One of the most common questions we receive at 6homes is about the cost of a modular home project. The pricing involves various factors such as size, transportation, customization, and regulatory compliance. While providing a direct answer can be complex, we aim to clarify what you can expect in terms of expenses.
At 6homes, pricing starts with a base figure, to which we add costs for installation, service connections, and any optional upgrades. Remember, some of these costs are flexible, allowing you to manage your budget effectively. Let’s break down the elements that influence the final cost of your modular home.
Our Modular Home Pricing Structure
Every home is unique, but we can estimate your project costs by considering the following key factors:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a complimentary consultation to understand your design preferences and budget. Our consultants can perform a desktop assessment of your site for suitability.
- Base Price: Whether you choose a standard design or customize one, we start from a base price. This includes major components like the exterior, insulation, windows, doors, interior finishes, kitchen, bathroom, electrical, and plumbing works. Delivery, building permit, maintenance period, and home warranty are also covered in this price.
- Pre-Construction Fees: These fees cover design finalization, site-specific engineering reports, and final specifications. They may include costs for design, drafting, site reports, color and specification selection, and energy assessments. Complying with specific regulations like BAL and energy ratings may incur additional costs.
- Upgrades and Optional Features: Our base prices are just the beginning. You can customize your modular home with various upgrades such as decking, air conditioning, carports, water tanks, and more. Each upgrade adds to the cost depending on your chosen house design.
- Fittings and Finishes: Upgraded fixtures, fittings, and finishes can enhance the look and feel of your home. These may include premium benchtops, splashback tiles, and high-end appliances.
- Site Work: Site-specific costs vary and can include site connections, foundations, and access preparation. Costs for utilities like electricity, water, and sewage will depend on service availability and connection proximity.
- Transportation and Installation: After factory completion, your home is delivered and assembled on-site. This may involve specific routing for over-dimensional loads and the use of cranes for certain sites.
