Modular home vs stick build

Hello guys,

I have read varying arguments online, but i am wondering what the wisdom of BP has to say: what are your opinions on stick/site built vs modular home (built in factory). 

In my case, I am talking modular as in the house will sit on  a real foundation - not a mobile home. The advantages are that the house is built in a controlled environment, so the build time is much faster and many say the build quality is better and cheaper. 

I am considering this for a small granny unit as well as for a larger project i am planning on 1.5 acres in San Jose. 

Thanks,

Federico
