Manufactured and Modular Explained

Manufactured Homes

Manufactured Homes are built as either a single section home or a multi-section home, depending on the floor plan. They are constructed and delivered on a permanent chassis, so a permanent foundation is not necessary.

Up To Code

Because of their efficient, high-quality construction, these homes provide the best value in home buying. Manufactured homes conform to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) codes, which regulates the design, construction, structural durability, transportability, fire resistance and energy efficiency of a home. It also prescribes performance standards for the mechanical, plumbing and electrical standards.

Modular Homes

Modular Homes are built in the factory and transported in sections, are virtually indistinguishable from a site-built home, though they tend to be better constructed, take less time to build and are more energy-efficient.

Any Size

While manufactured homes are one-story designs, a modular home can be of any size. They are placed on a foundation and are subject to the same codes as any other site-built home, including all local, state and regional building regulations.
