If you've decided you want to move to the country, you're probably thinking about fresh air, sunshine and nights filled with the sounds of cicadas instead of the honk of horns and the thumping of a city. What you might not be thinking about is all the additional costs that can come with getting your dream house built in the country.
If there are no local workers, you will likely have to pay for travel expenses and accommodation to get your selected builder and their trades to the destination of your new home. Materials need to be trucked in and the whole entire process can be more expensive and labour intensive than you imagined. For these reasons alone, many people looking to build in rural areas are turning to modular construction to allow them to have their dream home built on time and on budget. Below, we’ve outlined the top 3 advantages of building a modular home in rural area:
Time
Traditional home construction can take a significant amount of time, and that's without the unique challenges that building in a rural area presents. Modular homes can be assembled relatively quickly as most of the construction takes place off-site in an undercover factory. This allows the builder to streamline the coordination of trades at every stage, meaning your home is built in a significantly shorter time frame than would have been achieved via traditional construction methods.

Cost
Modular homes are generally less expensive that traditional homes due to production line efficiencies. Thanks to the assembly line nature of their construction, homeowners have significantly less labour costs to pay for, not to mention the ability to minimise waste and recycle materials. This is particularly relevant for homes built in rural areas as the cost of the home does not include excessive staff travel and accommodation expenses. And the reduced cost certainly doesn’t compromise the end result – homeowners benefit from the same amenities, appearance, comfort and quality as they would receive with a home built on-site.

Design
Modular homes have come a long way in the past 10 years when it comes to design capabilities, to a point where companies such as Swanbuild can construct and transport almost any home design. Customers can select from over 70 existing home designs or completely customise a design from scratch. All home designs come with a variety of options which allows owners to completely customise their modular experience. From colours and materials to fascia options, there is plenty of wiggle room in terms of how a modular home looks, and what it offers owners.
