Pricing & Timelines — Plymouth County, MA

What Does a Modular Home Actually Cost in Plymouth County?

Honest numbers. No fluff. Here's what families are actually paying — and what they're saving compared to traditional construction.

~$250
Per square foot

vs. $400–$600/sq ft for traditional stick-built construction in Plymouth County. Same land. Same town. Same specs — built by a family contractor your neighbors already know.

Most BMB families save $200,000 to $300,000 compared to the quotes they received from traditional builders. That's a number that tends to stop people in their tracks the first time they hear it.

Design Plans

The $2,500 Difference

Traditional architectural plans (stick-built)
$20K–$30K
$17,500–$27,500
in your pocket before the first foundation bolt is set — just on plans alone.

Most families find out about the design plan savings during their first conversation with Mike. Before that, they assumed custom plans were going to cost $20,000 to $30,000 — which is standard for traditional architectural work.

With BMB, your plans are fully custom — your layout, your rooms, your choices. And they're approximately $2,500. Not $25,000. That's not a typo and it's not a catch.

The factory build process allows Mike to work with modular manufacturers who produce precision plans at scale. You get custom results without the custom-architect price tag baked into the system you're paying for.

That $17,500–$27,500 gap? That's often the first moment people realize how fundamentally different this is — and that moment usually happens before they've spent a dollar.

"That's $17,500–$27,500 in your pocket before the first foundation bolt is set."
Week-by-Week

The 8–12 Week Timeline

This is why modular takes 12 weeks instead of 12 months. Factory build and site work happen simultaneously. You don't wait for one before the other starts.

Week 1–2
Design Consultation & Plan Finalization
Mike walks through your vision, your lot, your budget. Custom plans are drawn and finalized — your layout locked in. No cookie-cutter templates.
Week 2–3
Permit Applications & Site Survey
Mike files permits and coordinates the site survey. His 40-year relationship with local inspectors means this moves faster than it would for any other builder.
Running Simultaneously
Week 3–8
Factory Construction
Your home modules are precision-built inside a climate-controlled factory — no weather delays, no contractor no-shows. While the factory builds your home, Mike's crew is already working your site.
Running Simultaneously
Week 4–8
Site Preparation & Foundation
Excavation, foundation pour, and all site prep happen while the factory is building your modules. Not one after the other — both at once. This is the entire reason for the 12-week timeline.
Week 8–9
Delivery & Crane Set
Your modules are delivered and craned into place — typically completed in a single day. Neighbors stop to watch. It's genuinely impressive.
Week 9–11
Assembly, Connections & Finish Work
Mike's crew completes all structural connections, utility hookups, and interior and exterior finish work. Every detail that makes it your home.
Week 11–12
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
Final inspection with the town. Mike has walked this process hundreds of times with the same inspectors. Certificate of occupancy issued.

Keys in Hand You're moving into your custom dream home while your neighbor's stick-built project is still waiting on framing permits. That's not a promise — that's been our track record for 40 years.

* Timeline varies by site conditions, permit processing time, and project scope. 8–12 weeks is our established track record. Mike will give you a realistic timeline estimate based on your specific lot and build scope.

Construction Loans

Financing Is Simpler Than You Think

  • 01
    Same Down Payment Requirements Standard construction loans with the same down payment structure as any new home build. No modular penalty.
  • 02
    Same Process as Traditional Construction BMB modular homes are built to identical building codes and placed on permanent foundations — wood-driven piles in flood zones or poured concrete on standard lots. Banks treat them the same as stick-built — because they are.
  • 03
    Lender Referrals Available Mike works with local banks that know his track record. If you need a lender recommendation, he can point you to people who've financed his builds before.
  • 04
    Appraised Identically — No Resale Risk On a permanent foundation, a BMB modular home appraises the same as stick-built and appreciates normally. No stigma. No hit at resale.

Construction loans for modular homes are available through standard local banks — many of which already know Mike and his work. Most families find the financing process is simpler than they expected.

The process isn't exotic or complicated. You apply for a construction loan the same way you would for any new build. The bank draws funds in stages as construction milestones are hit. When you move in, it converts to a standard mortgage.

The shorter build timeline often works in your favor here too. Because the project runs 8–12 weeks instead of 12–15 months, your construction loan period is dramatically shorter — meaning less interest paid before you convert to your permanent mortgage.

What Families Tell Us

The Savings Are Real

"

"Most families come to us after getting stick-built quotes over a million dollars for what they want. After we walk through the modular numbers together, the typical savings are $200,000–$300,000 on comparable specs. Every time, they say they wish they'd called sooner."

Mike Biviano — BMB Owner, 4th Generation Contractor
"

"Design plans alone save $17,500–$27,500. That's often the first moment people realize how different this is. Before they've spent a dollar on construction, they're already ahead by tens of thousands. Then we get to the actual build cost — and the number keeps getting better."
