What type of home is built in sections and assembled on-site?

A modular home is constructed in sections, or modules, in a factory setting and then transported to the building site for assembly. This type of home adheres to the same building codes and standards as traditional homes, which allows for greater customization and design flexibility. Once on-site, the modules are typically connected and finished to create a complete dwelling.

In contrast, ranch-style, manufactured, and single-family homes do not fit this specific definition as neatly. Ranch-style homes refer more to a particular architectural style rather than a construction method. Manufactured homes are built entirely in a factory and transported as a single unit or in sections but are not assembled on-site like modular homes. Single-family homes encompass any style of residence designed to house one family, which can include anything from traditional stick-built homes to manufactured homes, but does not specifically indicate the sectioned assembly approach that modular homes use.
