Overview

The 550 prefabricated wood building manufacturers in the US produce modular homes and commercial building units, log cabins, detached garages, sheds, sauna rooms, gazebos, wooden geodesic domes, and farm buildings such as barns, chicken coops and corn cribs. This industry does not include mobile home manufacturers, although some modular building manufactures also offer mobile homes and park models.

Variable Building Material Prices

Prefabricated wood building manufacturers rely on supplies of lumber, particle board, drywall, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, windows and doors, roofing and siding materials, insulation, flooring materials, cabinets, paint, and hardware.

Demand for Affordable Housing

Firms stand to benefit by working with land developers, lenders, and the government in creating affordable housing projects.
