OUR PROCESS IS SIMPLE
At Honomobo we simplify the build process. Our team will work with you through the process from our initial accessibility consultation, designing and engineering both the Honomobo and foundation specific to your site and goals to handing you the keys to your new Honomobo Home.
STEP 1 - Accessibility Assessment
Accessibility Assessment - Site Visit (1-2 Weeks) - $2,300
This assessment is designed to review your property information for truck and crane logistics and to provide you with a budgetary estimate for the Honomobo, shipping, crane, assembly and conceptual design proposal to move onto the next step.
Below is a list of what is included:
Phone Consultation with your Sales Person
Accessibility review - Site Visit
Price for the Honomobo, complete with selected options from the Checklist of the model you are interested in
Budgetary Estimate for the shipping, crane work and on-site assembly
Conceptual Design Proposal to move onto Step 2
If a route survey is required for the Transport Trucks - this will be quoted on a per-project basis.
STEP 2 - Conceptual Design
Conceptual Design (4-5 weeks) - $5,500 (Single Story) $8,000 (Two Story)
Once we have completed the Accessibility Assessment and you have committed to the Conceptual Design, we will provide you with a 3D render package showing your Honomobo with the foundation of your choosing on your property.
Below is a list of what is included:
Design Brief Call with our Design Team
Review placement, orientation, foundation type, styling, budget, project goals
Zoning Verification
3D Render Package
1 Revision included
Drawings and Engineering Proposal to move onto Step 3
STEP 3 - Drawings and Engineering
Drawings and Engineering (Price starts at $10,000+ and project/location dependant) (6-8 weeks)
Once we have completed the Conceptual Design and you have committed to the Design and Engineering Proposal that we presented in Step 2, we will start on your architectural and engineered set drawings for your building permit submission. Below is a list of deliverables:
Development Permit (DP) Drawing Package
Site plan, floorplans, elevations, sections, and initial foundation design.
The first draft of your architectural set of drawings.
Some jurisdictions allow this as a Development Permit (planning) approval set where others required fully engineered and approved packages.
Engineering (Some or all of these scopes may be needed depending on the jurisdiction)
Structural Foundation design
Site-specific Engineer stamp for the Honomobo model
Energy calculations
Civil Engineering
Septic Design
Soil Report
Flood Zone Report
State approval of Honomobo plans
STEP 4 - State Review (Timeline - TBD)
The State review process involves the review of laws and standards under which modular home manufacturers have to operate within the State. These vary widely across the country and some States can be prohibitive with registration costs/bonds/etc… based on a single project basis.
STEP 5 - Permit Submittals
Once all architectural, engineering and certification documentation is complete, all drawings and accompanying documentation are compiled and can be submitted for Building Permits to your local building Officials for review and approval.
STEP 6 - 40% Start of Manufacturing Payment and Site Work Starts
The 40% Manufacturing Down Payment is due 75 days prior to the manufacturing start date.
This deposit puts you into the next available production spot and holds your pricing
The 40% Manufacturing Down Payment can be made prior to step 6 to secure a build spot and to hold your pricing
Honomobo orders the long lead items (HVAC, Windows, Steel, Appliances)
Your local contractor must begin site preparation and foundation work at this time.
Production starts on your Honomobo for your designated build spot
STEP 7 - 30% Manufacturing Progress Payment - Completed Structural Frame
This 30% manufacturing progress payment is due upon completion of the structural frame/exterior paint and prior to the start of Module complexing and Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing rough-in
STEP 8 - 30% Manufacturing Final Progress Payment
Upon completion of the Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing rough-in, the final 30% of the Honomobo is due. We complete the insulation, drywall, painting, all interior finishes and assemble the site materials required to connect the Honomobo together
10% of this payment will be held in a separate bank account and released upon a walkthrough sign off by the customer after installation onsite, less any deficiencies identified.
STEP 9 - 100% Shipping, crane and assembly payment
30 days prior to the scheduled shipping date, we will re-quote and provide you with the updated shipping, crane and assembly pricing
Payment is due 15 days prior to the scheduled shipping date
STEP 10 Delivery and Onsite Assembly
A mandatory site visit by our Honomobo Project Manager to review site foundation with your contractor for a fee of $1,800
Once we confirm that your site is ready to receive your Honomobo, we then book the crane, trucks and send the Honomobo assembly team to your site.
Once onsite, the Honomobo Assembly Team coordinates with the Crane Operator to land the individual modules onto the foundation and complete the Honomobo assembly (Approximately 7 days depending on the Honomobo model and scope of work).
The General Contractor then connects all site utilities to the home once the modules have landed and have been welded to the foundation.
Final walkthrough and keys are given to you
STEP 11 - Completion of Non-Honomobo site work
Decks, railings, stairs, main floor foundation etc. are completed by your contractor after the Honomobo is installed on the foundation.
STEP 12 - Move into your Honomobo!
