What is a modular/manufactured home?
The term ‘modular’ describes a method of construction and not a style of building. Our manufacturer, Moduline Industries, builds the homes within a climate controlled setting and then the module(s) are transported to the site for final completion by our experienced team. All home and building structures are built with 2×6 exteriors and maximum insulation according to industry standards and building codes within the province of British Columbia.
How can we help you with your new home?
We can assist you with all of the details in building your new home from start to finish. We will walk you through the process and help guide you towards getting the features that you envision for your new home.
How long does it take to build?
The build time depends on the design. Just a couple of the many advantages of choosing a manufactured home is the speed and quality that is provided within an environmentally controlled facility. With weather delays eliminated and foundation preparations done at the same time as construction, this ensures that the home is complete and delivered on time. On average a home can be produced and delivered on-site anywhere from 8-14 weeks from the day of order. On-site completion may vary depending on the site preparation required, but it can be as little as 10 days in some cases.
Can I be involved in the design process?
Absolutely! Our experienced sales team will do their utmost to make all your design wishes come to life within your new home. Of course there are always limits, but if it can be done, we will certainly make it happen!
Is there a warranty?
The protection for your new home is the same as it would be for a site-built home, offering a 1 year worry free manufacturer’s warranty on all workmanship and material defects that might occur. Buyers also receive an exclusive 10 year structural warranty designed to specifically protect new manufactured home buyers. Read more about the Pacific Home Warranty program here.
Moduline has teamed up with PAL Home Owners Insurance. They are now offering 1 year free home owner's insurance! Ask your sales consultant how to apply.
Where can I put my new home?
Modular home designs can go almost anywhere and can be designed with different structural systems for placement on either a concrete pad, crawl space, basement or steel pilings It is best to find out what is acceptable in the mobile home park, city or region you are interested in settling in by contacting the municipality or regional district for the bylaws in that area.

Can I get a mortgage for a modular home?
Yes, of course! Whether you are placing the home on privately owned or leased land, mortgages can be obtained the same as a site built home. Whatever your financial situation, Lakeridge Homes can assist you by recommending preferred lenders who are experienced with this product.
What is included in the purchase price?
Typically what is included in the price of your new home is delivery and setup by our on-site Lakeridge Homes team. We take care of the setup including installation of blocking, anchors, skirting and temporary stairs.
Options that are not included with the home setup are foundations, contracting, cranes, services and accessory buildings. The Lakeridge team can help with recommendations for qualified service providers in all of these areas.
