Modular homes are, on average, priced $5 per sq. ft. lower than their site-built counterparts.

The costs involved with building a modular house will vary depending primarily on the cost of the land to build upon. An estimate for a basic 30’x 52’ home would be $89,000, approximately $15,000 for the permits, $15,000 for site prep and the foundation, $3,500 for surveying and engineering, $17,000 to set up the home on foundation, $8,000 for connections to utilities, $20,000 for a garage, and $2,500 more for miscellaneous. If the cost of land would be $25,000, the total price of this sample project would be $195,000.
