“Modular Home” is the industry term, although the official name of what we provide is technically “Factory Built Housing”.  “Prefab” is also a term that is often used but it can also be used for a variety of different building systems, so we prefer “Factory Built Housing”.  A “Modular” home is built to the California Residential Building Code, the same exact building code as a site-built home, the only difference being that it is built in a factory and then transported to your property.

When a modular home is delivered to your property, a licensed specialty “set crew” using a crane or sophisticated rolling equipment places each piece on a concrete foundation, and a licensed contractor completes the home. Once your home is finished, it is indistinguishable from a traditional “stick-built” home.

So, when you see someone use the term “Prefab” we recommend verifying that the home is being built to the California Building Code as Pre-fab can also be used for homes building to the HUD code and those are also called Manufactured homes.  We do not build or provide Manufactured/Hud/Trailer homes. 

Here at California Modular Houses, Inc., we only build Factory Built Homes, AKA Modular Houses, built to the 2025 California Building Code (CBC). 

California Modular Houses, Inc., does not build homes for projects outside the beautiful Golden State of California. 

We only build homes for California. 

If the home can be delivered to your property, and you are within state lines, we can absolutely help you!
