What kind of building codes are prefab homes subject to?
By admin | April 27, 2009
Generally, prefab houses are manufactured to regional or council recommendations, so houses manufactured in a given fabrication factory will have differing building levels depending on the ultimate location of the units. Steel and/or wood framing are popular materials for building modular buildings. Modular home designing may be adapted for regional zoning codes. For example, buildings built for hurricane prone areas can have additional bracing built-in to provide extra protection.Modular units are generally fabricated in a big indoor facility on assembling lines much an automobile facility. Such facilities make use of an automated line to move the modules from one workstation to the next. Contracted inspectors are on location to supervise the manufacturing and ensure that all codes are adhered to during manufacturing.Prefab Homes are usually less costly than normal homes and are usually more cost-effective to the end consumer.
