Cohousing-L Mailing List: Modular Cohousing?

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Hi, David,

We did build our initial twelve homes with Westchester Modular, a high end 
modular company.  
We didn’t save a ton of money exactly,  we did have great efficiency of time 
and predictability of homes being delivered:  a great factor.
And knowing that modular tends to be efficient, less wasteful.   Before moving, 
 in my previous area I saw a modular home coming in and it was for a 
contractor.  We spoke and while he did stick building for a living, he had 
inspected modulars and saw it was the best way to go for his own home.

Wishing you well,
Ruth

Subject: [C-L]_ Modular Cohousing?

Has anyone built a cohousing community using modular construction, to make it 
more affordable?

We?re planning to have a cohousing community at Mirador Astronomy Village, and 
modular seems worth considering given a rural--even remote--location and the 
additional expense and challenges that implies.

Thanks,

David Oesper
