Modular Homes Akron Ohio • The Modular Homes Akron Ohio industry offers many choices in both design and price. They save money and time by minimizing the need for site-built construction and meeting certain regulations. Although the Ohio Manufactured Homes Association focuses on improving the image of these homes, many individuals are still confused by the perception that manufactured homes are trailers. In fact, manufactured homes are high-quality, and energyefficient, but their appearance is not limited to their size. • The cost of a modular home can vary widely, but experts estimate that the average expense per square foot of a finished house is $120. Some builders will charge more for stylish finishes, but you can still expect a 250-square-foot modular home to cost between $14,498 and $120,830. That's a very affordable option for a custom-built dream home. With so many options, modular homes are a great choice for the home buyer who wants to get a highquality, stylish home at a reasonable price. • Although they are made from similar materials, modular homes require a more substantial lumber package. Extra materials are required for framing and wall structures. Because modular homes are constructed in a manufacturing facility, they must also adhere to local building codes. Unlike mobile homes, which can be moved from place to place, modular homes can be permanently set on a permanent foundation. There are two types of modular homes: on-frame and off-frame models. Off-frame models have floor joists that are 2x10, and a delivery chassis that is removed.
