Key Characteristics of a Manufactured Home

Key Characteristics
  • Factory-Built: 
    Manufactured homes are built in a controlled indoor environment at a factory, which helps minimize construction delays and ensures quality. 
     
Permanent Chassis: 
They are built on a non-removable metal frame or chassis, which allows for transport but also serves as the foundation's support. 
 
Transportable: 
Manufactured homes are designed to be transported to their permanent location in one or more sections. 
 
HUD Code Compliance: 
All new manufactured homes are built to the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, commonly known as the HUD Code. 
 
Site-Specific Placement: 
Once at the site, the sections are joined and installed on a permanent foundation.
