If you’ve been thinking about designing and building your future home from scratch rather than buying something off the market, our team at 1st Choice Home Centers is here to help! Since 1999, our dedicated team has specialized in home designing services for all types of modular and prefab homes, and we’d be delighted to offer some of our top tips to ensure a perfect fit for your needs.
As you begin the home designing process, here are some key things to keep in mind:
- Explore the different floor plans and features available. Even if you have a general home design plan in mind, we encourage you to see what types of modern floor plans, amenities, and other features are available in current houses. Taking some tours of modular and manufactured homes can give you inspiration and help you recognize what features you want to include in your own home.
- Create a realistic budget. Although choosing a modular or prefab home is often more affordable compared to buying a traditional house, you will have to account for other expenses. For instance, you’ll need to consider the cost of land, acquiring permits, constructing the home, adding utilities, and furnishing your home. Our home designing team can help you determine a budget that will work for you while still ensuring you get all the must-have items on your list.
- Carefully choose materials and finishes. Make sure to think about durability, aesthetic appeal, and affordability as you consider the wide array of materials and finishes available. For instance, marble countertops may look gorgeous, but they might not offer the durability that a busy household needs. Our home designing specialists can provide you with personalized recommendations to help you create a space that is both functional and beautiful.
