Factory Direct Custom Modular Homes

Our customers sometimes ask how we can save them so much money on their homes. By enabling you to order direct from our modular home manufacturers all around the country, you can save up to one third on the cost of your new modular home .

The first thing to consider is that high-quality modular home construction is less expensive than high-quality on-site construction . This becomes clear when you think about the fact that the factory is able to reduce its costs through volume purchases of materials directly from the manufacturer ( eliminating middleman mark-ups ), lower assembly line wages, and a reduction in lost and damaged materials caused by on-site weather conditions, pilferage, and vandalism. Imagine what an automobile would cost if it were built from scratch in a mechanic's garage!

The only way a stick builder (stick building is another term for on-site construction) can match the cost of a modular home is by building with less expensive, inferior materials, by employing unskilled labor, or by paying for fewer man-hours. This of course results in inferior construction, craftsmanship, and service.

At Modular Homes America , we further reduce your expense with our Nationwide Modular Network ^SM. When you work with us, you will order your modular home direct from the factory.

By ordering your modular home factory direct, you're not only using a more advanced and less expensive method of construction, but you've also eliminated the mark up that is tacked on when you work with a local “authorized builder”.

The Traditional Way:

Most modular home manufacturers require consumers to order their homes through “authorized builders”. This distribution method is similar to the way automobile manufacturers operate.

For example, If you want a new car, you can't just call up the factory and place your order, you need to go to your local dealership. And, just like the dealer in the automobile industry, the modular home authorized builder makes a profit on each home they sell.

The difference is that in the car business, margins are typically fairly slim and are dictated by market forces. However, in the modular home market, your local builders make sure they know the finished market values and price your home to “magically" come close to the appraisal value. This is much like a good realtor would set the asking price on an existing home to what "the market will bear".

When you think about it, the cost of a modular home made in a factory should be priced the same whether it is being sold to a multi-millionaire living in Beverly Hills, or a regular consumer like you or me. But that's not the case. 

This means that in some "high rent" areas the builder is making more than the standard 20% GC fee and 10% incremental margin on materials and subcontractor labor.

When you order factory direct, you pay the fair cost for your home and don't pay more because of higher home prices in your area . That's why we introduced the Modular Homes America Nationwide Modular Network ^SM.
