What is the difference between a modular home, manufactured home and mobile home and panelized home?

A modular home is a system built home that is built in a factory to the same standard (building code) as a site-built home. The modular home is then transported to the building site and permanently attached to a foundation. A modular home will offer the best quality construction for the best price. A manufactured home or a mobile home is built in a factory in accordance with a federal or HUD code. These homes are typically parked or installed in a trailer park or similar location. A panelized home is shipped to the site in structural building panels. The panels are then assembled on-site. The house is then finished in a similar manner as a site-built home.  more
