Manufactured housing now accounts for more than one in every four new single-family homes sold each year. The modular building system uses assembly line efficiency to build a house without the structure being exposed to rigors of climate and weather. Mass buying of material, assembly line efficiency and a climate controlled atmosphere results in a superior product for less money.
Modular homes are constructed to the same building codes required by your state, county and specific locality using the same quality materials as site-built homes. The major difference is that modular homes are built in a factory and delivered in modules.
Accessories
Manufactured homes now offer almost every special feature and amenity found in site-built homes. Many customized features can be added onto your modular home:
- Customized fireplaces and hearths
- Upgraded carpets and pads
- Increased roof load construction
- Detachable hitches
- Upgraded appliances and dishwashers
- Skylights
- Rounded drywall corners throughout including windows
- Upgraded light fixtures
Price
Manufactured home prices range from entry-level to luxury. By deciding what you want and working with your builder in advance, you can determine how much you can spend on a house, and focus your search within that price range. Most modular homes are 90% complete when they are shipped from the factory to the building site. You know the exact cost for the modular unit in advance, even when the home is customized.
