  1. What is a Fuqua Systems Built Home?

    2. A Fuqua Systems Built home is created entirely in a factory under federal code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which went into effect June 15, 1976. These laws cover single-section or multi-section homes and include transport to the site and installation. Regulations include design & construction, strength & durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency, and quality.
  2. What is the difference between a modular home and a Fuqua home?

    3. Both modular and manufactured homes are factory built homes. A manufactured home, usually one story, is completely built and appointed in the factory and then transported in 1 or 2 sections to the home site. In Oregon all manufactured homes are sold by licensed retailers. Certified installers are responsible for the installation. A modular home is constructed in components in the factory and a specialized builder assembles these components and adds the desired appointments on the homeowners private property. Modular homes can be one or two stories and meet state and local agency approval (UCB Code — Universal Building Codes, as opposed to HUD Code).

  3. Why Modular?

    4. Built indoors under strict supervision and quality control, modular homes decidedly speed up the on-site construction process, eliminating about two-thirds of the time it takes to build a conventional home. Once on site, workers assemble the modules quickly so as to protect the interior of the house from damaging weather conditions. Enviromentally speaking, modular construction generates about half the waste of on-site construction. As an added bonus, many of the materials used in a modular factory are recycled in the factory. Workers often live close to a modular plant, which cuts down on commuting fuel use. Furthermore, they can work on mulitple houses each day without traveling site to site. Because materials are kept indoors, they don't get wet or mildew. Most exciting is that with modular construction, you can build a beautiful, custom home, much like the Tumalo Lodge Home-a far cry from the tacky boxes of just a decade or so ago.
  4. What are the HUD Requirements for Fuqua Homes?

    5. HUD code is a nationally recognized building code. The HUD code seal attached to a home's exterior certifies that it meets the regional standards for roof load, wind resistance, thermal efficiency, safety and durability. Manufactured homes are the only homes that meet the federal government's stringent regulations. A Manufactured Home is a structure that is transportable in one or more sections. In traveling mode, the home is eight feet or more in width and forty feet or more in length. A Manufactured Home is designed and constructed to the Federal Manufactured Construction and Safety Standards and is so labeled.
