular homes Fayetteville NC. These are not cookie cutter homes. Interior and exterior can be customized. Design can be Colonial, Cape Cod, Mediterranean, suburban, or any other design of your choosing. Build a 1, 2, or 3 story home. Build on a solid foundation or build over a basement.

There are as many choices with this type of housing as with a site built home. Choose style and placement of windows and doors. Choose any type of exterior, even brick or stone. Choose any combination of carpet, tile, and hardwood floors. Choose the style and placement of electrical and plumbing fixtures. Choose a standard floor plan then move a wall or two to create that special great room or extra large office. Most manufacturers have design experts to help you with the details.

Because modules are built at the factory while the foundation is prepared, this type of housing can be completed in 1/3 the time of a typical site built house. There's no weather caused delays at the factory. Modular homes must meet all local building codes. Hire a local contractor familiar with local building codes to supervise the final construction.

Price quotes are more reliable when building modular housing. There aren't as many variables. Less cost overruns from weather related delays or scheduling delays waiting for subcontractors. The interest rate on construction financing is less because the term of the loan is shorter. Manufacturers purchase materials in bulk quantities. Customization adds to the cost but rarely will your customized home cost more than a site built home.

It's a common misconception that modular = mobile. The only similarity is they're built in a factory. Modular housing is required by law to meet standard housing codes. Mobile homes are not. Modules are easy to improve, upgrade, and expand. They appreciate in value. They're transported as modules, then bolted to a permanent foundation. Mobile homes (trailers) are built as a single unit and placed on wheels for transportation.

Modules are precision built in factories, then placed on flatbed trucks for transportation to the building site. They must be sturdily built for transportation. They're usually built with 20-30% more materials than the typical stick built home. At the building site modules are bolted and sealed and connected to local utilities.

If you want to go green, factory built housing is the way to go. There's less waste and more recycling. Walls and ceilings are cut with factory precision, tightly sealed to create an energy efficient home. Wood doesn't sit outside where it can get wet and grow mold. Modules are built with sturdy 2x6's allowing space for extra wall insulation.

A beautiful and sturdy home can be built utilizing standard floor plans. This will definitely cost less than any site built home. Customization options add to the price but this still remains a very cost effective method of designing and building one's dream home. Most manufacturers offer some level of customization and professional design advice.

Modular homes Fayetteville NC cost less to build. They take less time to build. They're eco-friendly and energy efficient. They're considered the same as a site built home for purposes of financing, insurance, and taxation. They appraise and appreciate in value at the same rate as surrounding stick built housing. Research pricing, quality, and customization options before choosing a manufacturer.
