What is the difference between a State Code Modular Home and a manufactured or “HUD Code” Home?

This is probably the most asked question we receive. Terms such as “manufactured homes” and “modular homes” are often interchanged. So the best way to describe the difference is by the codes that govern their construction. Below is a very brief outline of the differences:

Modular homes are constructed to the exact same codes as site-built homes. These codes vary by state but are commonly referred to as IRC (International Residential Code.) They are sometimes referred to by their specific state code (for example, Ohio would be ORC – Ohio Residential Code.) This is why many people use the term “State Code Modular.” Modular homes are generally all-wood construction, with no metal frame or I-beams under the floor. Modular homes are normally placed on permanent foundations such as crawl spaces or basements.

HUD Code or Manufactured Homes are built to the United States Housing and Urban Development’s Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD code.) Manufactured homes have a steel chassis or frame that is a permanent part of the home and must remain attached when the home is secured to the final site. HUD coded manufactured homes can be sold in any state in the country because it is a nationwide code. HUD code homes sometimes require special zoning for placement and may not be allowed in all residential areas or subdivisions. Manufactured homes are generally set on slabs with pier foundations but can also be set on permanent foundations. These homes have come a long way since the old days. Most now include 2x6 exterior walls, optional drywall interiors, steeper roof pitches, and much more.

Our Company

In 1971, the Shea family started building homes deep in the Amish Country of Nappanee, Indiana, under the name Fairmont Homes. The Shea family was committed to building value for their home owners. They believed that Fairmont could build affordable, attractive homes without compromising on the solid, strong construction and high quality components that would provide long-term durability and peace of mind for their home owners. Today, more than 40 years later, every Fairmont home is still constructed with that same commitment to value, strength, and affordability that our customers have loved from the beginning.

Over the years, the home building industry and home design have evolved, and Fairmont Homes has grown along with it. Today, our homes have a fresh, contemporary look while still providing a warm, comfortable aesthetic that makes our customers happy to come home to a Fairmont.

Since its inception, Fairmont has experienced tremendous success by keeping true to its principles. Starting as one of the largest single-location home building facilities in the housing industry, we have grown into two separate locations proudly building homes for American families. Together, our family of builders produce VALUE-Packed single and multi-sectional HUD homes built to federal construction requirements, stylish park model RVs, as well as the entry-level to large custom modular homes built to each state’s unique building code requirements.
