Start Building Your Modular Home with Heritage Custom Builders

Building a new home is one of the most exciting milestones in life. At Heritage Custom Builders, we make the process seamless and stress-free. As premier custom builders in Michigan, we guide you every step of the way—from setting your budget to moving into your dream modular home. Follow our step-by-step guide to bring your vision to life.

Step 1: Set Your Budget and Secure Financing

 

Understanding your budget is the first step toward building your dream home. Modular homes, like all site-built homes, are eligible for traditional financing. We recommend keeping your monthly loan payments between 25–33% of your monthly gross income.

​

Not sure where to start? Consult your local lender or let us connect you with a trusted mortgage specialist. Getting prequalified ensures you’ll know upfront what size and style of home fits your budget.

​

Step 2: Choose Your Home

 

What style of home suits your family? From ranches to Cape Cods to two-story homes, we offer a wide range of modular designs to meet every need. Whether you're looking for a spacious layout for a growing family or a cozy design for retirement, our floor plans are fully customizable.

​

Browse our floor plans online or visit our design center to explore all the options. Our team will help you narrow down the choices to find the perfect fit.

​

Step 3: Select Your Building Site

​

One of the best parts of building a modular home is choosing the perfect location. Whether you already own land or are searching for the ideal lot, we’re here to help.

​

We can inspect your site to ensure it meets all requirements, including:

  • Adequate road/driveway access

  • Compliance with local regulations and setbacks

  • Suitability for the home style you’ve chosen

​

Step 4: Place Your Order and Sign the Purchase Agreement

​

Once you’ve chosen your floor plan and secured financing, it’s time to place your order. One of our sales consultants will guide you through the process and provide a purchase agreement to begin production on your new home. A deposit is typically required upon signing the agreement.

​

Step 5: Delivery and Move In

​

While your home is being built at the Ritz-Craft production facility, we’ll prepare your lot and foundation. Approximately 6–8 weeks after your order, your modular home will be delivered to your site.

​

Our team will handle the rest, including:

  • Setting the home on its foundation

  • Completing heating, plumbing, and electrical systems

  • Adding optional features like porches and garages

 

Within a few weeks, your custom modular home will be ready for move in. Welcome home!
