    difference between a manufactured home, a modular home and a panelized home

    Sources: This link was checked on Dec. 2006MHI (www.manufacturedhousing.org/)

    What is the difference between a manufactured home, a modular home and a panelized home?

    "Many types of structures are built in a factory and designed for long-term residential use. In the case of manufactured and modular homes, units are built in a factory, transported to the site location and installed. In panelized and pre-cut homes, essentially flat units (factory-built panels or factory-cut building materials) are transported to the site location and assembled.

    The major difference is that manufactured homes are federally regulated by the HUD Code under 24 CFR 3280. 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, panelized and pre-cut 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, the ICBO Uniform Building Code, The Southern Standard Building Code or the ICC One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code."
