No, they don't.  Modular homes are just like traditional homes, except they are built in sections indoors and then those sections are transported to the site.  They are made of traditional materials, anchored to a foundation, etc.  They look like traditional homes.  The advantage is that they are built in a climate controlled facility -- so no weather delays, rain-warped lumber, contractors wandering off to other jobs.  The disadvantage (or one of them) is that because the segments have to be transportable you are somewhat limited in your design.

Some of the PPs must be thinking of repurposed shipping containers; I guess those are technically modular in nature, but not what is meant by the term.

Agree with the first PP that modular homes are not always cheaper.  Also I understand it can be harder to get financing, because they're uncommon.[/quote]
