Are modular homes the same thing as a mobilehome or manufactured home?
No. A manufactured home is delivered to site as a transportable section and has a permanent chassis. Blocks or metal piers support the inner chassis which consists of metal beams. A modular home does not have a chassis. A manufactured home is a HUD home and has been designed and engineered in the factory and is considered pre-emptive in code requirements. A modular home must conform to the individual local building jurisdiction requirements. Therefore a manufactured home can usually be installed much quicker, less expensively and efficiently.
