Be Familiar with the HUD Code and other Rules<\/h3>\n

You need to be familiar with all the legalities, planning, building codes and regulations.

Look and Hire a Licensed\/ Accredited Modular Home Builder<\/h3>\n

Before deciding to purchase a modular home<\/strong>, make sure you are working with a\u00a0Licensed Builder. You must make sure that he is a Certified Energy Star modular home builder. Hiring one would mean for an energy efficient abode.<\/p>\n

Create the Modular Home Design Intricately<\/h3>\n

Be sure to allow enough time initially to consider the best layout and design<\/a> that works best with your lifestyle and family requirements and make sure these are reflected in any design or layout changes you wish to make to your home. Discuss these in detail with your builder and make sure that you are\u00a0clear on the additional cost and any extra time delays\u00a0associated with making these changes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Act as a General Contractor<\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t have first-hand building industry management experience\u00a0it\u2019s not advisable to act as your own general contractor.
