Our prefab sequence is simple
At MicroHome we simplify the build process into what we call the Prefab Sequence. Our team will work with you through the Prefab Sequence from our initial accessibility review, and we have designs that are Pre-Engineered for both the MicroHome and foundation specific to your site. We have a Slab option for flat sites and a steel/ raised floor option for sloped sites to have unlimited access for your new MicroHome.
For a complete breakdown of each of the Prefab Sequence steps, please click on each topic to expand.
STEP ONE – Option One. Site Access/ Feasibility Consultation
Option One – Easy Access Assessment – No Site Visit (1-2 Days) – $495
If you feel confident that your property will not have any issues with respect to site accessibility by a flatbed truck (up to 75ft in length) and crane accessing within 30ft of the desired building location, we suggest going with this option. This assessment is designed to review your property information for truck and crane logistics and to provide you with a budgetary estimate for the MicroHome, shipping, crane, installation and schematic design proposal to move onto the next steps
Below is a list of what is included:
- Phone Consultation with your Sales Person
- Site Access overview
- If we feel that a large semi truck and crane or forklift will have issues accessing the site we will recommend a site visit to measure the access path and to discuss with your GC a truck staging and crane lift plan

- Price for the MicroHome, complete with selected options from the Checklist of the model you are interested in
- Budgetary Estimate for the shipping, crane work and on-site installation:
- $245,000 For the Essential
- Schematic Design Proposal to move onto Step 2
STEP ONE – Option Two. Site Access/ Feasibility Consultation
Option Two – Custom Site Access – Site Visit (1-2 Weeks) – $2,500
If you are uncertain with site accessibility with respect to a flatbed truck (up to 75ft in length) and crane accessing within 30ft of the desired building location, we suggest going with the site visit option. This assessment is designed to review your property information for truck and crane logistics and to provide you with a budgetary estimate for the MicroHome, shipping, crane, installation and schematic design proposal to move onto the next step.
