Modular = State Code
Example: UDC = Wis. & BOCA = Ill.
The modular home is built to your State’s code for construction. The inspection process on-site is therefore more thorough. The home is brought to the site on a flat bed and steel frame undercarriage is completely removed. This home is not constructed with the first floor utilities. This home normally is placed on a minimum of a crawl space. A basement is preferred and most popular, as the furnace and water heater are usually installed on-site, below the first floor. The modular home can be built as a ranch, multi-level two-story, or a cape cod. This home is available to customize.
