The Okanagan continues to be one of the most desirable regions in British Columbia for people looking to build a home that is efficient, modern, and built to last. With rising construction costs and longer traditional build timelines, more homeowners are turning to CSA-A277 certified modular homes as a faster, higher-quality alternative.
At West Coast Modular Homes, we design, manufacture, and deliver premium modular homes from our indoor facility in Coldstream, BC — right in the heart of the Okanagan. This case study showcases one of our recent modular home projects and demonstrates how our streamlined process and local expertise create exceptional results.
Project Overview
Location: Okanagan Region, BC
Model Type: Custom Modular Home (CSA-A277 Certified)
Size: Varies depending on project requirements
Scope: Design, manufacturing, delivery, site preparation coordination, and turnkey installation
The Client’s Goals
Our clients wanted a home that would deliver:
- Modern, functional living spaces
- Energy-efficient construction for year-round comfort
- Durable exterior materials suited for the Okanagan’s climate
- A faster build timeline compared to traditional construction
- Predictable pricing without ongoing change orders or seasonal delays
Modular construction aligned perfectly with these priorities.
Our Modular Build Process
1. Custom Design and Planning
Working closely with the homeowner, our team created a custom floorplan that blended open-concept living with practical space planning. The design included:
- Large windows to capture Okanagan lake and mountain views
- An efficient kitchen layout with solid-surface countertops
- High-quality vinyl plank flooring
- Optional upgrades such as vaulted ceilings and premium appliances
2. Indoor Construction — Built in Coldstream, BC
The home was built start-to-finish inside our local manufacturing facility at 9622 Hill Drive, Coldstream.
Indoor construction provides key advantages:
- No weather delays
- High-level quality control
- Precise workmanship
- Reduced material waste
Every home we build is fully inspected to meet CSA-A277 certification, ensuring a higher standard than many site-built homes.
3. Delivery and On-Site Setup
Once completed, the modular sections were transported to the client’s property using professional modular carriers. Our team coordinated:
- Site access
- Foundation alignment
- Crane or roll-on installation
- Final leveling, sealing, and finishing
4. Final Touches and Move-In
After installation, we completed the final interior details and ensured all utilities were properly connected and ready for occupancy. The homeowners were able to move in far sooner than a traditional site-built home would allow.
The Results
The completed home delivered:
- A modern, well-finished interior
- Superior energy efficiency suitable for the Okanagan climate
- Faster occupancy compared to conventional builds
- Full CSA-A277 certified construction quality
- Minimal site disruption during installation
This case study demonstrates how modular homes provide exceptional value in the Okanagan housing market.
Why Modular Homes Are Ideal for the Okanagan
