Are Manufactured Homes Safe?

It is a common question for people to ask if manufactured homes are safe. This really is a hard question to give a straight answer to because of all of the opposing views. What I have gathered though is that they are safe and there are even benefits above an on-site built home.

There are many reasons that a manufactured home is safe. The first reason is that it is built with the same if not better quality as a site built home. This is because of a few different things. The weather is a big reason that it is better to have a manufactured home. The home is built in a controlled environment with no rain or snow. This means all of the materials are dry and kept clean as the working process continues. Also, the workers are more relaxed and happier to do the work so they will do a better job than if they are out there in the hot weather or the rain. In that case they might rush and not do the same quality of work. Another reason for better quality is there are quality control programs used by modular builders. This is a rare thing for manufacturers to have but it is required when doing modular projects. Inspections of these types of homes are more harshly judged and more often.

This type of home often comes with longer warranties as well. This means more safety for you. If something is to go wrong, you will be compensated for or it will be fixed. How can something with a ten year warranty be dangerous?

Think of it this way, are you going to buy a prototype of a car which is the first of its kind and has never been tested? Or, are you going to buy a car that has been produced for a number of years and therefore all the faults have been worked out? Well, I’ll tell you right now. The mass produced car will work better; it’s been tested, and guaranteed to last longer. Just like this formula, modular homes are made in a factory with a formula. There are different designs but they are all calculated and put together the same way so it is guaranteed to not have faults.

Also, you might find some reassurance that because it is built in a factory and not on site it is safer for the workers and can even be built more quickly. This means neighbors will not be disturbed and there will be no liability for you because of injuries happening on your property. This frees up so much time too. While a site home can take around a year typically, a modular home can be built in two or three months. They can even be placed on a foundation so you can have a basement with a modular home.
