You have some basic options also to add to your list, like the foundation you choose for the house to sit on, and even better is the option to put SERIOUS HURRICANE ANCHORS under the home which will give you and your family a big advantage in stormy weather that stickbuilt wont match, absolutely. Ever.

Then plan your layout of the foundation to take account of the site's wind/weather features, ours doesn't sit parallel to the street and benefits from boating ideas on orientation.

The other key is to get to know the sales people because some are hugely more knowledgeable and helpful. Then look at timing for placement since doing a winter or wetness time setup is an invitation to disastrous working damage to landscaping and drainage. Most of these choices are in your own control. Buying stickbuilt is way less controllable because of the more extended times, weather and other variables.

Ask how many repetitions of the design the factory has already built? And make sure the one you will get comes from a factory where the kinks in the design have been worked out at the construction quality end. Otherwise the trim-stuff will be not so well fitted and will require that you go through the home thoroughly DURING THE WARRANTEE PERIOD and report what is poorly fitted. And a manufacturer with a good reputation and good work force relations is also figurable.

The other thing this analysis misses on savings is the amount of clever engineering that goes into the BASIC design. So that material waste is minimized. In stickbuilt homes you pay for nearly double the materials you actually used. Engineering and waste control planning.

Part of the quality is in the choices made by the owner at order time. Better yet, it was much less expensive to add quality structural and insulation features than the goosey luxury 'enhancements'. 2x6 construction was easy on the bill.

We opted out of the rugs so that we could put our own radiant floor in with special features. No problem.
