What is the difference between a "modular" home and a "manufactured" home?
Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes, are constructed to a different building code. This code, the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/CODE), requires manufactured homes to be constructed on a non-removable steel chassis. These chassis are not required for conventional building code. Many communities have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located. Modular homes are built to the same building code required by your state, county and specific locality as site-built homes. Therefore, building or zoning regulations do not restrict them. Your new modular home is inspected at the assembly plant during each phase of construction. Evidence of this inspection is normally shown by the application of a state or inspection agency label of approval.
