Is Building my San Diego Home with Modular Construction Faster than On-Site Construction?
Do you prefer efficiency, quality control, and quick construction, with no delays due to weather? If yes, the decision is clear! There are many reasons home construction gets delayed with standard on-site construction, some unavoidable and some that can be prevented. Below are just a few examples of situations that could delay on-site construction, costing you a significant length of time and money.
Weather
The most common reason for building delays is weather. While the weather in San Diego is usually fair, and there isn’t much concern about freezing temperatures,
Drying Time
Another reason for schedule setbacks when building a home is the curing or drying process many materials need for on-site construction. Many materials, such as foundation and/or concrete basement walls, requires significant amounts of drying time before construction can continue.
Subcontractor No-Shows
It isnt unheard for subcontractors not to show up for work on home building sites. There are many often legitimate reasons as to why contractors may be no-shows, but this does cause a significant amount of delays in the process!
What are some of the costs incurred because of delays?
So what are some of the costs that are added when holdups, unavoidable or inevitable, happen during on-site house construction?
Interest Charges
If you took out a construction loan or any other kind of financing, for each and every day that gets delayed, interest is added to the loan. Since Manufactured homes are not subject to many delays, you will inevitably save on interest costs!
Insurance Costs
For on-site builds, subcontractors liability insurance is usually based on a prearranged time period. If this length of time gets extended because of delays, you will have to extend the insurance costs. Since prefab homes do not require on-site builds, the costs of insurance delays are significantly reduced!
Equipment Rental costs
For an on-site home build, you will have to rent portable toilets, equipment, etc. for the on-site workers. Every day that is added because of delays adds excess costs to the bottom line.
