Factory Built Home The term modular 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 Drywall is often glued and screwed to wall studs and triple headers are used over window openings and around stairwells to withstand the stresses of transportation and being lifted by a crane.

Every basement is different and will usually require an engineer drawing.
