Due to the worsening home affordability issue, most families who would like to get a home of their own are now faced with tremendous price hikes. But because of resourcefulness and the sheer innovativeness of talented people, one’s dream of owning a home despite of the current house price explosion, is not yet over.
These days, modular homes, also known as “off-site construction” are getting highly popular. Although not yet widely accepted, as it is still mistakenly associated with mobile homes which are of lesser quality, modular homes are more budget-friendly than site-constructed houses or stick-built houses. Also, studies show that these modular homes are more reliable than site-constructed houses because builders would usually replace nails with screws. Added to that, glues are used to seal the surfaces for the modules to be able to weather possibly long transportation. Furthermore, in some areas where typhoons and tornados are commonly experienced, the study conducted by experts show that modular homes fared best compared to other constructions.
Even more commendable is the fact that modular homes, unlike site-constructed homes, can be finished inside the remote facility in just a matter of weeks and can be hauled to the site and can be fully assembled in as short a time as twelve weeks. And because these homes are modular, which fragments are built in an off-site facility, they are priced much lower than site-constructed homes.
The cost-effectiveness of these modular homes are made possible by factors, such as: a. expeditious manufacturing which creates faster return on investment; b. indoor construction makes it free from weather inconveniences; c. large-scale builders can negotiate better prices with suppliers, thus the materials used become more affordable, ultimately benefiting the homeowner; d. lower waste of materials as the builders, through calculation, estimation and construction, have already pre-evaluated the actual number of materials to be used for a specific project.
If these advantages are not enough to convince you, perhaps the idea that modular home builders can actually build houses according to different house plans, home design and other specifications directed by the buyer, would now win you over.
If you are now smiling and quite convinced with the advantages of buying pre-fabricated homes, you now have to get an architect sketch the design and house plan according to your taste, description and specifications. If that is completed, have a few home builders quote on your house plan. That way, you would be able to find the best prices for your future home.
Because of the availability of these cost-efficient modular homes, the housing crisis brought about by the housing policy of Kevin Rudd will not anymore hinder you and your family’s dream of getting a home of your very own.
