Our Streamlined Ordering Process

Building your dream home should be an exciting journey, not a stressful one. We’ve refined our ordering process into clear, manageable steps, guiding you from initial concept to move-in day.

1. Choose Your Design

Start by selecting your ideal home. You can either pick from our collection of predesigned floor plans or opt for a custom floor plan to be tailored to your vision. If you choose a custom plan, an architect experienced in modular design and construction will ensure it meets your specific needs and adheres to all building codes.

2. Site Feasibility Study (If Needed)

Some sites require a feasibility study to assess their suitability for modular construction. We'll help you determine if this step is necessary for your property.

3. Financial Planning

Let's ensure your project is financially sound. We'll work with you to confirm your budget aligns with your chosen design and help you understand the financing options available. Lender approval is a key step here, ensuring your project can move forward smoothly.

4. Select Your Finishes

This is where your personal style shines! Browse our catalog to pick your finishes and upgrades, from flooring to fixtures. Your salesperson will be on hand to assist you in finalizing these selections and determining the complete cost of your modular home.

5. Sign the Contract

Once all details are confirmed and you're happy with your choices, you'll sign the contract, officially kicking off your home-building journey.

6. Engineering and State Approval

We take your approved plans and begin the meticulous engineering process. This includes essential calculations for energy efficiency ("Title 24"), structural integrity for both your modular home and its foundation, and fire sprinkler designs. This phase typically takes about six weeks. Afterward, we'll submit your plans for state approval, a review process that usually takes four to six weeks, culminating in stamped approval of your plans.

7. Factory Manufacturing & Site Preparation

With your local permits in hand, two exciting things happen simultaneously: the factory begins constructing your modular home (a process that typically takes about twelve weeks), while your hired contractor starts preparing your site.

8. Your Home's Grand Transformation

Watch your home site transform before your eyes! From a prepared foundation to a fully assembled custom home, the final stages are swift. After all on-site work is completed and passes inspection, a final inspection by the local building inspector will be performed. Upon successful completion of this final inspection, the local building authority will issue your Certificate of Occupancy, which is required before you can legally move into and occupy your new modular home. Your new home will be ready for you to move in approximately 30 days after delivery.

We at RDC look forward to guiding you through this process and building you the home of your dreams. Contact us Today!
