Welcome home

MethodHomes® builds high quality residential homes on time, and on budget.

 

method process

 
We encourage clients to work with local real estate agents who are knowledgeable about new construction and site selection. Method can provide an initial site assessment prior to writing an offer on the land.

Site Selection

Our process begins with a scheduled phone conversation with our Design and Sales Team. We review your goals and vision for the home, site, budget, schedules and process. Method will then provide you with schematic cost estimates for your project and discuss financing options. Method provides a variety of design approaches: working with long established architects who are familiar with the process, with architects that are new to the process selected by our clients and in house design options.

Consultation

For some sites a feasibility study will help clients better understand the infrastructure needs of the property they are purchasing. During a feasibility study Method can review the site for access, coordinate soils testing, topographical surveys and review the zoning and permitting timelines. Method will review design goals and further evaluate modular and local building costs, transportation and set logistics and provide a full review of the project prior to entering into a full Pre-construction Agreement that will engage the whole team. Method offers a Schematic Design option that is in conjunction with the Feasibility study for projects that have unique site and or design goals.

Feasibility

If financing is required, it is important to have a budget in mind and to get pre-approved for a construction loan. We can put you in touch with preferred lenders or speak with yours.

Financing

A Pre-construction agreement fully engages the Method team for all of the activities leading up to a fully permitted set of plans ready for construction. Method will engage the design team, structural engineers, and develop detailed specifications for the home. Method will coordinate directly with the local general contractor with a detailed scope of work once the final specifications and detailed estimation is complete.

Design & Permitting

Method will fully review all of the interior details with our interior design team. We have preselected finishes for our Series, or we can work with you to select your custom finishes. Our estimation team provides line by line detailed costs allowing for clients to dial up or down their finishes to fit the desired aesthetic and budgetary goals.

Design Specification

Once the detailed estimation is complete and coordinated with the local general contractor, Method Contracts are executed with a a 25 percent initial payment for the modules. Construction commences typically 4-8 weeks from the signing of the build contract, and after the permits are issued.

Permit & Contract

A dedicated project manager will coordinate the factory construction and stay involved through the completion of your home. The fabrication typically will typically take 16 weeks, though it may take longer with specialty items and or larger projects. Schedule of payments for factory construction starts with 25% initial payment due upon execution of the Construction Agreement. 25% progress payment is due halfway through the factory construction process, 25% is due at the completion of the wall covering and the balance of the modular construction contract is due upon delivery of the modules.

Fabricate

Homes are delivered and installed (on average) four months from the fabrication start date. In most cases, a crane places the home at the site in one day. Method coordinates with site GC’s to complete the home’s stitching process, that will typically take 2-4 months.
