How Modular Home Balance Standardization and Customization

Modular home are disrupting the global construction market due to their standardized construction process and low cost. With the growing demand for personalized architecture, the contradiction between standardization and customization of modular home is emerging. How to balance the standardization and customization of modular home?

The Value of Modular Home

The value of modular home lies in the ability to replicate it over and over again and the resulting cost advantages. As a prefab home, prefabricated modules are built in a controlled factory environment. The modules are then transported to the building site and assembled on the foundation. This means faster build times, tighter quality control, and potentially lower costs and environmental impact. The modular design concept makes people fall into cookie-cutter thinking, which is a misunderstanding of modular prefab home. For experienced modular home suppliers, this can be solved.

Characteristics of a personalized home

People’s favor and pursuit of personalized housing, from the promotion of democracy and the release of individuality, in the increasingly rich material society, people’s demand for material is not only the use of low-end demand, but also to expand to the spiritual level of individuality projection and the realization of personal claims. But for prefab home, customization is only the following: the number of floors of the building, the height of the floor, the floor plan and the appearance of the building,  the interior decoration style and interior materials and equipment differences. This has no influence on the structural form of the modular house.

For these, modular home suppliers should be able to do the job.

Modular home personalized approach

Based on the above individual needs of customers, modular home suppliers should improve in the following areas.

Researching customized modular home

It is crucial to understand your target audience’s preferences and pain points through market research. This helps modular home suppliers develop customized modular home options that meet the most common needs. Collecting this information improves the current standardized design template and makes those alternative requirements optional, which does not affect standardized production but also provides customers with customized modular home.

Classification of Modules and Option Settings

After obtaining the client’s customized requirements, the designer organizes and categorizes them. The different modular houses are categorized according to their functions and the configuration is modified. Such as, for granny flat, according to the region, residential area, room configuration, interior decoration, exterior effect, etc. to carry out a variety of combinations, and add granny flat a variety of options of budget items for customers to choose, because granny flat in North America is more commonly used in the family configuration, to meet the needs of this part of the people that can be obtained in this part of the market. At the same time, after the design is completed, the need to increase or improve the raw materials and production processes.

Active design of modular house

Personalization, like fashion, is always a passing fad, and when it catches on it slowly becomes standardized. As Modular House Design should lead the way and provide customers with more forward-looking designs, these Modular House Design should take into account the individual needs of customers and go beyond the architectural aesthetics to make the modular house both functional and aesthetically pleasing by carefully designing it in a way that is refreshing to the customer. Architects can elevate the modular house from a practical solution to a popular lifestyle choice.

Updating of materials and processes

Once design matter are resolved, modular house suppliers need to address production and construction issues.

Selection of innovative raw materials is an important step to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and lead the development of the industry, but also responsible for the performance of consumers. Both the exterior of the prefab house and the new equipment in the prefab house will be very attractive to the customer, which will lead to the sale of the prefab house. As new personalization requires improvements in the production process, which is an important aspect of ensuring that the personalization meets the customer’s standards, some of which may require the purchase of new production equipment, some of which may require improvements and upgrades, manufacturers need to consider these costs in balancing the profitability of personalization sales.
