What is a modular home?

Many people are confused as to what a modular home really is. Well, it is a home built by an advanced building system. A Site built home is also a building system but it is built the old way, board by board, piece by piece. Modular homes are constructed with the same building code required by your state, county and specific locality using the same quality materials as site-built homes. The biggest difference is that modular homes are built in a factory and delivered in modules. Modular homes are the strongest of all wood-framed homes, and are usually better than 90 percent complete when delivered. They also have 20 to 30 percent more materials used in building the house. The modular building system uses jig & assembly line efficiency to build a house without the structure being exposed to rigors of climate & weather. Mass buying of material, assembly line efficiency & a climate controlled atmosphere results in a superior product for less money.
