My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Building specifications - SE TX manufactured housing

13 years ago

I own 5 acres in Southeast Texas, near Winnie (but still in Jefferson County, which makes a difference in some things);

I am looking to buy a manufactured house (or modular house if I can find a retailer) to put on it. I am reading about "built to .... specifications". The same for Ratings - EX: R-22 rated fiberglass or "built to LS specifications"

A simple search does not provide direct answers. Is there a website that provides the meanings of these specifications?

Does anyone on this forum have suggestions?

I did find this site, which promises to be exciting in many ways and I look forward to exploring it!

Thanks! Starr
