At MIRA Residential, we believe that cost transparency is essential. We’re committed to helping our clients understand the real expenses involved in building, delivering and installing a modular home in Western Australia, so you can plan confidently and build without surprises.
1. What’s Included in the Base Price?
The cost of a modular home in Western Australia varies depending on size, design complexity, inclusions and site conditions. Every MIRA home starts with a comprehensive inclusions package or ‘base price’. This covers design and drafting, structural components, factory construction, standard finishes (flooring, cabinetry, tiling), kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings.
2. Customisation and Upgrades
Want to add an extra bathroom, polished concrete floors, a deck or premium tapware? Modular homes are fully customisable, and with each upgrade, we provide transparent pricing. During your design consultation, we walk you through available options and ensure you stay within your comfort zone, whether that means sticking to a set budget or investing in lifestyle-enhancing features.
3. Site Costs and Regional Factors
Site-related costs can vary depending on your block. Sloped land, remote access, bushfire zoning (BAL ratings), or poor soil conditions may require additional works like engineered foundations or transport logistics. These are assessed early in the process and quoted clearly so you’re never in the dark.
If you’re building in a regional or remote area of WA, MIRA provides tailored cost breakdowns that account for distance, service availability, and compliance requirements. We will also include a complimentary site visit to ensure we plan appropriately for your block.
4. Fixed Price Contracts
One of the biggest financial advantages of modular construction is cost certainty. Traditional builds often suffer from delays and material price hikes that can send budgets spiralling. MIRA’s modular process allows us to offer fixed-price contracts, meaning you know the final cost from the start.
That peace of mind is invaluable, especially in unpredictable market conditions.
5. Financing
Financing is available through standard home loans, although progress payments may differ slightly from traditional builds.
From a resale perspective, well-built modular homes retain their value just like conventional properties. In many cases, the speed of delivery and lower lifetime running costs make them a better long-term investment.
Every project is unique, and that’s why we begin with a personal consultation to tailor a quote that reflects your goals and site conditions.
