What are the differences between modular homes and traditional (i.e. site built) homes?
A modular home is virtually indistinguishable from a site built home, adhering to the same building codes and using the same type and size of structural materials. Because modular homes are built indoors, however, there is almost no chance that your home gets wet, or is otherwise damaged by weather during construction – a significant risk for site built homes. An apt description of a modular home is a site built home constructed in a controlled environment.
