How Seasafe Builds Coastal-Strong Homes—Faster

Seasafe Homes created our own Two Site Construction process to build elevated, hurricane-ready homes months faster than traditional builds, without compromising on the quality or style.

What is two site construction? It’s a building process, not a finish or a type of material. Living spaces are built indoors at the Build Center and transported to your site, where our homes are installed on a permanent, concrete and steel foundation. Seasafe Homes meet (or exceed) the same building codes as site-built homes.

The Seasafe Build Advantage

  • Strong Elevated Homes: Concrete + steel ground floor foundation built onsite, often with pilings.
  • Seasafe’s state-approved coastal home models can save months of engineering time.
  • Precision Construction: Living spaces built offsite at the Build Center using equal or stronger materials than traditional builds.
  • Faster Two-Site Construction: Onsite and offsite work happens at the same time, saving months.
  • Personalized Finishes: Professionally curated design collections + your person touches for key finishes.

The Seasafe Building Process

Schedule a Meeting with Seasafe Homes

A quick call to answer questions and learn about your site, budget, and goals. Then meet in-person with our team to discuss floorplans

Design Agreement & Model Selection (~1 week)

Contract to move forward and choose your model and floor plan. Selecting one of our proven models helps us move faster while allowing room for personalization. Months of time can be saved using a state-approved Seasafe model!

Interior & Exterior Finishes, Engineering (~8 weeks)

While survey and soil studies are completed, you’ll choose your elevated ground floor design and home finishes. In parallel, we complete structural engineering and elevation details for your coastal site.

Build Agreement (~1 week)

We finalize pricing, specifications, and your finish selections package. Once contract is signed, we move into permitting.

Permitting (~2–6 weeks)

We submit structural, elevation, and site plans to your municipality. Requirements vary by jurisdiction; our team works proactively to minimize delays.

Your House Arrives! Two-Site Construction & Set (~12 weeks)

Once permits are approved, onsite foundations (concrete/steel on pilings) and offsite living spaces are built at the same. Completed living space is delivered and craned into place on “Set Day,” then weather-sealed and connected.

Finishing Touches (~10–12 weeks)

Exterior details (porches, handrails, Bahama shutters) and interior finishes (flooring, fixtures, final paint) are completed. Systems are tested and inspections finalized.

Move Into Your New Home

Final walkthrough, certificate of occupancy, and keys. Typical build time after permit approval: ~22–24 weeks (site conditions and municipality may vary).

Engineered for Coastal Strength & Safety

Built with concrete, steel, and wood, Seasafe Homes are engineered to withstand up to 180 mph winds and storm surge, meeting stringent Florida coastal standards and FEMA guidance.

How it works

Fewer Decisions, Less Stress

A traditional custom coastal build can force 1,500+ decisions. Seasafe guides you through about 100–150 focused choices across three milestones—

  • Model Selection – Choose the right elevated layout for your lot and lifestyle
  • Design Palette – Pick finishes from our curated collections
  • Personalization – Customize features that matter most to you

– designed to be an easier process.

FAQs: About Seasafe Homes

Are Seasfe built homes worth it?

Yes. Seasafe’s two site built homes deliver custom coastal design, hurricane resilience, and faster build times—often at a lower lifetime cost due to shorter building time costs and reduced maintenance and storm damage risk.

Costs vary by model, finishes, and site preparation needs. Our efficient turnkey coastal homes can start in the mid-$300,000s, with larger fully finished elevated models averaging $500,000–$900,000.

Prices are determined by what you want in your home.  We provide transparent, upfront fixed pricing based on your chosen plan, finishes, and site conditions. In most cases, pricing is set once the Build Agreement is signed to lock costs and avoid surprises.

Yes. Seasafe’s two site built homes are real property built to the same or higher standards as traditional site-built homes, so they appreciate similarly in value.

Are modular homes safe?

Yes. Seasafe’s homes are engineered to withstand up to 180 mph winds and storm surge flooding, using concrete, steel, and wood to meet FEMA and Florida coastal standards.

Yes. We manage engineering, elevation, pilings, and permitting to meet FEMA and local coastal codes.

Yes. Our living space modules are built indoors with equal or stronger materials, then engineered and assembled into one cohesive home on a reinforced foundation.

How long does the modular home process take?

The build itself—thanks to Dual-Site Construction—takes about 22–24 weeks after permits.

Home sections are delivered from the Build Center and craned into place on your engineered foundation. They are then weather-sealed, connected, and finished to create a single, seamless structure.

Yes. Choose from our plans, then personalize finishes, layouts, and exterior details to match your style and site. Our professional design team is there to help with decision making and coordination of colors and create your desired look and feel.

Why build a modular home?

Modular construction methods offer speed, quality, and resilience—especially for coastal areas. Building indoors reduces weather delays, and our Dual-Site method cuts months off the schedule.

No. Modular homes are permanent structures built to the same building codes as site-built homes. Mobile/manufactured homes follow different standards often with lower quality materials.

You can’t by looking. Modular homes are built to the same exterior and interior finishes as site-built homes—only the construction method is different.
