Why Richmond homeowners choose modular
Richmond's mix of single-family lots, laneway-friendly properties, and infill sites makes it a strong fit for factory-built construction. Building indoors in a controlled factory environment means fewer weather delays and a more predictable schedule — useful in a market where site work and trades can book up fast.
As an authorized Solera Modular dealer based in Richmond, we carry the full residential lineup, from compact one-bedroom models to larger family homes, and can walk you through what fits a Richmond-sized lot.
Permits & the City of Richmond
A modular home placed on a permanent foundation in Richmond follows the same building permit process as a site-built home through the City of Richmond. Requirements depend on your specific lot, zoning designation, and whether services (water, sewer, hydro) are already in place. We review this with you before you commit to a floorplan, so there are no surprises partway through.
What the process looks like
- Consultation & site review — your vision, your lot, and your budget
- Design & fixed quote — floorplan, finishes, and options, priced before anything is built
- Factory build, while your site and foundation work move forward in parallel
- Delivery & set, final finishing, and a walk-through before handoff
