Modular homes have become increasingly popular thanks to their efficiency, low cost and unlimited customization possibilities. But what is it like to live in one? To find the real answers, we interviewed several modular home owners who shared their experiences with us, from the first idea to moving into their new home.
Why a modular home?
Andrei, 35 years old, Bucharest:
"I chose a modular house for time and budget reasons. I was renting and was under pressure to find a quick solution for my family. Modular houses offer much shorter construction time and more predictable costs. Plus, the modern design caught my eye immediately."
Maria, 42, Brasov:
"For me, the decision was about sustainability. I wanted an energy-efficient home with minimal environmental impact. Modular houses are excellent from this point of view, especially as they use modern materials and very good insulation."
What was the construction process like?
Alex, 29, Cluj:
"I was impressed by how fast everything moved. From the signing of the contract to the actual delivery and installation was just a few months. Compared to a classic construction, which can take a year or more, the difference is huge."
Ioana, 38, Constanta:
"The company I worked with always kept me up to date. I had the opportunity to customize every detail - from the layout of the rooms to the finishes. The only challenge was deciding on the color of the exterior walls, but the team provided me with samples and suggestions, which was very helpful."
Life in a modular home: Is it different?
Elena, 45, Sibiu:
"I didn't feel any difference between my modular house and a traditionally built house. It is just as solid, well insulated and comfortable. What I like most is that I have everything exactly as I wanted - no wasted space, everything optimized."
Mihai, 50, Iași:
"I was initially afraid that a modular house would seem less "sustainable". But after the first year of living here, I can say that it's more efficient than my old home. Energy bills have halved thanks to the excellent insulation."
Costs and savings
Ana, 32, Timisoara:
"At first, I was skeptical about the cost. Everything seemed too good to be true. But I quickly realized that the savings are real. Not only the construction price was lower, but also the maintenance is cheaper, thanks to the modern materials used."
Cristian, 40, Oradea:
"I used to pay a fortune on heating my house. Now, with the new modular house, which has sandwich panels and quality double-glazed windows, the costs have come down considerably. Plus, we installed solar panels, which was another step towards energy independence."
What would they change if they made the decision again?
Raluca, 37, Galati:
"The only thing I would do differently would be to choose a bigger plot. I wish I had more space for a terrace or a garden. Otherwise, I have no complaints."
Vlad, 48, Arad:
"I would start the process earlier. I spent a lot of time thinking if it's a good choice. Now, after seeing the results, I regret not taking the step earlier."
Conclusions: Is a modular home for you?
Interviews with these homeowners show that, regardless of age, location or reasons, modular homes are a modern, practical and efficient solution. Whether you want a family home or a holiday home, their advantages - reduced construction time, lower costs and customization possibilities - are hard to match.
If you are considering a modular home, consider the experiences of those who have already taken the plunge. Analyse your needs, establish a budget and contact a specialized firm for a consultation. Such an investment can transform not only your home, but also your lifestyle.
