Are modular homes as strong as site-built homes?

Yes. Modular homes are typically engineered to be even stronger than conventional site-built homes. In addition to meeting all applicable seismic, snow, wind and building code requirements, they must also withstand transportation by highway or barge and be safely lifted into place by crane. These additional demands require enhanced structural strength and rigidity while delivering the same long-term performance as a conventional home.
