Start with your project
The right answer for turnkey modular home depends on the job the house must do. A permanent residence needs quiet zoning, storage, year-round comfort and service access. A rental unit needs fast cleaning, durable finishes, simple guest instructions and a photogenic first impression. A glamping project needs repeatable rooms and clear operating flow. That is why Alpina, Magnum and Mantra are not substitutes for each other; they solve different project risks.
What to define first
Before comparing prices, write a one-page brief: number of users, season, utilities, site access, legal path, desired opening date and whether the home must earn income. This brief prevents overbuying area or underbuying comfort.
How to compare QHOME models
Compare QHOME models by scenario, not only by square metres. Alpina may be strongest where family comfort or premium positioning is required, while Magnum and Mantra may create faster return in guest accommodation. QBBQ or Delta can add an outdoor service layer when food, terrace or pool activity matters.
What the catalog comparison should include
Area, Calculator quote, category, equipment and installation logic should sit beside operating questions: how will people arrive, sleep, cook, shower, heat, cool and leave the unit after a stay?
Practical scenario
Imagine a coastal owner who wants one private family house and two rental units. A large model such as Alpina can become the main residence, while compact units such as Magnum or Mantra create revenue without turning the entire plot into a hotel. If guests need a memorable outdoor point, Delta can become a shared kitchen or private terrace upgrade.
From brief to delivery
Turn the buyer decision into a sequence. First, define whether the project is private living, guest accommodation or revenue. Second, confirm the plot: road, crane, foundation, utilities, views, drainage and legal path. Third, shortlist models such as Alpina, Magnum and Mantra. Fourth, compare base package, premium options, smart systems and outdoor additions. Fifth, decide how the home will be maintained after installation.
This sequence protects the buyer from the classic trap of choosing a model too early and then discovering that the site, utility budget or business model points in another direction. For turnkey modular home, the workflow is more important than a single render because it makes the buying conversation measurable.
Comparison table
The table below gives a practical comparison lens for this topic. It is not a substitute for a site-specific quote, but it helps frame the first conversation.
| QHOME model | Area | Calculator quote | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpina | 44.76 m² | price and packages on the product page | permanent living |
| Magnum | 52.52 m² | price and packages on the product page | guest accommodation |
| Mantra | 104.9 m² | price and packages on the product page | glamping / hospitality |
| QBBQ | 7.2 m² | price and packages on the product page | outdoor revenue |
What to avoid
The most common mistake is comparing only The quotation and image. A buyer may see Alpina or Magnum as a finished object, but the real project also includes access, foundation, crane, utility points, climate strategy and future maintenance. Compare the operating scenario, not only the render.

Your decision checklist

- confirm access road and crane zone before production
- separate the calculator house quote from foundation, delivery and utilities
- check heating, ventilation and service access for the season
- choose the smallest model that still supports the daily scenario
