What is an Off-Site Built home?

An Off-Site Built home, also called a modular home, is built in a factory to the same state and local building codes as homes built on site. The home is then carried in sections by special trucks to the building site where a local builder puts it together.

How are Off-Site Built homes different than manufactured or mobile homes?

Off-Site Built homes are built to the same International Building Code (IRC) as homes built on site. The IRC are created by building professionals to insure that a home is built to withstand the unique environmental stresses of a state and local area. However, manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes or modular, are built to a federal HUD code and do not have to meet state and local code standards.

What is the quality of an Off-Site Built home like?

An Off-Site Built home has many advantages over site built homes in terms of quality. For example, an Off-Site Built home is constructed inside a modern quality controlled environment, sheltered from the wind and rain. Also, quality control is maintained by constant inspection through out the entire construction process. Furthermore, an Off-Site Built home is engineered with precision for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability.

To insure a safe and secure trip to your property, an Off-Site Built home is built especially well, using high quality kiln dried lumber, and not the green lumber that is sometimes used in homes built on site. In fact, there is usually between 20% and 30% more lumber used in framing an Off-Site Built home. Also, most factories nail AND glue or screw the components of the Off-Site Built home together, unlike most site builders.
