What is the difference between a modular home and other factory-built homes?
Not all factory-built homes are on a level playing field. Among the many classifications of prefabricated homes are modular homes, manufactured homes, and mobile homes. Each of these home types is very different. Although they are all built in a factory, they are built to different building codes, with modular construction at the highest construction/quality level. Moreover, MKD homes are built with an innovative type of pre-built modular construction with an especially strong steel framing system which works well for earthquake, hurricane and other environmentally challenging areas. Many city and county zoning ordinances restrict the locating of manufactured/mobile homes to limited areas, whereas modular homes are more widely accepted.
