Modular Homes?

[David Dachtera]

Hi, Folks,

Want to solicit some input on doing new developments using modular construction.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, let me define the distinction:

Manufactured homes:
Delivered to the final site in a completed state. Example: Trailers, mobile homes

Modular homes:
Stick-built in a factory to exact measurements, delivered to site in pieces which fit on flat-bed semi-trailer, assembled on-site after foundation is poured and first floor is laid down (OSB or plywood per code).

Home building is beginning to pick up in my area and I'm exploring the possibility of developing land and providing modular homes which can be completed more quickly than traditional stick-built-on-site homes.

Experiences would be the most helpful. Opinions are welcome, also.
