Flipping with Pre-Fabricated/Modular Construction
I am looking into pre-fabricated construction for flips. My goal is to have quicker construction times and potentially save on the materials/labor costs since most of the construction is done before the house arrives. Does anyone have experience flipping homes with modular construction?
I went and toured Rochester Homes this weekend to take a look at their factory and process. The results seem promising but I have yet to sit down with them to talk numbers since there is a lot of variable cost based on the level of finish, lot condition, and then hiring a 3rd party to finish out the final details e.g. making final electrical connections, connecting plumbing to main drive line, running duct work etc.
With all of this said does anyone have experience with pre-fabricated construction? If so what has your experience been like? Do you think you are actually saving money or is it more of a time aspect?
