This is one of the great myths of the site built industry. Today’s Manufactured Homes are built to much stricter guidelines for safety and the United States fire Marshall has determined that today’s Manufactured home with it’s drywall construction and fire retardant materials used throughout, hardwired smoke alarms and safety egress windows is safer than most site built homes. Manufactured Homes are designed to withstand much greater lateral forces than site built homes and all of our foundations are built to seismic zone 2 specifications.
