1. GA Modular Builder - Before a modular home manufacturer begins construction, all building plans must be reviewed and approved in each state where the manufacturer intends to sell homes. Homes must be designed and built to the code for the state where the home will be shipped for final location. The manufacturers contract with state approved third party plan review agencies which conduct plan review on behalf of the state. The modular manufacturer also contracts with a third party inspection agency that is licensed by the states to perform the in-plant inspection while the home is in production. When the housing sections or modules are complete, the third party places a label on the home certifying that the home has been manufactured in conformance with the approved plans and complies with all provisions of the building code. There are four major types of system building: log, modular, concrete, and panel. Log homes account for a sizable portion of the nation's custom homes, according to the Building Systems Council (BSC), a system-built housing industry advocate. In addition, the BSC says modular construction rates are at historic highs, system-built housing is being embraced by builders across the U.S.
