Factory Built Homes in New England

Key Factors to Consider When Selecting a Modular Home Dealer in New England - If you've decided to make your next home a modular, then know that the research that will be required of you in order to ensure a successful project will be no less than it would be if you were building a traditional, "stick-built" home. In fact, you may find that building a modular home will require even more research. Irregardless, you can be certain that in order to ensure the best results, you'll need to do your homework. Below, we offer a few of the key factors to consider when selecting a modular home dealer.

Experience. The modular home dealer's chief responsibility is to design, price, and order homes on behalf of their customers. Before moving forward with your project, you will want to find out more about the dealer's past experience. For example:

1. How long has the dealer been in business?
2. How solid are the dealers' references?
3. Is the dealer patient and comfortable when answering questions---or does he or she seem to be in a hurry to get you to "sign on the dotted line"?

Capabilities. Many modular home dealers double as general contractors (GCs), but some do not.

1. Is the dealer that you're considering a GC?
2. If not, does the dealer have a single GC, or perhaps a group of them, that he or she works with on a regular basis?
3. If so, then how do the GCs references check out?

Pricing. When meeting with a factory built homes in New England dealer, one of the most important items to ask for is the cost estimate. Although the first estimate you discuss will be a "ballpark" figure, it can still help you during the evaluation stage.

1. How does the dealer's estimate stack up against others you've received for the same project?
2. What items does the estimate include and exclude?
3. At what point in the process will a detailed estimate be provided?

The answers to these questions---and many others---can be useful as you work to identify the modular home dealer that's right for your project. To get in touch with a local factory built homes in New England builder or contractor, please fill out the short form below:
