The value of any home relates to the quality of construction and the purchase price. It also relates to the long term cost for maintenance and operation and the resale value. From the Arkansas „Planning and Zoning Quarterlyâ;

Manufactured homes are constructed with virtually the same materials used in site-built homes. In contrast, however, manufactured homes have the advantage of using engineered design applications and the most cost-effective assembly line techniques to produce a quality home at a much lower cost per square foot.

To ensure quality, the design and construction of the home are monitored by both HUD and its monitoring contractor, the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards (NCSBCS). The familiar red seal, or certification label attached to the exterior of a manufactured home indicates that it has passed the various stages of design review and monitoring.
