How Do I Know If My Property Is Suitable for a Modular Home or Dwelling?

Published On: August 28th, 2024|

When considering a modular home or dwelling, one of the most common questions homeowners have is whether their property is suitable for this type of construction. At Arcopod, we understand that every property is unique, and several factors can influence its suitability for a modular home. In this post, we’ll guide you through the key considerations and explain how our team can help you determine if a modular home is the right choice for your property.

1. Assessing Site Access and Logistics

The first step in determining if your property is suitable for a modular home is assessing site access. Modular homes are constructed off-site in a controlled factory environment and then transported to your property in large sections. This means that adequate access for trucks and cranes is crucial for delivery and installation.

Our experienced team can conduct a thorough site visit to evaluate the accessibility of your property. We’ll check for potential obstacles such as narrow roads, sharp turns, overhead power lines, or limited space for manoeuvring large vehicles. Ensuring smooth access is essential for a seamless delivery and installation process, minimising any potential delays or complications. Please note that site visits may incur a call-out fee, which covers the cost of our team’s time and expertise in evaluating your property.

2. Onsite Building Services for Challenging Sites

In some cases, a property may have limited access or unique challenges that make traditional modular home delivery difficult. For properties within a specific range of our factory, Arcopod offers onsite building services for select designs. This hybrid approach allows us to combine the benefits of modular construction with the flexibility of onsite building, providing a tailored solution for properties that might not be suitable for full off-site construction.

Our onsite services are ideal for properties with challenging terrain, slopes, or other site-specific constraints. By working closely with our clients, we can develop customised solutions that meet their needs while still delivering the high-quality, efficient construction that Arcopod is known for.
