| WHAT IS A MODULAR HOME? | ||
| Modular homes are built to the IRC (International Residential Code), BOCA, and other building codes, all of which are shared by site-built homes. Modular homes are built to the same building codes as site-built homes and are treated as such by financial institutions, local municipalities, etc. You must apply for a building permit, follow all local regulations for construction, and retain an occupancy permit before you may move into your new modular home, just as you would with a typical site-built home. Modular homes are built with more lumber than a site-built home. Modular homes are built in a controlled enviroment, where as site-built homes are built in all types of weather. Modular homes are NOT trailers, double wides, or built to trailer HUD codes. | ||
