Systems Built vs. man. homes

Post by Terry » Sun May 19, 2002 8:36 am

I've been seeing advertisements here in Georgia for "systems built" housing, which I think is modular housing, but I'm not sure. Supposedly, it's a new process that's the "wave of the future." I believe this particular company is building a couple of subdivisions. From the website pictures, the houses look just like site-built homes with high pitched roofs and other features, but there's no information about cost per square foot. I suspect that they're significantly higher in price than manufactured homes. Can somebody explain how this type of house is different from manufactured housing?

Thanks

You are probably right....The term is probably just a marketing persons name for modular home...You are probably right about the price too...

In Georgia modulars are built to a state code and come in many price and quality ranges..All residential modulars in GA are off frame (means they need a perimeter foundation)....besides this...the rules are very basic...Check them out..
