My cousin bought a brand new modular home back in the 70's. She got a split entry. When they moved back to MA they built a stick built home. She had more issues with the stick built home. I don't remember all the issues but leaks was a big one.

Well you have to know what your'e doing to begin with with. My sons, all 4 build homes and never ran io any problems. Not even the very first one. Key word here RESEARCH ........... STUDY

Fortunately with my modular build, the price was fixed from the start. No change orders! The builder did everything. No outside contractor to do site installation. The typical stick built takes three years plus some in my area. My mod SIP construction took 34 days on site. It took the utility company four months to turn on the power after CofO was issued.

You are not kidding about putting in enough electrical outlets! We bought an older home and it has a very limited number of outlets... It can be quite a challenge when cleaning, cooking, and working from home. Thanks for another informative video!

I watch your videos because I am a HYBRID modular builder. This process takes a more practical approach that provides the best of both traditional, on site and modular builds, while reducing the negatives of each. It can be done.

Why? Concrete is cold and vulnerable to moisture and mold and trying to match any cracks or chips would be very difficult.

I have a 3Bd 2ba 2 car garage modular bolted on a perimeter permanent concrete foundation. You would never know by looking it was a modular. If your permanently bolted to a cement foundation and of course if you can qualify you get normal financing/loans I have an FHA loan with regular inspections etc the process is the same as when I bought my first home which was not a modular. I always said I’d never buy a “trailer” but you don’t know what you don’t know.

In California they have Commercial & Residential Construction. In Commercial they have, The Developer, & he hires The Coordinator [ i.e. a Project Mgr. ], and then The Superintendent, The General Foreman, and after that The Foremen and finally the ' rank & file Tradesmen. Residential is probably identical. / In an Owner builder project The Owner Manages And Builds everything, except for sub contracting out some Specialty Trades ( i.e. Pluming, Electrical, excetra ).

Love your channel, Kristina! We live in the Austin area and are looking for a modular company. I heard your comment about the company here that was fined. I expect you can't tell me which company that was, so is my only alternative to continue my research and read comments on the companies? Or is there a ranking list of modular companies? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!!

I love the versatility of modular homes however many of them are NOT built in the same quality as a typical stick built home. Unfortunately the downside usually is that $$$ is king and no one builds to benefit anyone other than themselves or the housing “crisis” would already be solved. 👍

I don't think you're right about being, your own General contractor, you absolutely can. House is set by a setting Crew you hire or its part of the package, and after setting, a GC or a Homeowner can complete the particulars required to complete the build. Hiring his own specific Trades to tie them all together. And if you live in the Northeast Custom Modulars Manufacturers beat the high cost of labor locally by 20%.

@virginiamoss7045 6 ай бұрын

It seems the only reason for modular is time and time is money, borrowed money interest. I own my paid-off house on 5 acres. I want to downsize to a small house on an acre or two, but I do not want to do that sell-house-move-instantly-to-the-new-house chaos and I don't want to move twice. I want to take my time moving into the new house, then put my house on the market, but during that time I must borrow money to make the new land and house happen during which interest is being charged. As soon as the old house sells, I'll pay off the construction loan and the home equity loan on the land. So I need it all to happen very quickly for it to make sense; I suspect it will all cost as much as the large house sells for given inflation.

it's a trailer house build to trailer house building codes. if they tried the shortcuts on a stick build home that they get away with it on these trailer houses, the building inspector would condemn the whole thing. if it's delivered on a trailer, it's a trailer house.
