Modular Homes
Your Home, Built in
Weeks — Not Years.
Vakker Group designs and delivers fully custom modular homes — from foundation to furnishing. Using advanced prefabricated concrete construction, we build faster than traditional methods without compromise on quality, finish, or design. Every project includes Vakkerlight signature lighting, custom furniture, and every finish you specify.
From a waterfront home in the Cayman Islands to a fully furnished hotel module shipped by ocean freight to Fiji — Vakker's track record spans residential, commercial, educational, and hospitality projects across four continents. Every project below is built, delivered, and occupied. These are not renders or concepts. They are real buildings.
Four Ready-to-Build Models. No Design Wait.
These are our pre-engineered standard models — structural drawings, MEP layouts, and material specifications are complete. Selecting from this library is the fastest path from decision to delivery. Interior finishes are customised within each structural envelope. All sizes listed are factory floor area; corridor and porch areas vary by configuration.
Elevated
A single-story module available in two site configurations: a stilted design with an integrated carport and shaded outdoor living deck beneath the main floor, or a ground-level plan with an optional glass sunroom. Despite its compact footprint, the BD3 delivers a complete living arrangement — bedroom, bathroom, full kitchen, and open-plan dining and living — within 505 square feet. Ideal for vacation properties, guesthouses, and ADUs.
Cabin
An intimate two-bedroom home defined by its dramatic gable roofline with full-height clerestory glazing — flooding the interior with natural light from ridge to plate. At 24'11" wide and 26'3" deep, the J60s ships as a single module and can be placed on a concrete pier foundation with minimal site preparation. A generous covered front porch extends the living area outdoors year-round, making this the ideal model for rural and semi-rural sites.
Standard
Our most popular residential model for family use, available in two floor plan configurations. The 10-meter-wide structure accommodates dual front and rear porches, two full bathrooms, and a dedicated laundry zone — all within a building footprint of 1,292 sq ft including corridors. The distinctive gable roof with full-height clerestory glazing gives the BD5 an architectural presence well beyond its price point. Configuration A maximizes bedroom count; Configuration B prioritizes storage and a full laundry room.
Residence
The largest model in our standard library. The BD6s delivers three bedrooms — including a master suite with private ensuite and wardrobe in Configuration A — alongside a covered terrace, laundry room, and a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen zone. At 30'9" wide and up to 41'3" deep, this is the closest the standard range comes to a full-scale family home, while still shipping as a complete, pre-finished module directly from our factory.
Ten Questions We'll Ask — and Why They Matter
A modular home is not a product you buy off the shelf. Every project begins with a feasibility assessment. These are the ten questions our team will work through with you — understanding them upfront will dramatically shorten the path from enquiry to groundbreaking.
What are the site conditions?
Before anything else, the site must be assessed for physical deliverability. Our concrete modules are large — they arrive by flatbed truck and are placed by crane. This means the site and surrounding roads must accommodate that.
Which US state — and does it support modular construction?
Location is one of the most significant factors in feasibility — not because of building regulations alone, but because of freight economics. Our modules ship from China to a US West Coast port (Los Angeles or Long Beach). From there, trucking costs escalate the further inland you go.
State modular codes: Most US states maintain a dedicated modular building program. California (HCD), Florida (DCA), and Washington (L&I) have established pathways. Texas regulates at the county level. We work with a network of approved third-party inspection agencies who can certify our modules for state-specific compliance — but this process, timeline, and cost varies significantly by state.
What is the delivery address — and can you accept the freight cost?
To calculate a real cost, we need a physical delivery address. Freight is not an add-on — it is a fundamental component of the project budget and must be assessed early. There is no point designing a home for a site where the logistics are not viable.
Once we have your address, our team will calculate ocean freight (China to US port), port handling and customs clearance, and inland trucking to site. We will present this as a line item in your cost summary — transparent and itemised, so you can make an informed decision before committing to a design.
Do you need a standard design — or a fully custom project?
This is the most important question in determining whether your project is currently viable. Our answer is direct: small single-unit orders do not support custom design.
If you are a land developer, community builder, or investor planning a multi-unit project, custom design is very much on the table. The economics change entirely at scale — and our track record (436 dormitory modules, 175 isolation cabins, 74 commercial units) demonstrates we can deliver.
Are there special structural requirements for your location?
The United States has some of the world's most demanding and geographically diverse building codes. Our standard structural specification will need to be reviewed against local requirements — and in some zones, enhanced.
What does it actually cost?
Our standard 4S specification (4-bedroom, 2-bathroom) includes all hard finishes: flooring, wall finishes, bathroom and kitchen fit-out, built-in wardrobes, and all interior doors. This is the factory exit price — the cost of the module leaving our production facility in China. All costs below are factory-gate, before freight, site work, or installation.
Standard or Plus — what level of specification do you want?
The standard 4S specification is a comprehensive, high-quality finish. But some clients require premium appliance brands, stone countertops, smart home integration, custom joinery, or hospitality-grade bathroom fittings. This is our Plus specification — individually costed based on your selections.
- —Premium laminate or engineered timber flooring
- —Painted wall finishes throughout
- —Full bathroom fit-out (vanity, shower, WC)
- —Kitchen cabinetry and benchtop
- —Built-in wardrobes and interior doors
- —Vakkerlight lighting package
- —Natural stone or large-format tile flooring
- —Stone benchtops, custom cabinetry
- —Named appliance brands (Sub-Zero, Miele, etc.)
- —Smart home automation (Lutron, Control4)
- —Hospitality-grade bathroom fittings
- —Custom furniture and soft furnishing package
Building permits, approvals, and US regulatory compliance
This is the most complex aspect of a first US project — and we are honest that it is where the work is concentrated. In the US, modular homes must comply with both federal HUD standards (for manufactured housing) or state-administered modular programs, and local county or municipality requirements.
Our track record: We have one completed and occupied international project (Cayman Islands). In Australia, we successfully navigated the approval and bank finance pathway after initial difficulties — and Australian banks now accept our modular construction model. The US pathway is more complex, and we are transparent that our first completed US project will establish important precedents for financing and approval.
What does the first US project actually require?
We are transparent about where we are: we are actively seeking to complete our first US residential project. That first project is valuable to us beyond its commercial value — it establishes our approval pathway, our installation methodology, and our financing precedent for all future US projects.
- —A viable site with confirmed access and planning permission in principle
- —Willingness to participate in the approval process and work with our nominated professionals
- —A local licensed General Contractor who will manage on-site set and installation
- —A confirmed payment pathway (cash, construction loan, or investor-backed)
- —Factory-produced, fully finished modules at agreed specification
- —Full structural and MEP documentation for approval submission
- —Assistance identifying state-approved TPIs and local architects
- —Ocean freight management and US port delivery coordination
- —Preferential pricing on the first US project in exchange for reference rights
Can you finance the project — and are US banks ready?
A complete modular home is a significant capital investment. Few buyers pay entirely in cash, and construction finance is complex for modular — particularly for first-of-kind projects where lenders have no local comparable.
In Australia, our modular program initially stalled at the bank finance stage. Australian lenders were unfamiliar with Chinese-manufactured modules and required additional structural certification before approving construction loans. We resolved this — Australian banks now accept our model — but the process took time and required documentation effort.
In the United States, we do not yet have an established banking relationship for modular construction loans. This is our honest position. The most straightforward current pathways are: cash purchase, private investor or developer financing, or a construction-to-permanent loan from a lender already familiar with modular construction (a number of specialist lenders in California and the Pacific Northwest are experienced in this area).
All Vakker modular homes can be fully furnished and lit before shipping — validated by our Fiji hotel prototype, which shipped by ocean freight as a complete furnished module and arrived move-in ready.
