In today’s world of subdivisions and mass production, new home construction lacks a lot of the custom features most home buyers crave. New homes are built one after another and look surprisingly similar inside and out. Part of this is because there are misconceptions around true custom homes vs. modular builds.
After so many years of excellent modular home construction growth and adoption, I sometimes find it frustrating that confusion still exists over the meaning of this build process. So many people still confuse the term modular home construction with “manufactured home” or “mobile home” (think trailer). They are not one in the same. In fact, there are huge differences between them.
