What are modular homes, exactly?

Modular homes are built in sections inside a factory, then transported to the lot and assembled on a permanent foundation, following the same local building codes as a home built entirely on site. That distinguishes them from manufactured or mobile homes, which are built to a separate federal code and can be titled differently. Because most construction happens indoors, modular builds are often faster and less exposed to weather delays than a fully site-built home.
