Steps to Build a Modular Home in California
Check out our FAQ page read more in-depth answers to the most commonly asked questions about modular homes.
Step 1:
Secure Land
Having a property is usually the first step in building your dream home.
Without land, it is hard to choose a home model or determine what the balance of your budget for building is.
Step 2:
Modular Feasibility Study
This is where one of us comes out to meet you at the property and determine what size modules can be delivered.
There is a fee for this service but it’s a credit on the price of the home.
Step 3:
Choose Home Model
We now know what size modules can be delivered. You can choose a home model that meets your requirements. Start with the smallest one you will consider and work your way up to your dream home.
