It's
seems simply too logical not to be a great idea.
Find
a piece of property, pour a foundation, prepare all other services
you may need including electrical and sewer hookup, and then bring in
the already-built house.
You
can buy a modest brand new house for under $120,000 and have it
transported to your destination. The cost of the house itself can be
under $90.00 per square foot.
There
is a company (dealership) in Woodstock doing just that and very
successfully actually as they have a geographical area and franchise
agreement with three builders of large modular homes, including the
well-known Viceroy brand based in Port Hope, along with Guildcrest
(Moorewood, Ontario). The Viceroy houses would essentially be built
on site, while Comfort Homes models (interior picture and specs page here) are built in a factory and then
transported.
Contact
Comfort Homes at 1-888-600-9336 or (519) 533-0855, or better yet
visit their site at 560 Athlone Avenue in Woodstock where they
currently have both a permanent Viceroy and 'sample model' Comfort
Home on display. The brand new – it arrived less than three weeks
ago – Pondstone model is 1524 square feet and quite a functional
and impressive ranch-style house. While it is vinyl-sided, the home
features a large eat-in kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a luxury ensuite to the
master bedroom (walk-in closet too), vaulted ceilings, plywood roof
sheathing, high efficiency gas furnace, high-end carpet, and could
include more specific upgrades such as a gas fireplace.
When
discussing the 20 or more building plans available with Woodstock
office owner/manager Ted Rumsey, it quickly became apparent that
Woodstock's location is ideal for this 'showroom' as it is visible
from the 401 and is just a short drive to the 401 / 403 crossroads.
Woodstock is also about mid-way between southern Ontario cottage
destinations such as Grand Bend on Lake Huron or southward to Lake
Erie. Oxford County is also the bullseye on the target as many in the
agricultural business are either replacing old farm houses with a
modern residence or adding a secondary home on an existing farm for a
second generation family member living nearby.
Their
traffic area or geographical area in which automobiles arrive in
Woodstock includes northward to Collingwood, so the local office is
also attracting visitors to Oxford.
You
too should plan on stopping by two visit the unique homes, as hours
are: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1-5 p.m.
Weather
alone can be a reason to select Comfort Homes as your home builder as
Rumsey noted in an earlier London Free Press article, but there are
additional reasons to consider.
“The
advantage of factory-built is obviously speed. You can have things
done on site simultaneously to in the factory. There are no weather
delays. We don’t have to worry about snow in the factory.
“We
work with the customer on finishing the inside. It’s one-stop
shopping. They don’t have to go around to different kitchen and
flooring places.”
