Frequently Asked Questions What is a Manufactured Home? Manufactured homes are built in factories, rather than on site. The manufactured home is then delivered and set up on your property. Manufactured homes are less expensive per square foot than site-built homes and are typically more cost-effective to builders and consumers. Manufactured homes can be constructed in a fraction of the time it takes to build a home "on-site" and they're built to higher standards as well. What is a Modular Home? Modular homes are built in sections at a factory and are built to conform to all state, local or regional building codes at their destinations. Sections are transported to the building site on truck beds, then joined together by local contractors. Such homes are often priced substantially lower than their site-built counterparts and are typically more cost-effective to builders and consumers. What is the HUD code? In the U.S., manufactured homes are regulated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), via the Federal National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. It is the national regulation that has allowed many manufacturers to distribute nationwide, since they are immune to the jurisdiction of local building authorities. By contrast producers of modular homes must abide by state and local building codes. Can I get a manufactured or modular home that looks like a site built home? Yes, manufactured and modular homes can look just like site-built homes. Garages are not included with our homes but they can be built on to your home after it has been set up.

Before hooking up the water we require that the water pressure be regulated in order to hook up the water to the home on the incoming water line. What is a land home loan?
