Modular Homes Multiply

The latest trend is modular construction, also known as UBC construction. UBC stands for "Uniform Building Code", meaning that these homes are built to the same code as site constructed homes, and usually better. The term UBC is used to distinguish a modular home from the old "manufactured", HUD, or "mobile" homes.

These homes are constructed in pieces in a factory and then assembled on site. All the pieces are mass produced by machine instead of hand measured and hand cut one-by-one at the building site. The result is significant cost and time savings. A typical modular home goes up in one or two days!

Now this isn't something you see every day - a flying dormer!
