  About Our Services:

THE BUILDING PROCESS:

Choosing the right home on the right land is one of the most important phases of the building process. In doing so you will decrease the construction time required and save thousands of dollars over site built construction. We will assist you in choosing a home style and amenities that will give you the most value for your home building budget. With our vast library of home plans and our custom design service we can find you that DREAM HOME that fits your homes location and your lifestyle. Our experienced staff will do everything possible to make your building experience a pleasant one.

DESIGN SERVICE:

In the event that none of our standard floor plans with minimal changes will fulfill your wishes we can provide a computer aided drafting design service to design that custom "dream home", that will fit your lifestyle. During the designing process we can show you renderings and interior walkthroughs of your home to aid you in choosing the perfect design and color scheme. We use the latest state of the art design programs and have people that know how to use them. If you purchase a home from M1BP this design service is free of charge saving you thousands of dollars. Most builders charge for this service.

PRICING:

When a home style is chosen M1BP will give you pricing that is a firm and realistic final bottom line price. Unlike, site built homes where cost over runs are routine. We will also assist you with pricing the entire project i.e. land, permits, foundations water and sewer systems and hookups, driveways, delivery, setup, interior and exterior finish and any other costs that are required to complete your project. We will also give you comparison pricing on several different models if you choose, to aid you in choosing the right plan.

FINANCING:

Modular 1 Building Partners is affiliated with several mortgage companies. We can pre qualify you and put you in touch with the mortgage company with the best program and interest rates to meet your requirements

HOME PURCHASE:

When all the preliminaries are done such as plan selection, perk tests, checking zoning requirements etc. a contract is signed for the purchase of the home, and financing is completed, it is time to order your home for production. Since Modular1 Building Partners has several suppliers that build our homes to our specifications we will place your home order with the best manufacturer that will fulfill our requirements at the time of the order. There are many considerations to take into account at this time such as: lead time (manufactures production backlog), type of home a particular manufacturer specializes in, speed of getting drawings and Ohio approvals on custom homes, to mention a few. M1BP will then write the purchase order for the house and, when the order is confirmed by the manufacturer we will inform you in writing of the scheduling of the home that is given to us by the manufacturer. M1BP will arrange for the transportation of the home and having the home set on the prepared foundation and made weather tight. At this point the home is turned over to the owner and the responsibility of finishing the home becomes that of the owner unless, the owner chooses the ‘Turn-key’ option.

PURCHASE AND CONSTRUCTION KIT:

In the event that you decide to General Contract your own project or if you simply want to have as much, information, as possible, available to you to make your home purchasing decision. M1BP has assembled a Purchase/Construction Kit To assist you, the customer, in making the decisions required for the construction of your new home. The kit includes a catalog of stock floor plans, a base price list, a complete options price list, policy manuals, ordering information and delivery info to get your home to the job site, construction manuals detailing the sequential steps need to complete the finish work on the home. This manual will assist you in material purchases and finish work required. A manual that discusses the requirements for the field installed items such as the electric service, plumbing, heating & A/C. and how to hire, schedule and supervise subcontractors and, some of the pitfalls of being your own general contractor. Also included are a gnat chart to help you with scheduling, a subcontractor agreement, pricing forms to assist you in producing an accurate projected cost to prevent price overruns, and other important forms needed for a successful project.

A video detailing the Construction, delivery and set up of a modular home is included.

The decision to be your own general contractor should be carefully and thoroughly explored before you make the decision to GC your own project. Supervising a home construction project is not a difficult task for an experienced professional but, can be quite trying for the inexperienced. There are so many things that can go wrong, weather, subs not showing up, material shortages to mention a few and sometimes Murphy’s Law of "if anything can go wrong it will go wrong" is in full effect. Again M1BP will be there to assist you with questions pertaining to our expertise but, we will not activity participate in construction supervision after the home is on the foundation. You should consider the time and liabilities involved in being your own general contractor. Most lending institutions will allow a home owner to GC their own project as long as they are working with a qualified building professional for advise and consultation..

If you decide that you would prefer not to be your own general contractor that would leave you with a couple of options:

Option #1 You could still be your own GC but, you could subcontract to M1BP all the construction supervision. In this scenario you would still be the general contractor. You would set the budget, control the finances and be responsible for the over-all project. M1BP would do all the construction supervision. Construction supervision would include but not be limited to: supervising and scheduling of all phases of construction including , staking out the home and setting elevations, job site visits as required to meet and supervise all subcontractors. Assist you in choosing subcontractors, selecting material and material suppliers, obtaining permits, working with building officials and inspectors, taking care of punch lists, scheduling warranty repairs, applying for occupancy permit, etc. The owner/general contractor shall still have the responsibility of all final decisions pertaining to the project. There would be a charge for this service from M1BP.

Option #2 Purchase the home "Turn-Key".

If you chose this option M1BP will sign a contract with the buyer at a fixed price and be responsible for the design, purchase and construction of all phases of the project. M1BP would control all construction, finances, and purchasing of the project. The project would then be turned over to the owner "Turn Key" at the agreed price after the construction is completed and occupancy permits are obtained (if required). This is the most expensive scenario but of course is the safest for the owner in regards to cost overruns and the many other things that can happen to delay construction or increase the cost of your project.

SUPPORT:

 Modular Building Partner’s staff will be there for you before, during and after the construction of your new home to answer any questions that might arise. M1BP wants to be your building partner and we will do every thing possible including the little things such as, promptly returning phone calls, answering e-mails timely, and we will be truthful with you, we will not tell you your home will be here in 3 weeks when we know it will be 5 weeks.
