Welcome 🏗️

ModularEdge exists for one reason: help you make the modular vs stick-built decision with real numbers, not opinions.

What You Get Inside

• Full course: 5 chapters covering cost analysis, timeline comparison, tools setup, risk assessment, and troubleshooting

• Spreadsheets & templates: Ready-to-use cost comparison and timeline planning tools

• Community chat: Connect with other owner-builders and investors working through the same decisions

• Builder's feed: Share your analysis, get peer review, and learn from others' real-world builds

How to Start

1. Open the course and work through it sequentially — each chapter builds on the last

2. Run your own numbers using the tools from Chapter 2

3. Share your analysis in the community for feedback

4. Use the decision matrix in Chapter 5 to make your final call

Who This Is For

• First-time homebuilders evaluating construction methods

• Real estate investors comparing build timelines for ROI

• Owner-builders who want a data-driven framework before breaking ground

Ask questions. Share numbers. Build smarter.

Most people comparing modular vs stick-built construction only look at the sticker price. That's a $24,000+ mistake.

The Hidden Cost Nobody Talks About: Time

A typical stick-built home takes 8-12 months. A comparable modular home takes 3-5 months. That 5-7 month difference is real money:

• Construction loan interest: $800-$1,500/month

• Rent while you wait: $1,200-$2,500/month
  

• Insurance & property taxes: $350-$800/month

That's $2,350-$4,800/month in carrying costs. Over 5 extra months: $12,000-$24,000 that never shows up on a contractor's quote.

Worse for Investors

Building to rent? Every month of construction = $0 rental income. A $2,000/month property that takes 5 months longer costs $10,000 in lost revenue on top of carrying costs.

The Real Comparison Framework

A proper analysis includes:

1. Hard costs — materials, labor, factory price

2. Soft costs — permits, engineering, inspections

3. Site costs — foundation, utilities, landscaping

4. Carrying costs — time-value of money during construction

5. Opportunity costs — delayed income or move-in

When you run ALL five categories, the "cheaper" option on paper often isn't cheaper at all.

Want the Full Framework?

Inside ModularEdge, I walk through every step — spreadsheets, risk assessments, and a weighted decision matrix. No sales pitch for either method. Just the math.

Built for aspiring homebuilders, owner-builders, and real estate investors who want data-driven decisions.

Most people comparing modular vs stick-built construction only look at the sticker price. They get a quote from a modular manufacturer, a quote from a local builder, and pick the lower number.

That's a $24,000+ mistake. Here's why.

The Hidden Cost Nobody Talks About: Time

A typical stick-built home takes 8-12 months. A comparable modular home takes 3-5 months. That 5-7 month difference isn't just an inconvenience — it's real money leaving your pocket every single month:

• Construction loan interest: $800-$1,500/month

• Rent while you wait: $1,200-$2,500/month
  

• Insurance on the build site: $150-$300/month

• Property taxes on undeveloped land: $200-$500/month

That's $2,350-$4,800/month in carrying costs. Over 5 extra months, you're looking at $12,000-$24,000 that never shows up on a contractor's quote.

It Gets Worse for Investors

If you're building to rent, every month of construction is a month of $0 rental income. A $2,000/month rental property that takes 5 months longer to complete costs you an additional $10,000 in lost revenue on top of carrying costs.
