Modular Home

Modular Home

Modular homes are constructed in a factory to all applicable state and local building codes similar to the way traditional site-built homes are constructed, and then transported to the home site. Instead of being built according to the HUD Code, the codes and standards by which a modular home is built can vary based on the local ordinances of the home site. For example, some states and municipalities have standards that regulate the minimum roof pitch, overhang length, and foundation wall requirements.
