Modular homes have either a basement or a crawl space underneath them and manufactured Container House can be installed on a basement or on concrete piers or on an engineered slab.
The major difference is that manufactured homes are federally regulated by the HUD Code. The HUD Code provides the design and construction requirements for the complete production of the entire home in the factory, with some modifications permitted for on-site completion. Modular homes fall under the auspice of the model building code enforced in the jurisdiction where the home is to be located. These can be the BOCA National Building Code, or the ICBO Uniform Building Code.
Modular homes can be built just about anywhere unless the covenants in a development state otherwise. Manufactured homes can be installed in your town, private lot or manufactured home community.
The actual building process at the factory takes between 3 and 4 days. The order time depending on the time of year can take 4-6 weeks. Homes of Harmony stocks 23 modular and manufactured homes which can be purchased and installed in a very short time.
Modular and Manufactured Sentry Box can be financed by local lenders, mortgage companies and credit unions. Rates and terms vary by institution.
