Your property still needs approvals, foundations, utilities, site preparation and a safe installation plan.
Online prices often describe the factory product only. ARU develops a complete project picture before you commit.

Choose the Right Method
Modular Versus Conventional Construction
The right approach depends on your lot, access, budget and design goals.
| Project Factor | Modular | Site-Built |
|---|---|---|
| Construction Location | Primarily in a controlled factory | Primarily on the property |
| Design Flexibility | Defined modules and options | Greater custom-design freedom |
| Backyard Activity | Can reduce on-site building time | More work completed on the property |
| Special Logistics | Transportation, crane and delivery access | Material deliveries and site sequencing |
| Best Suited To | Accessible properties fitting a defined product | Complex lots or custom requirements |
