A modular home is a home that is not placed on a permanent fixture like a stick-built home is, although the home can be placed on permanent land in the future. Custom modular home builders design these types of homes for buyers who want special features put into their properties, although homes can also be purchased in their original styles and modified this way as well.

Should you build a custom modular home? Your custom modular homes specialist can show you the current models they have for sale to help you make your final decision. Use this guide to help you decide if a custom build is what you're after.

You like two different modular home designs

If you've been looking at home specifications for modular homes and you like two different styles, you can actually combine favourite features of both homes into a custom modular home you can love. Your custom modular home builders will help you draw up a custom home plan based on what you love in the existing homes you've been shown to make your final home most beneficial to you.

You see no current modular home designs you like

On the other end of the spectrum, you may want to get a custom modular home because none of the homes you see currently manufactured meet your needs. If you have specific desires in a modular home and have the money to spend on a custom design, then work with a home designer to get the custom features and floor plan that you desire.

Keep in mind that you can change around current floor plans — within reason — of models already on the market, or you can change certain materials in the modular home designs, such as countertops, flooring, or even cabinetry to make your new home more custom in its modular design.

Your desired features are not entirely available in pre-built homes

Do you see modular homes for sale that are near-perfect but just missing one or two of the features you desire in a property? Your custom modular home builders can work with you to make the modular home style closest to your custom design ideas a reality so you can still achieve the custom modular home you want without having to create one from scratch. Custom modular homes vary in price depending on how large they are and other factors, so work with your builder to determine what will work best for your needs.
