Building your dream home is exciting, and with a transportable home, the process is often much faster than traditional construction. But even with the efficiencies of off-site building, keeping your project on schedule requires careful planning and proactive management. Here’s how you can stay on track and move into your new home without unnecessary delays.

A well-thought-out plan is the foundation of an on-time project. Before construction begins, make sure you have:

• A finalised home design
• A realistic budget
• A site that is ready for installation (permits approved, groundwork prepared)
• A timeline agreed upon with your builder

Having these elements in place from the start minimises surprises and helps everything flow smoothly.

Your builder plays a huge role in meeting your timeline. Look for a company with a proven track record of delivering projects on time. Ask about their process, how they handle unexpected delays, and whether they provide a detailed project schedule.

At Exeter Homes, we follow a structured process to keep timelines tight, ensuring your home is delivered when promised

Permits and site preparation can cause delays if not handled in advance. While your home is being built off-site, make sure the land is ready with proper foundations, utility connections, and approvals. The sooner this is done, the sooner your home can be delivered and installed. Exeter Homes can take care of this, so you don’t have to worry.

One of the biggest causes of project delays is late-stage design changes. Once construction has started, making changes to your home’s layout, materials, or features can set things back. Try to finalise all decisions before building begins.

Keeping in touch with your builder ensures you’re updated on progress and can address any concerns quickly. Regular check-ins allow you to anticipate potential delays and resolve issues before they become major problems.

Once your home is built, transporting and installing it on your site should be a seamless process. However, it requires coordination. Make sure:

• Your site is accessible for delivery
• Utilities are ready for connection
• You have temporary housing if needed while the final setup is completed

Even with careful planning, unexpected issues like weather, material shortages, or permit delays can arise. Having a backup plan, such as flexibility with your move-in date or alternative living arrangements, helps reduce stress if small delays occur.
