The construction time of a modular home is generally faster than the time it takes to build a traditional site-built one. On average, depending on the complexity of the design and any customizations you may choose, construction of the modular home itself takes between six to twelve weeks.
This shorter build time is made possible by the controlled factory environment where the modules are constructed, which allows for fewer weather delays and faster assembly. However, it’s important to note that additional time may be needed on site preparation including foundation work, utility hookups, and permits. These tasks usually take 2 to 4 weeks.
All told, you can expect a modular home to be fully built and ready for occupancy within about 3 to 6 months. From this perspective, it’s clear that if you are in a hurry to move into your own place, modular housing represents one of the better choices available when measured against both traditional homes and apartments.
