How Modular Homes and Manufactured Homes Differ
When you are buying a home, you might hear the terms modular homes and manufactured homes. It's important to understand
how they differ.
What Are Modular Homes?
Modular homes are built in sections at a factory. Modular homes are
built to conform to all state, local or regional building codes at
their destinations. Sections are transported to the building site on
truck beds, then joined together by local contractors. Local building
inspectors check to make sure a modular home's structure meets
requirements and that all finish work is done properly. Modular homes
are sometimes less expensive per square foot than site built houses. A
well-built modular home should have the same longevity as its
site-built counterpart, increasing in value over time.
What Are Manufactured Homes?
Formerly referred to as mobile homes or trailers, but with many more
style options than in the past. Manufactured houses are built in a
factory. They conform to a Federal building code, called the HUD code,
rather than to building codes at their destinations. Manufactured homes
are built on a non-removable steel chassis. Sections are transported to
the building site on their own wheels. Multi-part manufactured units
are joined at their destination. Building inspectors check the work done locally (electric hook up,
etc.) but are not required to approve the structure. Manufactured
housing is generally less expensive than site built and modular homes.
