process

To build a new home on any property, the owner must obtain a property survey and geotechnical soils report from qualified engineers.

After electing to work with Marmol Radziner Prefab, the owner will need to execute a contract for architectural design services. We can design a completely new house to your specifications or adapt a pre-designed plan to suit your needs and property requirements. During the design process, we engage the necessary engineers to develop structural and civil plans (as needed). In this phase, we also develop working budgets for the home’s construction.

We work directly with city planning and building departments to obtain planning approvals and secure required building permits.

As soon as permits are acquired, construction can begin. Our role then depends on the project’s location:

A.If the project is in California, we can serve as the General Contractor/Builder. In this capacity, we provide detailed cost proposals for the house, including everything from the site work to the prefab modules and their installation.

B.If the project is in another part of the country, we connect you with a qualified builder who will execute the local construction and coordinate the delivery and installation of the prefab modules from one of our approved factory partners. We will guide you through obtaining and evaluating builder cost proposals.

Once you are comfortable with the process and cost to proceed, you will execute a construction contract with us or a qualified local builder. Site construction of foundations and utilities begin in tandem with the prefab module factory production, allowing the modules to be ready for delivery shortly after the foundation is complete. Once delivered and installed, the modules typically require another 2-3 months to be “buttoned up” in preparation for move in.
