Modular homes are built with the same materials, components and standards as a site built house, and meet the BC Building Code. The difference is that a modular home is built in a factory under a controlled environment and with many quality control inspections. A modular home can also be placed on a City of Kelowna lot. For more information view this video from Shell Busey MHABC – Modular Homes Video . With higher energy efficiency changes to the BC Building Code in 2008, new modular homes are more energy efficient than site built homes constructed to the previous code.
