Abstract: This report deals principally with modular homes (permanently sited structures) although it also presents some recent information on mobile homes. In 1976, modular home construction companies were surveyed in Texas and across the United States to assess the extent of their construction activity and market penetration and to gather some insight into the future of modular residential construction. A questionnaire was sent to 196 manufacturers. Of these, 77 responses were received and 48 had useable information. One manufacturer was producing units to be used as motels, schools, and townhouses. Information requested covered a wide range of topics including individual contruction techniques, square footages, features, per-unit costs, financing methods, sales and aggregation of markets, average shipping distances, unit merchandising, and assessment of effects of added government regulation, emerging trends, and indications of the nature and extent of future industry problems.
