FAQs

See our frequently asked questions:

How long does it take to manufacture and deliver a unit?

The average manufacturing time is 90 days, with shipping taking approximately 30 days, depending on your location. Total delivery time is typically 3.5 to 4 months from the date of order and deposit.

Is the ModiNEST winter-ready and 4-season capable?

Yes. All ModiNEST units are designed for year-round usage and built to meet North American climate standards. They include:

- Spray foam insulation
- Heat pump for heating and cooling
- Optional heated floors and antifreeze water supply for extreme winter conditions

Does the ModiNEST meet building codes in my province or state?

Local zoning and permit approvals vary, so we recommend confirming with your local municipality. ModiNEST is not designed to be a full-time living unit, garden suite, or additional dwelling unit, unless paired with the ModiVISTA. ModiNEST is suitable as a shed, office suite, temporary sleeping space, or other applications which may or may not require permits.

How does the setup process work?

The home is delivered to your property fully built. On-site setup involves:

- Crane offloading (client must arrange)
- Connecting plumbing and electrical to existing infrastructure or septic/waste tanks
- Foundation prep (slab-on-grade or optional helical piles)
- ModiNEST units are shipped fully assembled

You can either hire a local contractor for setup and installation, or our team offers setup services at an additional service cost for locations in Southern Ontario or the GTA. Our office is located in Oakville, Ontario. A property survey and site address are required for quoting.
