Factory-built homes are gaining popularity among buyers who appreciate the speed with which they can be constructed as well as their discounted price – 10 to 35 percent less compared to stick built, according to the Manufactured Housing Institute.
One problem is the difficulty potential buyers have finding information and qualified builders. “We have not, as an industry, learned to promote our homes,” admits Vic DePhillips, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Building Systems Councils.
Some locales still aren’t accepting of factory-built technology, but increasing numbers of zoning boards have come to understand that finished factory-built homes look no different than stick built, says John Perry, chief executive of Contempri Industries Inc., a modular house manufacturer in Pinckneyville, Ill.
