What are factory-built manufactured homes?
Quite simply, manufactured homes are custom-built homes which are manufactured in a factory. These factories purchase lumber and other construction materials in large quantities at lower costs, and these lower cost gets passed on to you. Inside these highly controlled environments, homes can be built faster since there are no time delays or damage generally caused by rain. The quality is also higher because the construction is continually monitored by inspectors and executed by full-time professionals—licensed builders, carpenters, plumbers and electricians. Homes are built in compliance with federal, state and local building codes and must exceed Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, which ensure higher energy efficiency and strength. Manufactured homes are stronger than most site built homes. Once the home is complete, the modules are transported to the homesite and assembled onsite by licensed installers, and experienced plasterers and painters.
