Let's explain some of the terms that people will talk about.

Modular

A modular home is built to the state building code in the state that it is designed to be lived in. State codes vary from state to state and that is an important factor to consider when considering from where to purchase. We have adopted the IRC (International Residential Code) as the building code all of our modular homes will be built to unless there are local codes that require something different. There is a degree of comfort in knowing that at the end of your building process you will receive a certificate certifying that your home has been constructed in accordance with the applicable building code. Contrast this with what you get from the local site builder. They do not typically provide any certification in reference to this. In most of Southern Illinois there are no building inspectors to ensure that your home has been built to comply with code requirements.

Manufactured

A manufactured home is built to a national building code (HUD code). In years past they were also known as mobile homes, doublewides, or trailers. The distinguishing feature of a manufactured home is that it is designed for the weight of the home to be supported by large "I" beams. Typically they are designed to be placed on a crawl space. Please make sure that you understand the product you are interested in, double wides, even really nice ones are not built like modular homes but are often often marketed as though they are the same. The key question you need to have answered is "What building code will the home be built to?". If the answer is the HUD Code, know that you are looking at a double wide regardless of what the saleman calls it.
