Ultimate Guide to Site Preparation for Your Factory Built Certified Modular Cabin

This how-to post walks homeowners through getting a property ready before a modular cabin arrives, in seven steps: choosing a level, well-drained site with good truck access (noting a modular install usually leaves mature trees standing, unlike a site build); checking local zoning, permits, and — for anyone in an HOA or POA — the covenant agreement before starting any work; and prepping a foundation, whether pier and beam, slab, or crawl space, by compacting the ground and clearing roots or rocks so Leland's engineering team can confirm the right connection points for that foundation type.

It also covers lining up utility hookups by checking with local providers, calling 811 before any digging to locate existing lines, widening or clearing the driveway so delivery trucks can get through safely, and doing a final debris cleanup once other prep work is done. It closes by noting that transportation and installation are overseen by the manufacturer, and recommends sending photos or video of the planned cabin placement to a sales rep ahead of time to help the delivery go smoothly.
