Manufactured homes, also referred to as factory built housing, are primarily comprised of manufactured and modular homes. 95 percent of manufactured homes, and all modular homes, are permanently sited and built with the same materials as site-built homes.

Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes are built in a factory under a federal building
standard administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (commonly known as the HUD Code) went into effect June 15, 1976. These standards regulate the manufactured home design and construction, strength and durability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. It is the only federally-regulated national building code for residential dwellings.

Modular Homes - AKA Residential Industrialized Building
Modular homes are built in a factory and comply with the state Residential Building Code, the same standards as for site-built homes.
