\"Kit<\/p>\n

Small kit homes are ideal for those with some DIY or construction experience, while large builds may require a contractor. Since they come in many sizes and styles, we\u2019ve rounded up 20 of the best kit homes available today.<\/p>\n

Since there’s a wide variety in kit contents’ from company to company, it’s essential to understand what you’re getting before you make a purchase.<\/p>\n

Kit homes don\u2019t include interior finishes such as cabinetry, plumbing, countertops, or drywall. (Although some contain interior wood walls.) You\u2019ll also need a site with a proper foundation to get started. After constructing the home, you\u2019ll need a professional to hook up the electrical and plumbing work.<\/p>\n
