Who is EcoFab Modular Homes?
EcoFab is the local Moduline Industries dealer for the Sunshine Coast. We operate under the umbrella of Amco Homes in Nanaimo who are the regional distributors. Amco Homes is a family-owned business since 1974 with hundreds of satisfied customers on the Island as well as on the Sunshine Coast.

How much does a modular home cost?
The price varies according to several factors including the location of the property, access to power and water, the terrain of the proposed site, foundation options, finishing upgrades etc. Starting price is about $70,000 for a 1Br./ studio. Typically the base cost per square foot is between $220.for a smaller unit or $160. per sq. ft for a larger 3 bedroom home. This does not include upgraded foundation, utilities, delivery, and setup costs.
What other costs are involved?
Other expenses besides the home itself include a foundation, building permits, delivery to site, site setup and utilities hook up. We can arrange for a qualified local contractor to quote you on these.
Can you arrange the building permit or engineering study if required?
Although many homeowners will arrange their building permits, EcoFab does employ a qualified project manager who will oversee your permit application process, arrange a geotechnical survey if required, coordinate the different trades required for foundation and utilities as well as oversee the entire project. This is an additional service and the fee depends on the complexity of the project. Contact us for more information.
Can I customize my new home?
There are several options for upgrading both exterior and interior finishes as well as appliances bathroom fixtures skylights type of roof etc. A complete list of available options with prices is available by request.
What are the local building permit requirements?
Depending on where on the coast you live there are different zoning regulations and requirements in effect. Some jurisdictions will allow a secondary home on your property while others will have certain restrictions. A recently passed provincial Law now allows for ALR zoned areas to add an additional residential unit. Contact us for details of your specific property.
