Modular homes with truss floors are typically designed to go on a basement or foundation.

Why should I buy a Manufactured / Modular Home instead of a Site-Built Home?
A: Manufactured / Modular Homes are more cost-effective (25% - 30% lower) than site built homes. And you purchase price is fixed - no overruns.

Manufactured Homes are quality built in a factory, finished and ready to move into in as little as 5 weeks from order date, with a variety of floor plans and interior design options to choose from. CSA approved, full warranties, and all inclusive packages including setup, delivery, and even skirting, sunroom and deck options.

Are manufactured homes well made?
A: You are assured of first-rate construction, because all manufactured homes built in the USA since 1976 must meet the strict performance standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The department's code requires the highest standards in every phase of construction and its requirements are comparable to the Standard\ Building Code for site-built homes. Also, all manufacturers have their own quality assurance programs, and every home's design and construction is inspected and approved by an independent outside source.

In Canada all homes must conform to the CSA Z-240 Standard for RVs.
