Definition

Built in factory sections off-site, then transported and assembled on your land. Modern modular homes meet building codes completely. Factory construction means quality control and faster construction than traditional building. The result looks like site-built but is faster and cleaner.

About this term

Modular homes are constructed in controlled factory environments, allowing for quality control and efficient construction. The modules are transported to the site and assembled by licensed contractors. Modern modular homes meet the same building codes and performance standards as site-built homes. Modular construction offers faster construction timelines and often better cost efficiency than traditional building methods.

Pro Tip

Modular homes should finance through conventional mortgages if properly permitted. Verify HUD certification and local approval.

Example

A three-bedroom modular home assembled from two sections on a prepared foundation represents the efficient construction method.
