  Modular home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modular homes are houses that are manufactured in a remote facility and then delivered to their intended site of use.
Off-frame modular dwellings differ from mobile homes largely in their absence of axles or a frame, meaning that they are typically transported to their site by means of flat-bed trucks, however, some modular dwellings are built on a steel frame (On-frame modular) which can also used for transportation to the homesite.
Modular homes usually lack the shallowly-sloping roof-lines typical of mobile homes as the roof can be transported separately, from the other components.
