What are Modular Home Extensions?

Modular homes extensions are ready-made constructions that are ready to expand your existing home.

With this practice, construction is quicker, wastages are minimized and quality of materials used can be better controlled.

The modular home extensions available are single-floor modular extensions, 2 floor modular home extensions, prefabricated (prefab) modular home extensions. They include advantages that vary according to your budget, space, and schedule.

The process of home extensions may consume months to complete or it can be delayed by other factors such as weather, labour shortages and other unexpected problems. Nevertheless, things are easier with modular home extensions. They are less susceptible to delay since manufacturing them takes place in a controlled factory setup. The construction of the modular extensions normally takes a fraction of the duration that traditional constructions take.

Cost-Effectiveness

Modular home extensions tend to be cheaper in comparison to conventional extensions and this is quite understandable. Modular construction minimises wastes and enables purchasing of materials in bulk and hence minimises expenditure. It is also easier to predict the construction process and experience less interruption in the build.

• Materials: The used materials can be another factor influencing its costs because the quality of used material may impact on it negatively. Higher grades of material will prove more expensive yet possibly have a longer term durability and appearance.
• Design and Customisation: Modular extensions tend to cost less when compared to the traditional build, but the extension can be as expensive as you want it to be in terms of customisation. It can also raise the total price through additional luxury, custom decor or high technology.
