5. Q. WHY AREN’T THERE MORE MODULAR (UBC CODE) HOMES AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA, LIKE ALL THOSE GORGEOUS HOMES I SEE ON THE INTERNET?

A. THERE ARE!! With the passage of Title 25, of the California Code in 2000, Factories can now make products that conform to the required CBC Code in California.  These homes are now inspected in the same fashion, with the same right of exlcusion to local Building Department inspections, that Manufactured Housing enjoyed for the last 25 years in California.  Each home does have to be site specific, as to meeting or exceeding the sesmic structural package and Title 24 energy requirements.  The good news is that  many Factories, in order to meet these requirements and still be cost effective, have simply adopted a more stringent worst case attitude, so that any home built will conform.  You as consumer reap the benefit if this type of approach, as your home comes with a superior structural and energy package, typically at a price to you of less than the lessor "required only" package for your site.  It has taken several years for Factories to gear up for production related to the Modular market, but it is now taking off, and you are going to see the full specturm of products you have seen on the internet being built all over California in the coming years!!  Think about working with us, to be the first in your area!
