Homeowner builders have a lot of confusion about what's included in a packaged home. Kit Homes are disassembled "homes in a box." But, they certainly don't include everything you need to build a home.
The purpose of this article is to answer the following question that I get asked a lot as a home building industry advisor, consumer advocate, and home building coach.
Question: What's included in a kit or packaged home?
Answer:
Making the decision to build your home with a Kit Home (which can also be called a "packaged home") is a decision to streamline the home building process as an Owner Builder.
Most people who choose to build a Kit Home have also made the decision to be a DIY Owner Builder who intends to provide a lot of his or her own labor. The advantages make sense for the do-it-yourselfer. They'll enjoy:
A huge reduction in decision-making Centralized source for the bulk of the building materials Pre-prepared house plans, engineering and blueprints Panelize walls; pre-cut, measured and assembled framing walls Time savings and lower interest costs But, what's included and what's missing from these home building packages?
Every company is a bit different so you need to get a detailed list from any company that you propose to do business with. Let's look at a typical situation.
You'll normally find these items included in your Packaged Home Kit:
All the materials for the home's shell like framing lumber, siding, roofing, windows, doors, etc. Finishing materials such as ... interior trim, cabinetry, countertops, insulation, drywall, etc.
What you won't usually find include items like:
Foundation Mechanicals such as plumbing and electrical Finishing items like: appliances, floor coverings, and light fixtures
The DIY Owner Builder can often request some changes to customize the package to be closer to just what they want.
Completing the Package
As you can see, you'll need to buy additional คอนโดมือสอง items to complete your home. This is not a bad thing. In most cases I advise people that this is in their best interest. When it comes to finishing items like appliances, carpets, hardwood floors, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures and more, fun shopping sprees can be a big part of what makes home building so personal and more enjoyable.
Just be sure that you know what you're getting in your home package and budget for the things you get to buy on your own.
