New Mod is an architectural design and project coordination firm specializing in modular and factory built homes.
Factory built construction operates differently from traditional building and requires a higher level of coordination across multiple phases and teams.
Projects are guided from concept through completion with a clear and structured approach that maintains alignment at every stage.
The result is a more efficient and predictable path to building.
We develop architectural concepts that respond to the property, the client’s goals, and the broader context of the project.
Our work addresses layout and flow, building form, exterior design, material selection, and overall composition, ensuring each project is both well resolved architecturally and able to move through engineering, permitting, and construction without disconnect.
With a focus on modular and factory built construction, design decisions are made with an understanding of structure, manufacturing constraints, and site conditions, allowing the project to progress with continuity from concept through completion.
Planning and feasibility establish the foundation of the project before design moves forward.
This phase evaluates the property, access, zoning and jurisdictional considerations, and overall site constraints to determine what can be built and how the project should be approached. It also considers factors such as utility availability, grading conditions, and the practical requirements associated with factory built delivery and installation.
Early coordination during this stage helps identify potential challenges, align expectations, and define a clear direction prior to advancing into design, engineering, and permitting.
Permitting and engineering coordination advance the project from design into an approved and buildable set of documents.
This phase involves working alongside engineers, consultants, and local jurisdictions to develop the drawings required for review and approval. Structural, civil, and other technical systems are integrated into the design, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and project requirements.
As documentation is developed and reviewed, the project remains aligned across all parties, allowing it to move efficiently through approvals and into construction with clarity and continuity.
Factory and production coordination align the architectural design with the requirements of manufacturing.
Direct engagement with the factory refines configuration, specifications, and production drawings. Design intent, structural systems, and material selections are evaluated in relation to manufacturing constraints, ensuring the project is properly prepared for fabrication.
This stage maintains consistency between design and production, allowing the project to advance into manufacturing with clarity and precision.
Project management provides oversight and continuity as the project moves through each phase of development and construction.
This role extends beyond scheduling and coordination. It involves guiding the project through a complex series of decisions, requirements, and dependencies that must remain aligned from early planning through completion. Working alongside consultants, contractors, and technical professionals, the project is structured so that information is clear, responsibilities are defined, and progress remains consistent.
Experience with modular and factory built construction informs how the project is managed. Timing, sequencing, and coordination between design, permitting, manufacturing, and site work require a level of oversight that differs from traditional building. Each phase must connect to the next in a deliberate and organized way.
The outcome is a project that is actively directed rather than passively managed, with clear accountability, informed decision making, and a level of control that supports execution from start to finish.
Delivery and installation coordination prepare the project for the transition from manufacturing to on site construction.
This phase includes planning delivery logistics, confirming site readiness, and aligning installation requirements so the home can be transported and set under the right conditions. Access, staging, equipment, and sequencing are carefully considered alongside coordination with the appropriate contractors and installation teams.
Modular and factory built construction require precise timing between production and site work. Conditions on site must be fully prepared ahead of delivery, and all parties must be aligned for execution at the time of set.
The focus of this phase is to ensure that delivery and placement are carried out in a controlled and deliberate manner, with a clear understanding of scope, timing, and site conditions.
Overlooking Lake Sammamish and the surrounding hills outside Bellevue, Washington, the Sequoia Project was designed as a modern hillside residence that blends strong architectural geometry with expansive views and a deeply connected indoor outdoor living experience.
See ProjectPerched high above the hills of Napa Valley, this custom factory built residence was envisioned as a project that pushes beyond the conventional expectations of modular construction while embracing the surrounding landscape and expansive valley views.
See ProjectAt Joy Line Homes, this Atascadero residence was designed with a clear goal. Deliver a high-end, design-driven home without the cost and timeline typically associated with traditional construction.
