What is the difference between the terms “Manufactured Housing” and “Systems Built-Modular Homes”?
Manufactured homes, sometimes incorrectly referred to as mobile homes, are another type of building system and are constructed to a different building standard. This standard, the Federal Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/CODE), unlike conventional building codes, requires manufactured communities have restrictions on where manufactured homes can be located. Systems Built-Modular and site-built homes on the other hand, are constructed to the same building codes required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations. Your new systems built-modular home is inspected at the assembly plant during each phase of construction. Evidence of this inspection is normally shown by the application of a State or inspection agency label of approval.
