What is a modular home and why is it better than traditional construction?

In the Dominican Republic, the need for safe, affordable, and quickly ready housing is more urgent than ever. In this context, modular homes are changing the way we build and buy homes. But do you know exactly what they are and why so many people prefer them to traditional construction?

🏗️ What is a modular home?

A modular home is a home built in sections or modules in a factory and then transported to the customer's site for installation. Unlike traditional homes, which are built from scratch on-site, modular homes arrive almost finished, reducing time, costs, and risks.

These homes are designed to meet the same standards of quality, safety, and durability, and can even outperform conventional construction in certain key aspects.

⏱️ Advantages over traditional construction

1. Fast Delivery

   While a traditional home can take between 6 and 12 months, a modular home can be ready in 60 to 90 days. This is ideal if you have land and want to move in as soon as possible.

2. More Affordable Cost

   Mass production optimizes materials and processes, allowing for competitive prices. For example, at MetroxMetro, you can find models starting at US$16,460, with monthly installments starting at US$300, without having to go through banks.

3. Direct Financing

   One of the biggest barriers to buying a home is access to credit. With the direct financing model for modular homes, you can apply without a bank history and with only a 30% down payment.

4. Hurricane Resistance

   Many MetroxMetro modular home models are designed to withstand Category 5 hurricanes, a vital advantage in the Caribbean.

5. Flexible customization

   Although they are produced in modules, you can choose designs with 1, 2, or 3 rooms, finishes, colors, and even include commercial or office modules if you wish.
