A significant number of people still hold onto stereotypes and myths about modular homes. Surprisingly, this includes architects who impose their perspectives on clients, often offering old block-based designs.
Let's attempt to debunk some of these outdated myths.
MYTH 1: Modular Homes = Cheap Homes
The idea of a "cheap" home is not appealing to most people. Unfortunately, many myths about modular homes suggest that they are a cheaper alternative to traditional frame houses and can't compete with stone houses.
First and foremost, modular homes are constructed using the same materials as frame homes. The difference lies in the fact that modular homes are built in a controlled factory environment, minimizing potential on-site mishaps and defects.
A significant advantage is the speed and quality control in the manufacturing process. It's this efficiency and process optimization that can make modular homes more cost-effective in some cases. However, they are by no means "cheap" homes.
On average, a modular home costs about 10-15% less than a traditionally built home. This means you can allocate those savings toward quality furniture or enhancing your home's architectural features.
Just like with any other home, the more features you add, the more the price will change. Modular homes can range from affordable to high-end, depending on specifications and design.
Modular homes possess the same integrity and value as any other homes, with slight variations in cost based on the home's specifications and architecture.
