Developers in Europe are increasingly interested in acquiring modular factories. But do they truly understand what it entails?
Owning a factory sounds amazing, but ensuring consistent utilization of all production lines without interruptions is challenging!
Some developers view production as a way to build faster, more eco-friendly, and possibly cheaper homes...
What many overlook during the peak of their growth is the problem of housing market decline. A modular home production solely serving their own development projects will likely face this issue and may incur losses.
If you have extra millions but lack insight into how the mechanism works, it's better to focus on what you excel at—building new homes, perhaps even modular ones, collaborating with existing factories.
Most likely, this approach will bring you more profit and joy.
But if you still choose to become a developer-manufacturer, you must master architecture, design, engineering, land acquisition, project management, contractors, and finally—your own factory!
Only after all that can you begin optimizing your projects for modular buildings.
The ideal synergy in real estate project development involves a partnership between the developer-manufacturer and an architectural firm, where the developer almost sees themselves as the project owner and to some extent, a module producer, without compromising either production or development, and the product evolves remarkably.
