What is the difference between modular and doublewide homes?
Modular and site-built homes are constructed to meet all state, county, and local building code regulations. Your new modular home is inspected at the assembly plant at each phase of the construction process to assure you that all building code regulations have been met. Doublewide homes referred to as mobile or manufactured homes are constructed to a different type of building standard. This standard, the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/Code), unlike conventional building codes requires manufactured homes to be built on a non-removable steel frame. Because of this, and many other construction differences, many town ships have restrictions on where doublewide homes can be placed.
