For over 25 years we have been in the factory built industry and have built over 10,000 modules. We have built homes in 9 states and delivered homes as far as 1300 miles away. We recently built our current facility which is our fourth production facility. We have our own trucking company, set crew and on-site stitch crew making Irontown a complete service facility. Experience is key.
The terms manufactured, modular, factory built and pre-fab have all been mused together to categorize any home that is not built onsite. The original off site built home was a mobile home, then when the that term got a negative connotation it evolved to manufactured and now they are getting generalized into modular and pre-fab….so how do you tell the difference? The bottom line is what code the home Is built to. The HUD code (Housing &Urban Development) is a federally regulated code that mobile/manufactured homes are built to. They have a metal frame, usually require a VIN number and are personal property. Because of this they have problems getting financing. When an appraisal is done on a manufactured home it must be compared to a “like kind property” that is built under the identical code. They usually have financing problems, resell problems and depreciate in value.
A factory built home is built to the International Building Code, the exact same code that a site built home is built to. Each state has a division that governs and regulates the construction of the home and have guidelines set up to coordinate with the local building department. Since the home is built to the same code as a site built home it is real property, it appreciates the same as a site built home and appraises the same. You don’t have mortgages problems and it’s no different than a site built home.
Panelized home are simply a kit home where you purchase the walls as pre-assembled pieces. Usually they are just the exterior walls and the rest of the work has to be completed on-site. We do not build panelized homes and do not feel they really save the customer any time or money.
