Kit homes and other construction methods

[Belu]

Is anyone doing it? On the surface it does look like an alright option - but the labour costs would still be there.

The benefits I see are:

- Design is done
- Everything is supplied
- Everything *should* fit together

At the end of the day you still need to pour the slab and put everything together. I have seen costs as low as $37k for a 2bed and $47k for a 3bed. On top of this you have site works, assembly, paint, etc.

Other Kits come delivered and assembled, which are about $100k.

Other options are modular constructed homes and the like. Is anyone building like this?

Cheers

Yes, and there's other threads on it too.

Varies by state.

$100k seems high for a delivered house, too, unless you've got every extra on the planet, which is is unusual if you're talking IP.

Rockstar has just completed his 3rd and 4th kit home and has 2 threads on construction and costs most likely under the adding value forum.

Search for his name.
