Owning Your Own Home is the ultimate American dream and the most important purchase you will make in a lifetime.

Today’s Factory-Built Homes are the Future in Home Ownership.

Factory-built homes are redefining what it means to own a home—offering a smarter, more efficient path to quality living without the inflated costs of traditional construction. Whether you choose a manufactured or modular home, these residences are built in a controlled environment and then installed on your land, allowing for greater precision, faster timelines, and meaningful savings. In many cases, construction costs per square foot can be 10% to 35% lower than a comparable site-built home, not including land. Of course, final pricing will vary based on factors like size, design complexity, finishes, and customization.

Today’s manufactured and modular homes offer the same features buyers expect in a traditional home—often with even more flexibility in design. From efficient, straightforward layouts to expansive floor plans with vaulted ceilings, open-concept living and dining areas, and fully equipped kitchens, the options are extensive. Features like dedicated media rooms, generously sized bedrooms, and spa-like bathrooms with garden tubs and upgraded fixtures result in a home that delivers both value and comfort, without compromise.

Benefits of Choosing a Manufactured or Modular Home

  • All stages of the construction process are controlled and inspected by several inspectors.

  • The factory craftsman and assemblers are professionally trained and supervised.

  • The home is out of the weather during the building process.

  • Materials are purchased in volume for additional savings to the consumer.

  • Inventory is better controlled and materials are protected from theft and weather-related damage.

What’s the Difference?

Manufactured Homes

Homes built entirely in the factory under the federal building code, referred to as the HUD Code, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Manufactured homes may be single-section or multi-section and are transported the site and installed according to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. The majority of manufactured homes have the wheels and axles removed with the home being permanently sited and a real property deed issued.

Modular Homes

Homes built in a factory as units that meet the state or local building code. In Alabama, this is the International Residential Building Code. This is the same building code that most site-built homes must meet in this state.
