What are modular homes?

Answer 1

Modular homes are built in a factory to meet or exceed the building codes where they will be set and permanently attached to a foundation. Modular homes are then brought to the build site in large pre fabricated pieces and assembled like a 3-D puzzle. The fact that approximately 80% of the construction is done offsite differentiates them from stick built homes. The fact that they meet local building codes and are not built on a frame that can later be moved from the foundation differentiates them from manufactured homes, which are built to the less stringent HUD code. Modular homes are usually brought to the build site in large pre fabricated pieces and assembled like a 3-D puzzle.
