Are modular homes as sturdy as traditionally constructed houses?
Actually, they’re sturdier. Since they need to be constructed to withstand the rigors of shipping, modular buildings are made using (on the average) 20-30% more materials than a traditional home, considerably increasing the structural stability!. A 1992 FEMA study (in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew) concluded that modular homes performed much better than traditionally-framed houses.
