There are also many options for building, other than building the home entirely on the site. Homes can be factory-built and transported to the site; they can be built on site using pre-fabricated pieces or modules. Explore your options in this section:

| Different Kinds of Factory-Built Homes "Factory-Built Home” is a generic term that refers to any home that has been predominately designed and constructed in a controlled factory or plant environment. Factory processes are extremely efficient with materials and, thus, are considered more environmentally friendly. In addition, the factory environment can provide a much greater degree of quality control, compared to on-site construction. |
| Modular Homes: Faster and More Energy Efficient For those who need fast, affordable and reliable solutions for their housing problems, modular homes might be the best solution. In contrast to what many people think, modular homes are quite different than manufactured or trailer homes. In fact, they are very similar to site-built homes. |
| Manufactured Homes - Mobile Homes, or Trailers Manufactured Homes are the buildings we have, in the past, referred to as mobile homes or trailers. While other factory-built homes are built to the codes of the area where they will be installed, manufactured homes are built to a special HUD-code and installed in accordance with HUD guidelines. Thus they are sometimes referred to as HUD-Code homes. |
