Modular Home Floor Plans
If you have not viewed modular home floor plans in the recent years, you might be in for a big surprise. They are no longer the dull and similar floor plans that we knew in the past.
Many people think of modular home floor plans as all the same. In the past, a modular home usually consisted of a rectangular shaped home, with narrow hallways, a small bathroom, and rooms off the main hallway. In recent years, modular homes have grown to resemble traditional foundation homes in many ways.
Today, modular homes can be quite large, have more than one story and can be built in various styles. Modular homes are typically built away from the home site and shipped to the home via large trucks and assembled. Modular homes can be built to meet the standards of a particular area. Homes in areas prone to flooding or hurricanes can be specially equipped to withstand these disasters.
Modular homes can be built in a variety of styles. Some companies offer a wide variety of options, such as Cape Cod, Ranch, and Duplex home plans. These larger modular home floor plans usually consist of a living room, kitchen, a formal dining room, den and a half bath on the main floor. The bedrooms, as well as one or two full baths are located on the second level. Modular homes can also come in log cabin A-frame style homes. These one story homes consist of a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. However, these are just two examples of modular home floor plans. There is an endless supply of floor plans and styles to choose from.
If you decide to go with a modular home, make a list of the qualities that you would like in your home. What is the approximate square footage you need? How many bedrooms and how many bathrooms? Do you need a formal dining room or den? What style would you like your home to be in? Do you have any special considerations (such as living in an area prone to hurricanes) to consider? Once you have a general idea of what you are looking for, start looking at modular home companies. Most companies divide their websites into regions. This is done so you can be assured that the home you purchase will conform to the building codes of your area.
Once you pick out which modular home floor plan you like, it is time to customize your home. You can go with a standard package, or customize everything from the carpet color and style to the counter tops. All that is left to do is wait for your new home to be delivered and set up. The process could not be simpler and you will find that a modular home will save you money and be just as nice as its site-built neighbors.
