How does the Construction of a Manufactured Home Compare to a Site-Built Home ?

Manufactured homes are the only homes which must satisfy a stringent federal building code. The Housing and Urban Development(HUD) Manufactured Housing Safety and Construction Standards are your assurance of a safe, well-built home. These standards cover structural design, construction, fire safety, energy efficiency, and performance of heating, plumbing, air-conditioning, thermal and electrical systems.
