Manufactured/Modular Housing
Manufactured and modular housing are increasingly being utilized by affordable housing developers in both urban and rural areas. Recent improvements in quality, flexibility and design make manufactured/modular housing a competitive alternative to "stick-built" construction for new development as well as infill or replacement construction. Some manufacturers will work with your home design to convert it to modular construction methods.
