It’s
a reality today that portions of almost every home constructed
has factory built components. For example, site-built
homes likely have roof trusses, cabinets, fireplaces and
many other components manufactured in a factory. Why?
Because builders have found that it is easier to control
costs and maintain consistent construction quality.
Factory construction ensures you of a quality product
while reducing square footage costs. The weather doesn’t
interfere or cause costly delays. Materials
are more cost-effective because they are
bought in bulk. These efficiencies are then
passed on to you, the homebuyer. Because manufactured
homes are factory-built, the cost of a manufactured
home, per square foot, is about half that of
a site-built home.
