General Questions

Future Homes builds across Southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina. See our Where We Build page for specific counties and Design Center locations.

We’ve been building quality homes since 1993, helping more than 2,000 families achieve their dream of homeownership.

No. Our homes are modular, not mobile or manufactured. Once installed on your foundation, they become permanent, real property. Unlike mobile homes, modular homes are built to state and local building codes just like any typical stick-built home.

Modular and site-built homes use the same code book. The difference is that modular homes are constructed in a factory under controlled conditions, then transported and completed on your lot. This process improves quality, shortens timelines, and typically saves 10–20% compared to traditional stick-built homes.

Yes. Modular homes are built to the same state and local building codes as traditional homes, with the added benefit of precision construction and quality control in a climate-controlled factory.

Modular homes are built to be lifted and transported, making them extremely strong — often stronger than traditional stick-built homes. They are designed to withstand 150 mph winds and meet coastal and hurricane-rated standards.

FEMA studies show modular homes often perform better than traditional site-built homes in hurricanes. Built in a controlled environment and engineered to withstand transport and crane-setting, they create a tighter, stronger structure that meets or exceeds local wind and impact codes.

Customization & Design

Yes! Most of our homes can be customized inside and out. We can move walls, adjust layouts, add windows, change finishes, or make small tweaks to fit your vision—depending on the specific floor plan.

Absolutely. Our design and construction teams can adapt most plans — modular or traditional — to fit factory specifications and your personal style.

Yes. During your design consultation, you’ll select from a wide range of flooring, cabinetry, colors, and exterior finishes to personalize your home.

We can design and build custom porches, decks, garages, and other site-built additions to perfectly match your home.

Pricing & Financing

Our modular homes typically start in the following price ranges:
– Ranch homes: low $200,000s
– Coastal homes: low $300,000s
– Cape homes: mid $300,000s
– Two-story homes: $400,000s

Final pricing depends on the floor plan, customizations, selected finishes and site-specific work. Land is not included. Contact one of our design centers for a personalized estimate.

After we review your needs and wants, our home price will include everything needed to build and complete the home on your lot — permits, foundation, delivery, installation, porches, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing, hook-ups, and your selected finishes. Site-specific work (land clearing, septic/sewer, well/water, lines, driveways, etc.) is estimated and included separately since every property is unique.

Because much of the work is done in a factory, modular homes save man hours, save time, reduce material waste, and avoid weather delays — translating into real cost and time savings for homeowners.

We connect clients with trusted local lenders who specialize in home construction loans. The financing available to traditional building applies to our homes as well. You can use Conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA loans.

Our Project Coordinators will guide you through budgeting and pricing. Then, refer you to lenders for pre-approval and financing before building begins.

Quality, Efficiency & Features

Our homes are built with high-performance insulation, windows, and HVAC systems, often exceeding state energy standards and helping to lower monthly utility bills.

We are Energy Star Ready, partnering with factories that prioritize sustainability, energy efficiency, and reduced waste throughout the building process.

We include a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty with each home. This warranty provides a 1 Year Workmanship Warranty, a 2 Year Distribution Systems Warranty (plumbing, electrical, ductwork), and a 10 Year Structural Warranty.

Locations, Land & Model Homes

Yes. We have decades of experience with coastal and elevated foundations, flood zone construction, and hurricane-resistant features.

Our homes are designed and built to the coastal wind codes of North and South Carolina, which are rated for 150 mph wind.

Ask us to look at it with you. Our team provides professional land evaluations to assess access, clearing needs, septic permitting, well permitting, flood zone and surveying, before construction begins.

Not necessarily! If you’re still looking, we can review lots you’re considering and help ensure it is suitable for construction.

Yes. We can coordinate land purchase and home financing as one simplified project through trusted local lenders.

Absolutely. Visit our Portfolio page to see completed homes or stop by one of our Model Home Centers for in-person tours.

Yes! Each of our three design centers showcases several model homes so you can explore different layouts and finishes firsthand.
