Modular buildings are sectional Container Houses that consist of multiple sections i.e. modules. The modules are multi-sided units constructed in a manufacturing facility. They are transported to their permanent site on a flatbed vehicle. The modules are put on the building's foundation and joined together to make a single residence. The modules can be placed side-by-side, end-to-end, or stacked to permit a variety of house layouts.

In many ways, modular homes are studier than site-built homes. Both are built to local and state building codes. But modular homes have to be built strong enough to move from the factory to the home site, so framing is often stronger than called for by the codes, making modular homes even more likely to withstand damage from high winds.

Modular homes and mobile homes are very similar in nature and the terms tend to be used interchangeably. Because of similarities in the manufacturing process, some companies build both type homes in their factories.

A mobile home is built on a permanently attached chassis with highway-grade wheels and tires, mobile homes are usually transported by being pulled behind a truck to their permanent site. Several such units maybe jointed together to form larger entities. Mobile homes are usually placed on a concrete pad in one location and left there permanently, but they may retain the ability to be moved. Behind the cosmetic work fitted at installation to hide the base, there are strong. During installation the trailer frames, axles, wheels, and tow-hitches needed for moving are hidden behind aesthetic screening.

In the United States, these mobile homes are regulated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), via the Federal National Mfd. Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. The Manufactured Housing program is a national program established to protect the health and safety of the owners of manufactured (mobile) homes. Under the program HUD issues, monitors, and enforces Federal manufactured home construction and safety standards. The intent of the program is to: reduce personal injuries, deaths, property damage, insurance costs, and to improve the quality and durability of manufactured homes. The standards preempt State and local laws which are not identical to the Federal standards. The standards may be enforced by HUD directly or by various States which have established State Administrative Agencies (SAA's) in order to participate in the program. HUD has the authority to inspect factories and obtain records needed to enforce the standards. If a manufactured home does not conform to Federal standards, the manufacturer may be required to notify the consumer. If the home contains a defect which presents an unreasonable risk of injury or death, the manufacturer may be required to correct the defect. Modular homes are constructed according to the International Building Code (IBC) or the code that has been adopted by the local jurisdiction.

A mobile home should probably not be called an investment. Such homes depreciate over the years, and unlike classic cars, they don’t tend to reverse the trend. However, there are some advantages to owning a mobile home. Generally they are cheaper than houses for similar floor space. A mobile home can often be purchased on a lower down payment both because of the lower price. Frequently, on a new mobile home purchase, you may be able to finance the cost of the sales taxes into the loan amount. Purchasing a Modified Shipping Container Home , may give you the feel of home ownership.
