Buyer Guide: How to Evaluate & Order Modular Buildings
This guide is written for global developers, builders, and trade buyers who need to understand factory procurement, LGS specifications, and logistics boundaries before requesting a commercial quote.
Lead time assumptions
Lead time depends on quantity, layout changes, finish requests, and the exact document package required for the project. The website should describe lead time as quote-stage guidance rather than a fixed promise.
Shipping and unloading scope
The folded unit, loading logic, port routing, inland transport, and unloading responsibilities need to be discussed clearly before quoting. This is especially important for remote or regional delivery paths.
Installation boundaries
Factory supply does not automatically mean local site installation, utility connection, or approvals are included. Buyers need a clean split between supplier scope and local contractor scope.
Customization rules
Not every product change should be implied as standard. The site should frame customization as a scoped discussion with impact on price, lead time, and documentation.
Documentation expectations
Buyers may ask for drawings, specifications, certificates, or transport-related documents. The correct answer is to define what can be shared at quote stage and what remains project-specific.
Can I use this as a granny flat or secondary dwelling?
Possibly, but that depends on state and local approval pathways. The site should use granny flat for discoverability while making clear that secondary dwelling is often the planning term.
Is installation included?
Not by default. Factory supply, loading, and transport assumptions can be discussed, but local cranage, footings, utility connection, and approvals are normally project-specific.
How should I describe my project when requesting a quote?
Include your role, country or region, intended use, quantity, timeline, and the level of customization you expect so the supplier can assess fit quickly.

Use these standard plans as a starting point before requesting a tailored quote or custom configuration review.
