How does manufactured housing compare to site built housing?: Manufactured homes are built entirely in the factory under federal code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which went into effect June 15, 1976, and has been upgraded numerous times. The code covers single- or multi-section homes and includes transport to the site and installation. Regulations include: design & construction, strength & durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency & quality. Manufactured homes are built on a chassis and delivered to a site on a several sets of axles; they are primarily intended to be affixed to a permanent foundation. Modular Homes are built to state, local or regional code where the home will be located.
Because all of our homes are built in a factory, our manufacturers utilize labor saving techniques not practical for the average site builder. The factory environment also improves the flow of materials and reduces the amount of “lost time” or damaged materials that are common on site built construction sites. Our manufacturers are also able to purchase materials at a more favorable price than most contractors due to high volume. These savings are significant and are passed on to you in the form of affordable housing.
Do you supply the land to go with the home?: Yes, in some cases. We offer several Land/Home packages. Please contact us for our most recent list of Homes on Land for sale.
