Modular home costs. Every number on the page.

A modular home has two prices: the dwelling, which is fixed, and the site, which depends on your land. Most builders show you the first and let you discover the second. Here are both, priced from builds we have invoiced.

The two-part price

Dwelling price vs site costs.

The dwelling price

Fixed at contract. It covers the complete Class 1a home: architect-designed, factory-built at Laceys Creek, finished inside and out, certified. It does not move once you sign.

Site costs

Everything between your land and a liveable home: approvals, footings, services, transport, crane. These depend on your block, which is why anyone quoting them without seeing it is guessing. We quote them in writing after a site review.
