There are many different types of kit homes available today. Any kit home manufacturer may have a variety of standard models on hand, and the beginning costs may be published on their website or brochure. Kit home prices from a single brand might begin at anything from $35,000 to as much as $1 million.
Although there may be additional costs for labour and installation, every product is priced separately. A "lock up" kit may cost as much as 20% more than the frame alone, while a "full kit" can cost 35% to 40% more than the frame alone. The cost of kit homes is affected by the options you pick, such as whether or not you want timber or steel frames, cladding and roofing materials, colors and even styles. Some kit home constructors offer custom designs that may cost more if none of the manufacturer's standard designs appeal to you.
