Western Landmark Homes sells two kinds of factory built homes, Manufactured Homes and UBC Modular Homes. Both kinds of homes are built in the same factory and the interior and exterior appearance can be the same, but there are distinct differences.

The Manufactured Home is built to Federal standards (the HUD Code) and is accepted in all states. The home is built on a heavy steel frame which is an integral part of the structure.

The UBC Modular Home is built to the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or "stick built" code and must be approved by each state, city and/or county building department. For this reason, the UBC Modular Home is more expensive to build and to get permitted. However, it is classed as "stick built" home for financing and resale purposes.

Western Landmark Homes sells both Manufactured and UBC Modular homes. We will be happy to provide you with more details about the pros and cons of each type. For more information, call (760) 765-4201.

Quality

As with any other home, when it is a good reputable builder, it will be a good, well-built home. The advantage of factory built homes is that they are built in a covered atmosphere under very controlled conditions with quality control and building code inspections every step of the process. The construction workers are inside, not outside facing the elements and have, in many cases, worked for the same home manufacturer for their entire careers unlike "stick built" contractors who often use casual labor for construction. The result is a quality built home that withstands being transported hundreds or even thousands of miles and arrives undamaged. Compare these results to a conventional home.
