modular housing
Factory-built home segments
Modular housing is residential construction where building sections are manufactured off-site in a factory, then transported and assembled at the final location.
Unlike mobile homes, modular homes are permanently affixed to foundations and must meet local building codes.
The approach promises faster construction and lower costs: The development features modular housing units that went up in weeks rather than months.
