Why should I consider a modular builder over an onsite builder?

So, why should I consider a modular home over an onsite built home? Great question!

There are several reasons why a modular house is a viable consideration for many people. In saying this, we're not all things to all people. Modular construction works for several reasons. First, these types of homes are quick to build. Second, it's a smooth building process. And third, we can 100% guarantee a fixed price.

But let's look at all of this in some more detail. 

It doesn't get any quicker than modular

Modular construction is, in most cases, the quickest way to get your new home built. The houses are constructed in a factory environment where weather and contractor availability have minimal impact on the building timeline.

Modular construction is an easy and straightforward process

Easy? You bet! We believe in making building easy for our clients. If you’ve built an on-site constructed house before, you will have experienced the frustration and hassle associated with making decisions while the build is ongoing.

And not only is it a pain in the neck, but it also slows down the build process. Well, with modular homes – you don’t have to worry about that – we get everything sorted before any construction work even starts in our factory.

Enjoy high-level inclusions and excellent build quality

Aren’t modular homes just cheap donga’s? Nope!

Westbuilt modular homes are a viable, cost-effective and hassle-free alternative to an onsite build. Plus, they’re of excellent quality. That same factory building process that allows us to build quickly and easily also enable us to complete your home to a high level of quality, fit and finish. 

What about pricing?

As we’ve mentioned above, modular homes are not just some "cheap" shacks. In fact, you will find that a high-volume project home builder, with an off-the-shelf plan and fixed inclusions, will easily beat out a modular builder on price.

Let’s face it, it’s mostly about price, isn’t it? If modular building isn’t cheaper than onsite construction, then what’s the point? Fair enough – if price is your only consideration then modular construction probably isn't right for you.

But, what we can say is that if you are looking for a reputable builder to construct a unique, custom-designed home on your very own acreage block then it’s definitely worth your time to investigate modular construction more.
