What is the difference between “Modular” & “Manufactured” homes?
- Modular homes are built to local and state building codes and standards, known as the IBC. International Building Code is the standard to which all site built structures are also constructed to.

Is there a difference in the foundation each type of home must be built on?
- Yes, there are some differences.
- Modular homes are built specifically to be placed on a basement or crawl space foundation, also known as perimeter permanent foundation. This foundation must meet or exceed all local and state building codes and it must be frost protected or built below the required frost line.
- Manufactured homes can be constructed to be built on multiple foundation types and are required by building code to be frost protected. The most common type of foundation built for manufactured homes are frost piers, extending below the required frost line. Manufactured homes can also be designed to be placed on basements, crawl spaces, or slabs. Each of these foundation types must also be frost protected and meet manufacturer’s requirements and building codes.
