Modular Home Floor Plans

Do you want to build a beautiful home, but don't want to wait six months to a year for it to be finished? You've come to the right place. Modular home building has become popular because you can choose any floor plan that you'd like and have it finished within three months. There are several modular home floor plans you can choose from at homeplan.com. Here are a few of the most popular and cost effective; these include small, ranch style, split-level, and two-story homes.

Small modular home plans are categorized as floor plans of less than 2,000 square feet. Because of the size difference, smaller homes are cheaper to build. A small home can be one or two stories and can be made in any architectural style. These homes are cheaper to heat and cool and easy to clean up for company. They are perfect for the young family starting out or the empty nesters that are downsizing.

Ranch style homes are perfect for a starter home. They are basically rectangular floor plans with roofs. They have little exterior trimmings and basic interior framing. Most people who buy a ranch style home, save their money to invest in the interior fixtures of the house like fine light fixtures, furniture, and wall coverings. Ranch homes are ideal for a young family starting out or an older couple settling down. With the ranch style, you still get a nice home but on a wise budget.

The split-level home first gained popularity in the late 1950's and is a break off of the ranch style homes. The split-level home has horizontal lines, a low-pitched roof and overhanging eaves like a ranch house, but has a two-story unit divided at mid-height to create three levels of living space. This allows a family three separate living spaces including a quiet master bedroom upstairs, a noisy kitchen and TV area in the middle, and another sleeping area for the children below. These kinds of plans are ideal for the busy family, but still provide a getaway place for the parents.

Building a two-story home is efficient construction because it is generally cheaper to build up than it is to build out. You can usually choose any style that can be applied to a two-story house. In a two-story house, the gathering rooms are usually downstairs like the kitchen, dining room, or great room. The upper story is mainly for the children though many couples choose to have their bedroom upstairs as well. The two-story plan is surprisingly affordable and efficiently made. If you need a bigger house, but still want it to be affordable, than a two-story home is just what your family needs.
