What is a Modular home?
Prefabricated, manufactured, and modular housing are efficient methods for building new homes.
Manufactured homes, or HUD Code homes, are constructed in a factory following federal building standards (HUD Code) and have a permanent chassis for transport. Once sited, they can be placed on a foundation that meets conventional lending requirements. Modular homes are also factory-built but transported in sections to be assembled on a fixed foundation. Unlike manufactured homes, modular homes adhere to local building codes. Both housing types can reduce construction time, material costs, and labor expenses, while potentially speeding up the permitting process when combined with pre-approved plans.
