How does the cost of a Modular home compare with a stick-built home?
Modular homes traditionally are less expensive than a similar stick-built home when you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the modular process. You will also enjoy yearly savings as the built-in energy efficiency of your Modular home keeps heating and air conditioning bills lower. It is difficult to provide a cost estimate due to changing prices of material and labor, the style and size of home, the options chosen, and a number of other factors. However, as a very rough rule of thumb you might consider a price range for a Modular of $80 to $95 per square foot, whereas the stick-built is like to be approximately $110 to $125 per square foot (not including the price of land.) Keep in mind these costs are estimates only – actual costs for Modular homes vary depending on the type of home and features you select, and stick built costs will vary depending on the type of home, the builder, and other factors.
