From Foundation to Front Door: How a Modular Home Is Set

There’s nothing quite like the moment a new modular home is placed on its foundation. For families, it’s the day when dreams start to look like reality. For our crew at Premier Homes in Farmersburg, Indiana, it’s the result of careful planning, craftsmanship, and teamwork.

Step 1: Preparing the Site

Before a modular home ever arrives, the site is carefully prepared. The foundation is prepared, utilities are planned, and the lot is cleared and leveled. This is one of the most important steps in the modular home process, because it ensures the installation goes smoothly and the home will stand strong for years to come. We’ve worked with the same reliable contractors for decades, ensuring that this important part of the process is handled with expert care. 

Step 2: Delivery Day

When delivery day arrives, excitement fills the air. Large trucks bring the sections of the home, called modules, to the site. It’s not every day you see a modular home making its way down a quiet country road.

Step 3: The Crane Lift

One of the most memorable parts of the home setting process is watching a crane lift each section into place. Piece by piece, the modules are lowered onto the foundation with careful precision. For families, this is often the moment they take photos for the family album, capturing the day their affordable home began to take shape.

Step 4: Sealing and Securing

After the modules are set, our team begins connecting, sealing, and securing everything together. Utilities are tied in, weatherproofing is completed, and every detail is inspected for quality. This step is what transforms multiple modules into one strong, efficient, and beautiful modular home.

Step 5: The Finishing Touches

Finally, finishing touches like trim, flooring, and detail work are completed. Within days, the project shifts from “construction site” to “welcome home.” 

A Day Worth Remembering

For families, setting their modular home is the first page of a new story. For us at Premier Homes in Farmersburg, it’s why we do what we do: helping people find an affordable housing option in Indiana that feels like home from day one.
