Today’s modular homes look as good as their “site-built” or “stick built” counterparts, which are built from the ground-up at the construction site. However, modular homes are built in sections at a factory then assembled on-site.

Modulars shouldn’t be confused with “manufactured” or “mobile” homes, which are fully assembled at the factory before delivery. Modular homes are often only about two-thirds as expensive to build per square foot as their site-built cousins, although some owners say there is very little price difference when the dust and the home finally settle.

A modular home is placed on a premade foundation and is assembled and completed by local contractors. And just like a conventional home, your local planning department will need to approve blueprints and a local building inspector will still need to be sure the modular structure meets codes and requirements once assembled.
