FAQ

A factory built home constructed in two or more sections. The home is almost completed in the factory and then it is transported to the homesite and assembled. Unlike a HUD-code home, which must adhere to a national code, modular homes are regulated by state building codes. These homes must be placed on a permanent foundation.

A manufactured home is construction entirely in a controlled factory environment and bulde to the Federal Manufactured Home Contruction Saftey standards(Known as HUD code). The home is transported to the home site in 1 or more section. Common terms for manufactured homes are "singlewide" or "Doublewide" homes. Manufactured homes can be placed on basements or other permanent foundations but it is not a requirement to do so.

A community in which manufactured homes can be placed. The owner of the home leases the land from the owner of the community. Most of these communities offer shared amenities such as swimming pools, clubhouses, and playgrounds for children.

Sometimes referred to as a Land/Home Subdivision. The land and home are purchased as one complete package, and the buyer owns both the home and the land.

Yes. Unlike site built homes, all manufactured homes are built to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code, with each home going through a rigorous inspection process before being certified and sold. Since 1976, this code regulates home design, construction, strength, durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. It also sets standards for heating, plumbing, air-conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. Inspectors, known as PIA's (Primary Inspection Agencies) actually monitor construction of the homes as they are built in the factories.
