Given similar size and style, a manufactured home costs less than a comparable conventionally built home. Why?
A manufactured home is constructed on an assembly line. It is done inside a building so that Mother Nature didn’t have the opportunity to rain on your floor decking or your studs before the roof was put on. Also, the workforce that constructs manufactured homes enjoy the same dry warm/cool workplace that your home does so they can be more productive in what they do. They also do the same portion of the home assembly every day. Therefore, they can be trained to do that particular job well. Random drug testing is also used to insure both the quality of the product produced and the safety of the workers in the plants.
