Title: Factory constructed housing developments
First published: 1997
Description: Written by a professional engineer with more than 20 years of experience in the field, this is the first comprehensive guide to planning and building factory-constructed home communities and small modular home subdivisions. Although some information on the design of small subdivisions and manufactured home communities can be found scattered throughout various government documents, until now, there has been no single guide to the creation of new developments.

This reference assembles and cites the existing literature, and adds to it useful information from the author's two decades of practical field experience.

Learn how to plan, develop, and build factory-constructed housing developments, including everything from the roles of municipal boards, to roads and development configurations, to water and sewerage. The book also considers factors unique to manufactured home communities and modular home subdivisions, and directs you to sources for further research. No other single volume contains the information in this book.

Features: explains the legal issues affecting factory-constructed housing, including zoning, codes, and rules and regulations; examines lot layouts for small realty subdivisions and manufactured home communities; and considers water and sewage disposal systems.
Subjects: Housing development, Industrialized building, Prefabricated houses, Buildings, prefabricated
