1. Establish Your Budget

As with any shopping journey, starting from the top based on your budget is the wisest approach. prefab and modular farmhouses can be completely built for as low as $225 per square foot. However, land, land preparation, customizations, options, and more can increase the cost. Starting with your total budget and working backward can help make your project easier to manage and ensure success. 

Prefab and modular farmhouses can be financed through a variety of methods. However, it’s crucial to note that not all loan officers have expertise in this particular type of construction. For a smoother financing process, working with a loan officer who specializes in construction mortages of this nature.

Important Notes

  • Begin the budget with your most essential features (absolute must haves such as land, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc)
  • Next, plan on features you want to have but aren’t absolutely necessity
  • Finishes such as appliances, flooring, and some other items can be upgraded later if you’re on a tight budget.
  • Be mindful of expense creep! It’s possible to overspend if you’re not careful.

2. Select Your Land

If you don’t already have land, now is the time to get it. Once the land is selected, conduct your due diligence during escrow before you fully buy the land. Some land may have building restrictions. Determine the budget allocations for developing the specific parcel. Selecting land with flat terrain and stable soils will help keep the costs low.

Things to Consider

  • Not all land is equal some land may be less but cost more to build upon
  • Review your total budget to include the cost of preparing your land
  • Request enough time to draft your building plans and meet with the building department before you close on the purchase
  • Dont record the deed under your name until you are certain the land is buildable and can be worked within your budget

3. Complete Permitting

One of the most significant uncertainties in the construction journey is the timeline for obtaining permits. There are numerous factors that can cause delays in this timeline. Securing a building permit involves obtaining the green light from multiple departments, each with its distinct set of criteria. Depending on the specific building regulations applicable, approvals may be required from the fire department, the health and safety department, city or county engineers, the water district, utility companies, and others.

Pro Tips

  • Modular building has expedited processes.
  • Some buildings are pre-engineered and can skip certain parts of structural review.
  • Although Modular construction has expedited permitting timeframes, the process can still take a lot of time.

4. Prepare the land

Before the land can be ready for building delivery, you need to have any public utilities brought on-site and placed under the future homes location. If the home is off the grid, you will need to add a septic system and a well before the land can be graded.

If your home has a basement or is a split level, you will need to excavate and balance as part of the grading. If you have a swimming pool as part of your build, the pool will be prepped at this time.

Drainage is a major factor in any home construction. Be sure to have adequate drainage as part of your land preparation. Once you have these components complete, it’s time for the foundation.

Things to Consider

  • Adding utility connections to the land can become very expensive if the land is remote.
  • Always use extreme caution when visiting an active job site. Be sure to check in with the foreman.

5. Building The Home

The first step to building the actual home is to construct the basement (if any) and foundation. Different soils and building engineering plans will require different foundation types. For some soils, a pier foundation is most appropriate, for others a slab may be better suited. Regardless of the type, there are certain parts that need to be built before the actual building components can be placed.

After the building is placed, connections to the utilities are made. Any seams, roofing, and final siding are added.

Things to consider

  • Modular construction can reduce the building process by weeks or even months. compared to site built.
  • A raised foundation has a crawl space to make any future repairs easier.
  • Some of the foundation may be completed after the building is placed.
  • The day the modular components arrive on site, may involve a crane. It can be exciting to witness the placement.

6. Final Steps

Once the building envelope is complete, the final touches are made. This includes the final painting, the landscaping, any decking, etc. Once these are done, your will complete your final walkthrough and upon approval, the home is ready for you to enjoy.
