GET STARTED NOWAssessing your lot
Built Prefab structures can be placed onto almost any lot with flexible foundation options including screw piles, a crawl space and even a basement. Below are the typical requirements that identify whether or not your lot is suitable for a Built Prefab modular home.
ZONING AND BYLAWS
We must be certain that there are no restrictions in your area that would prevent the installation of one of our prefab modular homes and that the model you selected fits on your lot in accordance with the required setbacks and other restrictions. This is usually confirmed by checking the bylaws affecting your property and reviewing your site plan.
SHIPPING
We must be certain that we can ship the prefab modules to your location. Some models have modules that are up to 16? wide and close to 60? long and some modules may be too wide to ship down some highways or too long to turn into some lots. Sometimes these restrictions can affect available designs. Your Built Prefab representative will help you confirm whether or not a prefab modular home is suitable for your lot.
CRANING
Finally, we need to be sure that we can gain access to your lot with enough room to crane the prefab modular home onto its foundation. We can discuss your requirements, but it may require a look in person by a Built Prefab representative.
