Factory Built Homes The term factory built means many things to many people. It can describe homes built on site using panels, walls prefabricated and shipped directly from the factory to the job site. The phrase can also be used for the modular housing industry built as whole sections or modular units in a plant and then attached on a permanent foundation with the use of a crane. Finally, it can describe HUD code homes, also known as manufactured homes or sometimes referred to as mobile homes.
Modular Construction Facts Sheetrock is often glued and screwed to wall studs and triple headers are used over window openings and around stairwells to withstand the stress of transportation and being picked up by a crane.
North Carolina Factory Built Home Most factory built homes are constructed entirely within a controlled climate. Construction continues year round and assembly line workers dont need to be skilled carpenters and are paid about half of what on site contractors are normally paid. Many of the laborers working in the modular housing industry have steady jobs with benefits and can afford to buy the products they make.
