Investing in a home is one of the biggest decisions that you’ll ever make. Your home is the place that you’ll grow your family in, make memories, and work to make your life dreams come true. Therefore, when choosing a home you want to make sure that you choose a place that suites your needs. When it comes to choosing a home, there are two types that you can choose from – a traditional site built vs modular home building. These two options certain are both great, but if you are looking for the more advantageous option, then consider a modular home. For many people, there are dozens of advantages that are far more worthwhile.
More Savings and a Fixed Price
Unlike building a traditional home that can be costly and have a constantly fluctuating price, a modular home, according to HGTV, cost on average 10% – 15% less. In addition to this, when you build a traditional home, it is very common to change your mind about upgrades and deal with surprise costs during the building process. On the other hand, a modular home’s price is fixed before it is built. This means that there are no surprises and you save more for other expenditures.
Your Dream can Begin Sooner
Modular homes are not mobile homes, they are simply built in an on-site factory setting to your own designations and desires. The way modular homes are built has a great advantage, which is that modular homes can be built much quicker and more efficiently than traditional homes. On average, modular homes are built in a few short weeks compared to years with traditional homes. To add to this, you also benefit from the added costs of on-site construction. So, not only can you begin your life in your dream home sooner, but you also cut the costs of onsite construction.
No Compromising on Quality
Building a modular home does not mean that you need to compromise on quality. Modular homes are built with the same materials that a traditional home is built with. You still have the sheet rock walls, shingles, insulation, and even custom features like granite countertops, high ceilings, and the kitchen that you’ve always dreamt of. The quality of your modular home will be exactly the same as any home built on-site. Furthermore, modular homes look exactly like traditional homes. If you ever do choose to sell your modular home, it has a real value and is considered to be “real property.”
Modular Homes as a Greener Option
When a modular home is built in a factory, you are reducing the environmental impact that can occur with an onsite built home. This means that not only are you choosing a structure that is better priced, quicker to build, customizable, and has superb quality, but you are also choosing a structure that has very little environmental impact.
Summary
Overall, modular homes are an excellent option for many homebuyers that would like to start their life in their home sooner and at a reduced cost. When it comes to traditional home building vs modular home building, there are dozens of styles that you can choose from to customize it just the way you would like it. There is no compromise here, just winnings.
