Know The Difference Between A Mobile Home & A Modular Home
It is important to remember and know what the difference between a modular home and a mobile home is during the design stage.

A modular home is a permanent living space whose parts are created in an indoor factory as well. However, the difference is that, a modular home is not mobile and can designed to be more than one story tall.
Choose A Quality Modular Home Factory
