What is the difference between a true modular and a double-wide (manufactured home)?
A. A double wide (manufactured home) is built on a non removable steel chassis and travels to the site on its own wheels. Our system built modulars are built using convention 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 dimensional lumber or engineered trusses like a site built house. Our modular appreciates just like any other site built home. Modulars are constructed to the same state and local building codes and are subject to the same zoning regulations as site-built homes. Manufactured homes are built to a different code (the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act HUD Code). A modular home has a deed like a site built home; a manufactured home comes with a title like a vehicle.
