Quad-wide manufactured housing consists of two similar sized double-wide sections, eight feet or greater in width and at least thirty-two feet in length. The second double-wide may be considered a tagalong. A tagalong is an attached section, usually a full width, but not necessarily the same length of the main section(s). It is the same in both structure and quality as the unit to which it is attached, but is adjusted in cost. When the second double section is not of similar length, it is often best to price the main two sections as a double-wide, and the second double section as a double tagalong section. Where each added section is of different lengths, price each one as individual single tagalongs.
The residences are usually described in terms of width and length and are priced accordingly. Do not include the hitch in the overall dimensions.
Exterior walls range from 3" to 6" thick, 7’6" to 8’ high, depending on quality with a base finish of aluminum. There are typical amounts of doors and windows depending on quality.
Interiors range from prefinished plywood or printed hardboard to good tape and textured drywall depending on quality. Cabinetry and hardware are included based on quality. Plumbing is commensurate with the quality. The fixtures can include any of the following: lavatory, toilet, deluxe whirlpool tub, tub with shower over, stall shower, water heater, kitchen sink, laundry tray, wet bar.
Costs are retail prices, including normal charges for delivery and setup on post and piers within 100 miles of the dealer. A low quality manufactured home is generally a structure built to minimum standards, whereas an excellent quality manufactured home is similar in both design and appearance to modular constructed and, to an extent, to site-built residences as typically found in tract development. Excellent quality homes will have a continuous concrete perimeter foundation, whereas lower qualities will generally have a post and pier foundation.
The following are not included in the cost: Appliances, furnishings, drapes, skirting, local fees, licenses, utility costs, inventory discounting, predatory pricing, etc.
