As the experts in modular homes for Falls Church and the surrounding areas, we’ve put together the typical modular homes building process. The actual process could vary depending on location, scale etc.

First, there is the land or lot development including purchasing, title, site accessibility study, perk or probe test or public sewer if available. This should be conducted prior to purchase if not already owned. Then comes the design, paperwork & permits. You will select a modular model and work with our experts to customize your options for the home. We will then develop and finalize prints, plans, options, finishes and specs.

Then it’s time to sign the contracts, sign plans and specs, secure financing, set the target occupancy date and issue the deposit! The next steps include establishing construction activities/schedule, obtaining and post permits including building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, road and more.

Next, the foundation and site work begins! There is a lot that goes into this part but some steps including:

  • Dumpster delivery 
  • Layout and excavation
  • Obstacles for crane and transporters removed 
  • Scheduling of bulldozer, operator and utility crew  
  • Pour footings & footing inspection 
  • Construction and inspection of foundation walls 
  • Basement window installation
