What do Domino Prefab Homes Cost?

Domino Prefab homes on average cost 20-40% less than custom, architect designed, site built homes. The average total project price for a home (including architect’s fees, structural engineering fees, foundation design, permit coordination, builder costs, and interior finishes) ranges from $350-$450/sq. foot. This is a national average. Your site conditions (location, topography, soil conditions, etc.) and choice of finishes will impact the total project cost.

How long does it take to build a home?

The time from order placement depends on several variables, though it can be up to a year faster than a traditional site-built home. Once a building permit is issued, your new home will typically be ready in for delivery in approximately 10-12 weeks.

What is included in a Domino Prefab Modular Home?

Our modular prefab homes are fully finished inside and out, complete with paint, lighting and plumbing fixtures, cabinets, wood flooring, countertops and all electrical and plumbing systems. 

How complete is the home when it’s delivered?

Our homes are about 95% complete when delivered. It’s largely a matter of attaching the home to the foundation, connecting utilities and completing our comprehensive set-up and trim-out process.


Read your Homeowner’s Manual and component booklets carefully. They contain important, helpful information about your new home, its components and the care and maintenance your home requires.


 
 

Where do I find the TV and telephone hookup connections?

The phone connection tie in can be found on the back-door side of the home approximately 20 feet toward the middle of the home along the back wall. There should be a sticker along the bottom edge of the home designating the connection is underneath and along a floor joist about 1 foot inside the bottom board covering.

All TV connections are straight drops through the bottom board from each jack. There will be no splitters or junction boxes.


My outdoor plugs are not working. How do I reset them?

Your outside plugs are rated for 15 amps. Skill saws, electric weed eaters or anything that pulls more than 15 amps will trip the exterior plugs. The exterior receptacles are powered off by a master GFI receptacle inside the home, usually located on an outer wall closest to where the outside receptacle is. There are no mastered GFI plugs in a bath or kitchen.


Why do my recessed lights keep flickering and going off by themselves?

In most instances the cause is as simple as having the wrong type bulb in the fixture. These light fixtures have a heat sensor that will turn the light off if the can light overheats. They are rated for a 40 amp bulb that resembles a floodlight bulb but with a coating on the outside so that the heat from the bulb is directed down and out of the can. Be sure you are using the correct type and size bulb in your recessed lights.


Why does my microwave vent hood come on by itself when I am cooking?

Some of the newer built in microwave/vent hoods have a humidity sensor. When it senses the heat and/or humidity has reached a certain point the fan will turn on automatically.

 

I am not getting any water to my dishwasher/icemaker. What should I do?

Make certain the cut off valves have been opened all the way. Turn the appliance on as well as all of the faucets in your home to bleed all the air out of the plumbing lines. Domino Prefab homes are quality inspected to hold a required pressure of air for a certain amount of time. There is air that will remain in the lines. It will have to be bled out before the water will come in the lines. This is normal and nothing to worry about.


What is the Data Plate and where is it located?

The data plate contains the serial number, the date your home was manufactured, and other information about your home that you may need when you call your retailer, manufacturer, lender, 2/10 warranty service, or insurance agent. The data plate is affixed to the outside of the electrical panel box.
