Does anyone own a sutainable modular home?
Modular Home Questions August 23rd, 2010I see new-age sustainable housing in all sorts of magazines, but does anyone here actually live in one? I have never seen one. I think they are something we just talk about, like completely electric cars.

Aren’t they basically trailers moved in sections? Or houses build in sections prefabricated in one location and moved to a suitable location later. These houses are completely indistinguishable from built on site houses, especially if they are made well. Its no wonder you haven’t seen any in person. For all you know there could be one right next door and you wouldn’t know it.
When folks buy a previously owned home, they are more concerned that it is in good shape and that the price is right. Who actually built it or whether it was originally a modular construction, pre-fabricated home is often over looked.
You need to find the manufacturer and the locations of previous contracts to determine if a certain home is in fact a modular built house.
The tradesmen who build these types of houses take great pride in their work, if you can’t tell the difference between a regular house and one of their modular units. That is a testament to the quality built into each home.
