Modal Homes Review

Modal is a designer and builder of prefab ADUs based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They offer 3 styles of ADUs, with pre-designed floor plans ranging from 338 square feet to 567 square feet. In terms of design, their ADUs feature a sleek modern style with sliding glass doors, wide rectangular windows, birch clad walls, black timber, black tile, and flat roofs. Limited customization options and upgrades are available.

Modal’s ADUs are built in a warehouse to the International Building Code (IBC). It is worth noting that Modal offers end-to-end services; They handle all design, manufacturing, permitting, delivery, installation, and on-site work. ADUs come with electrical, plumbing, heating. A/C, furniture, a fridge, an oven, a dishwasher, a full-size bathroom, and complete cabinetry. Homes are shipped 100% finished, leaving very little on-site work to be done. Their ADUs take 2-4 months to permit, with 2-3 days of site work, 2 weeks to build, and only 1 day to install. The entire process can be finished in under 6 months.

Strengths
