"Modern construction techniques have greatly improved the quality and durability of manufactured homes. Advances such as stronger building materials, better insulation, and improved design features mean that these homes are built to last and provide a comfortable living environment." 🏠 (Get the scoop on the hottest news and trends in Manufactured Housing – Read and subscribe to my daily newsletter!) 👇 https://lnkd.in/eC788Jrr #mobilehomepark #manufacturedhousing #technlogy #news #manufacturedhousingcommunities #realestate #investment #homebuyer #mobilehomeinvesting #buildcommunity #helpcommunity #investor #realestateinvestors #sustainability #affordability #housingmarketupdates #communityliving #housing #TheRealEstateSolutionist

"The Biden-Harris administration is aiming to reduce housing costs by reducing red tape and allowing housing types to be built under the HUD Code. This move will allow duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes to be built under the HUD Code for the first time, extending the cost-saving benefits of manufactured housing to denser urban and suburban contexts. The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, signed into law by President Gerald R. Ford, gives the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the authority to establish and change federal standards for manufactured homes. The ACT aims to make manufactured homes more affordable, durable, safe, and high-quality, making them more available, and establishing uniform construction standards." - manufacturedhomes.com Feel free to Read and Subscribe to my daily newsletter for the latest updates on MHC's. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eEje-Y6t #mobilehomepark #manufacturedhousing #technlogy #news #manufacturedhousingcommunities #realestate #investment #homebuyer #mobilehomeinvesting #buildcommunity #helpcommunity #investor #realestateinvestors #sustainability #affordability #housingmarketupdates #communityliving #housing #TheRealEstateSolutionist #homebuilder

ClwydAlyn has announced the restart of development work on its new affordable housing scheme on Builder Street in Llandudno. This significant milestone comes after a period of uncertainty following the collapse of the previous developer. The housing association has now partnered with St. Asaph-based K & C Construction Ltd to deliver construction works on the site. The project will feature 77 new one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes for rent for families as well as over-55s, in an area where there is a recognised shortfall of affordable housing. The high-quality homes will also be fit for the future, with energy-efficient features to promote sustainability. Penny Storr, Head of Development and Growth at ClwydAlyn says: "Despite the challenges posed by the change in developers, we’re pleased that we’re able to continue works to deliver much-needed affordable housing to the area. "The restart of works on this project is part of our commitment to creating homes that not only address the need for more energy-efficient and affordable housing in the region, but also positively impact the wider community. Our team have worked incredibly hard on the site, so we’re delighted that our partnership with K & C Construction has allowed us to continue." https://lnkd.in/gmyTQnnE #development #affordablehousing #affordablehomes #housingassociation #developer #partnership #familyhomes #over55s #construction #newhomes #sustainability #energyefficiency

Sweeden's approach to building new housing reveals what we and Factory OS have known for awhile — modular housing construction results in more homes for more people, faster. As we grapple with a nationwide housing shortage, we should embrace the modular housing model to accelerate housing production and bring down costs. https://lnkd.in/g4ZJrp6a

It is "missing" for a reason... because cities have regulated and zoned the product out of existence. As we look to address the housing crisis, we should be seeking to remove all barriers to critical missing middle housing. #missingmiddle #housing #housingcrisis #housingforall

Here is a super insightful post by Shawn Milligan about building permit numbers and what they really tell us. Be careful with the data! Put it in context before you write a headline!

👉 Change in the housing industry is not only possible – it's happening. Take a leaf out of the Fading West's book where modular construction is helping address the housing crisis in Buena Vista, Colorado. Are we looking at the future with modular homes? Share your thoughts!🔑🏘️ https://bit.ly/4bPdebD #HousingCrisis #ModularConstruction #CollaborateForChange

The US has a housing crisis - everything from affordable housing to workforce housing to the Missing Middle. Conventional construction can't seem to keep up with demand and prices still keep many out of the housing market. One Colorado company - Fading West - is taking a different approach. They are building a new generation of modern modular homes which are visually indistinguishable from conventional stick-frame construction. Their process is based on modern assembly techniques, completing a 2-bedroom home in 9 days by building inside a controlled environment which minimizes waste and eliminates weather delays. While Fading West's homes are about 20% less expensive than standard construction, that alone won't solve the problem. Perhaps combined with other innovations (such as 3D-printed homes, increased use of ADU's and other opportunities), we can put a dent in the housing crisis through cost-savings and decreased construction times.

Interesting…how will the international building code industry be impacted and what is their involvement in the structural review process. Will the structural integrity of the manufactured homes be in compliance with the INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE Standards m? I would like to see more information about this affordable housing strategy.
