5 Ways You Can Design Your Modular Home

Designing and building a modular home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your life, so getting everything right is super important. You have to make sure that the design works for you, not only so that you’ll enjoy the living space every day, but also so that you won’t regret any choices later on down the track. 

Ensuring that you love your new home for all the years to come starts with choosing the right plans for your needs and your lifestyle. With that in mind, here are five different ways to design a modular home for you to consider.

1 – Choose an off the plan design

Buying a modular home directly off the plan means picking an existing design and forgoing any variations. You'll need to carefully inspect the plans and decide whether the layout ticks all of your must have boxes. 

Each modular home plan will come with certain specific features such as fixtures, flooring, rooms, and windows. Some plans can be pretty basic, while others will include a range of extras from marble countertops, oak decking, and specific brand name appliances.

Westbuilt offers a wide range of off the plan designs to choose from for those wanting to make their building experience super simple and streamlined.

2 – Customise an existing design

When browsing off the plan designs, you may find one that's almost perfect, but just needs a couple of changes to make it completely perfect for you. The good news for you is that all of our modular home designs are completely customisable, so you can tweak any little detail you like.

From external to internal wall finishes, roof shape to floor coverings, and benchtops to paint colours, everything can be modified and changed to meet your individual requirements. Not only do we have a wide range of options for each plan, you certainly don’t need to be limited by these choices. You’re welcome to supply your own fixtures or appliances for inclusion if that suits you better.

3 – Combine multiple plans to create one

You should look at all of our plans merely as suggestions to give you an idea of what designs are possible with our modular homes. Once you understand this, you can choose elements and features from 3, 4, 5, or more plans that work well for you and combine them in order to create one single plan - your dream home!

While this option will take a little more time to finalise, you can very be certain that your new Westbuilt modular home will be perfect for your exact requirements.

4 – Work with our team to create a custom design

Not really in love with any of our existing designs? That's OK! Let us custom create something for you instead. 

We understand that everyone has their own requirements, which is why we truly offer complete flexibility with our designs and have our own full time, fully qualified, and highly experienced residential designer. We can work together with you to create a unique modular home that has been designed and built just for you and inspired by you.

5 – Design your own plans

We can create completely unique modular homes from custom designed plans, so get out the pen and paper or open Microsoft Paint and design your own from scratch. The plan layouts, designs, and finishes on our website can be used to provide you with some inspiration, but you can also choose everything yourself.

And not just regarding finishes and styles and designs, but everything you can possibly dream of. Want an indoor rock-climbing wall in the lounge? Sure! Want a TV on every wall? Why not! How about a jungle gym and slide in the kid’s bedroom? That’s a great idea! No matter what crazy idea you have, we can construct your modular home exactly as you want it.
