Why Building Modular May Be The Best Option For Your Holiday Home

Written by Swanbuild | 20, September, 2018

If you've always wanted to build a holiday home but were concerned about the time and money involved, you may want to consider all the benefits of building a modular home for your holiday retreat.

Primary vs. Weekend Home

Although it might be tempting to want an expensive holiday home, you’ll need to consider whether it is financially wise to invest a large sum of money into an expensive holiday home that may only be used for a few days each month or perhaps just a few weeks each year. Generally speaking, building a modular home can be less expensive overall than their traditional counterparts.

a Complex Building Process

Anyone that has gone through the traditional building process knows that it takes months of decisions and visits to the home site in order to complete the home building process. Many holiday homes are a substantial distance away from the owner’s primary residence and going through a traditional building process will require many trips to the job site. All of this hassle can be avoided by building a modular home. With a modular build, virtually all of the decision making process is completed before the home build commences inside a controlled environment.

FAST TURNAROUND TIME

The time it takes to build a modular home in a controlled environment is significantly lower than the time it takes to build on-site. You can start relaxing in a modular holiday home long before a traditional build could be completed.

Still customisable

You don't have to stick to a rigid home design when building a modular home. Just as with traditional home designs, modular home designs are all fully customisable, allowing you to build in the features that are important to you.
One of the key reasons of owning a holiday home is to have a retreat where families can truly relax and spend time enjoying the outdoors and other family activities. Building a modular home allows you to do just that without all the extra hassle and expense of a traditionally built home.
