A modular home features structural pieces that are built within a factory. Instead of using site-building, these homes involve a structural foundation that's delivered to the site and molds together. They can provide you with the opportunity to work with a preset home plan or design of your own. This process virtually erases the need for an architect to draw you up a home plan with longer build times and decisions along the way.
Build Your Dream Home
How long does it take to build a modular home? Surprisingly, the process to fabricate and construct your modular home will take only 16 to 31 weeks. This timeline is dependent on the following factors:
Standard home plan vs. designed custom home
Timeline to obtain proper building permits
Preparation of the build site
Size of the home
Time it takes to create foundation/modules
Modular homes become move-in ready faster when you stick to standard plans, but that shouldn't discourage you from custom options. Site-building homes will still take longer - about 20 to 25 weeks. The following information includes a closer look at the modular home timeline:
Purchasing land and receiving permits: 6-9 Weeks
Designing the modular home: 0-2 Weeks
Preparation of land/site: 1 Week
Building foundation: 4 Weeks
Building modules: 1 Week
Transportation : 4 Weeks
Installing/setting modules: 4 Weeks
