The last cabin has left the factory – a new chapter begins

Good question! How many words can you use for the same thing?!
They’re all trying to describe the same thing – a home built in a factory and then transported to site once it is nearly 100% complete. One thing to be clear about – a ‘kit home’ is something quite different.
A ‘kit home’ is just all the materials you need to build a house and then you have to either build it yourself or employ a builder (a.k.a. hard work!). A modular home comes out of our factory fully built and just needs to be delivered to site and placed on its foundations – which we do for you.
So call them what you like – ‘Modular Homes’ is the predominant term used these days.
The advantage of a Modular Home?
Most folks think the advantage of modular homes would be that they’re much cheaper than traditional building. That’s not necessarily the case. The real advantage is the control of building within a factory environment rather than on site. Research shows that on typical building projects, 61% run behind schedule. With Uniplan and our modular building system we can schedule with certainty. Also, for remote and regional sites, where it can be difficult to find tradies, modular construction is ideal as your building is delivered to site almost fully complete.
