Modular Log Homes
"Log Cabin Modular Homes"

Modular log cabin homes also known as prefab homes, are log cabin modular homes that are built in sections in a factory setting, indoors, where the log is never subjected to adverse weather conditions.

The sections move through the factory, with the company's quality control department checking them after every step.

Finished log cabin modular homes are then covered for there protection, then transported to there destination.

They are placed on a pre-made foundation, joined, and completed by your local builder.

How long does it take to build modular log homes?

That depends on your design and the manufacturer, but some modular log cabin homes can be built in the factory in as little as 1-2 weeks.

And since modular log cabin homes are built indoors, there's never a weather delay.

It usually takes another 2-4 weeks for local builders to complete prefab log homes once it's delivered to it's destination.

They sound like mobile homes, are they the same thing?

No, log cabin mobile homes, now called log cabin manufactured homes , are built to conform to the same federal code, no matter where they will be delivered. This code is what they call the the HUD code.

Modular log cabin homes conform to the building codes that are required at the specific location it will be delivered to, and in many cases construction exceeds the required codes.

Will banks finance modular log homes?

Yes. Most banks, appraisers, and insurance companies treat modular log cabin homes the same way they do log site built homes-- (a log house that's constructed entirely on your property.) Ask the mortgage brokers and banks in your area to explain how they finance log modular homes.

Can I save money by building a modular log cabin home?

Sometimes. Construction costs for log modular homes are sometimes less per square foot than for a similar site-built home. And there are other cost-saving features:

** Many modular log homes are very energy efficient, which helps reduce your heating and cooling costs.

** Your modular log home will probably be ready to move into much sooner than if you wait for a builder to construct a house on-site.

Do all modular log cabin homes look alike?

No, and unless you were there to see the log house delivered and assembled, you might not guess it's a log cabin modular home.

Modular lg home manufacturers use computer aided design programs to draw plans to your specifications, or to modify one of their standard plans to suit your needs, so nearly any home plan can be turned into modular log cabin homes.

It's true that some log home modulars are very basic and resemble double wide manufactured log homes, but the two structures are still built in different ways.

Each manufacturer is different, so be sure to ask questions about flexibility if you would like to design your own log cabin modular home.

Both homes are very easy to finance. and it doesn't cost anything to just take a look. You'll see for yourself how cheap it is to be able to afford your dream modular log cabin home.
