01Why modular
Built indoors.
Finished on your land.
What a modular home is, how it compares with a site-built house, and the things worth planning for before you start.
02Modular, explained
A house, built a better way round.
Most of the work happens indoors. The rest happens on your lot. The result is a home built to the same code as the houses around it.
Built indoors, in sections
A modular home is built in sections inside a factory, out of the weather, then trucked to your land.
Built to the state building code
Modular homes are built to the same North Carolina residential building code as a site-built house, and inspected against it.
Set on a permanent foundation
The sections are set and joined on a permanent foundation on your lot. Once it is finished, it is a house.
Financed like a site-built home
Because it is built to the same code and sits on a permanent foundation, a modular home is financed with the same kinds of mortgages as a site-built house.
03Side by side
Modular and site-built.
The code and the foundation are the same. What changes is where the building happens.
| Criterion | Modular | Site-built |
|---|---|---|
| Building code | North Carolina residential building code | North Carolina residential building code |
| Where it's built | Indoors, in a factory, in sections | Outdoors, on your lot |
| Weather during the build | Framing is under a roof | Exposed until it is dried in |
| Foundation | Permanent foundation | Permanent foundation |
| Financing | The same kinds of mortgages as site-built | Conventional mortgages |
| Changes to the design | Chosen before the build starts | Possible during the build, at a cost |
04What to plan for
Three things worth knowing up front.
- 01
The land has to work.
Sections arrive by truck and are set in place, so the lot needs access for delivery — worth knowing before you settle on a site.
- 02
The home is not the whole cost.
The foundation, utilities, permits and site preparation depend on your land. Ask for a free home & land quote so you are looking at the whole number.
- 03
Decide before the build.
Every home is built to order. Choices are made up front so the factory can build it — which is easier when you have seen the floor plan properly first.
