Factors to consider when it comes to modular home prices in Perth
It goes without saying that the old adage ‘You get What You Pay For’ rings true when it comes to your home. And certainly when it comes to the price of modular homes. However, many people believe a faster construction time means lesser quality.
What your modular home build includes
The modular home price of just the build alone will of course be less than if all site preparation and services etc is included. Having all aspects of a build, from start to finish included can be more cost effective in the long run as your contractor can plan ahead, and be more efficient in terms of processes, use of materials etc. It also means that your builder has greater oversight over timelines minimising the chance of delays which can often contribute to budget blow outs or unexpected costs. Costs will also be impacted by whether you’re going with standard specs or premium specs too.
Site preparation required / Availability of Services
If you have a site that requires more ground work or services aren’t readily available (e.g. power not to the boundary or water tanks required) this is going to drive up your modular home price. At Timatanga Modular, all aspects of the build project are included, from start to finish including planning, permits and site works. A site inspection enables us to gain an understanding of what site preparation work needs to be done and what costs will be based on services availability. You will know exactly what the full modular home price will be. Choosing the right builder with the right experience will ensure no unexpected costs (often referred to as ‘variations’).
Transportation
Modular homes are built in purpose-built facilities and then transported to site. The distance and complexity of the transportation may impact your modular home price. Your modular home builder should include all costs involved with transportation prior to commencing the project.
The quality of materials and construction
Some modular home builders have a lower price point, but this is often due to using poorer quality materials. You get what you pay for. And whilst it may be tempting to go with a lower price, the longevity of your home, the ongoing maintenance costs, energy efficiency and comfort of your home will be impacted. It is important to have a home built with materials that can not only withstand the WA climate, but ensure your home is cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
All Timatanga Modular homes are built with the same materials as a traditional build - including steel stud frames, architectural external cladding, insulation and plaster board internal linings. Our homes are built to last. You get the same quality as a traditional build (if not better!), but we get you in your new home much much quicker.
