We can currently reach the contiguous US and Canada.
 
What is the cost to deliver a Hive Modular home?
Delivery is the responsibility of the homeowner, but we will help you coordinate. Historically, costs are approximately $5.00 for each mile of travel (plus fuel surcharge, pilot cars, and permits) of each truck from the factory that will be serving your area. A truck length is 64', so combinations of modules that add up to less than 60' will save on shipping expenses (a detail and efficiency that has been factored into the standard designs). Cost of delivery will be included in the preliminary pricing estimate. This per mile price does not include special considerations that may be required by your locality for pilot cars, escorts, etc.
 
Are there access restrictions for the delivery of my home?
Hive Modular homes sit on the same type of foundation that a site built house does. This typically means the site must be accessible to and able to bear the weight of a concrete truck and a boom crane. A crane can lift modules over other modest houses or trees, but needs sufficient clearance to rotate, maneuver and place the modules. Loaded trucks and cranes need about a 16' wide, clear and relatively straight path of access to the site. The ground or street must have the bearing capacity to support the stabilization arms of the crane.
 
What will a crane and setting cost? How do I find one?
Crane costs will vary, but are generally billed hourly on a round-trip basis from the crane company to your site. Crane costs are commonly $300/hr, plus the trip charge. Set and crane costs are contingent upon the quantity and size of modules and the distance traveled. The crane and set crew are hired by the site contractor or client, but Hive Modular can assist if necessary. In some cases, the factory will provide their own delivery and set crew. In these cases, the cost for this work would be included in the price of the modules.
