    25 years ago my brother had a modular home built. The issue with the delivery was the terrain. Because the ground in their plot was corrugated fill had to be brought in to level the road a bit. The existing driveway had to be straightened out a bit. If that had not worked they would have had to get a helicopter to lift the house onto the foundation.

      Proper planning is essential. It saves a lot of time and money. However, many people don't know how to plan. Sometimes, even professionals screw up.

      It has headaches, usually the guys on the workshop floor building the thing need to go moan at the designer as the timber supplied doesnt always meet what was ordered and a solution needs to be found.
      Thats what i found at my previous timber frame factory.

    This is essentially the kind of thing I'm highly likely to get. The biggest is 7 bedrooms with a HUGE dining area and is bought in on 5 lorries. I might as well go for the biggest one. But it'll easily be thev3 bedroom with giant lounge room.

    A year ago I renovated my very large kitchen with ikea cabinetry . It cost me USD7000
    Seriously for the cost, the speed and convenience i am 98% satisfied.
    No saggy kitchen cabinets. Inserts that fit. Moving parts are Blum(sp?). 10 year warranty.
    As I told my family - at USD7k we could use it for 10 years then rip it out and replace with a new one.
    Same concept. Build it in a factory then install.
    If I ever build a house I would do what this couple did.

      Yes your right , he always seems very keen on these timber houses but of course the cladding will need changing in 25 years or so because it will be rotten, and there's always a danger of wet and dry rot . A brick built house can last for centuries!

      My HA have used a company that make modular homes, about 6 years ago as I was on the tenants engagement team they took me to the factory and I saw the whole process and visited one of the homes on site, as it was a trial so I don't know how many they have now and how they're doing as I'm not on the team anymore. Once foundations where down the took about 1 to 2 weeks to be ready for tenants. Makes a lot of sense no delays in the build due to bad weather, less disturance to other local residents etc. I was impressed but we wait to see what the lifespan is for these new homes.
