Unlike manufactured or mobile homes, a seller of an Off-Site Built home does not have to keep a state or federal insignia on the home stating that it was built in a factory. That is because the state considers an Off-Site Built home to be fundamentally the same as a home built on site.

Hi-Tech off-site built homes are constructed in modules, using the same components found in high quality site-built homes. Their modern factory controls the building environment, eliminating damage and delays caused by weather.
