What Is a Stick-Built Home?

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

A home that is stick-built is constructed on the building site, piece by piece. Manufactured and modular homes are not classified as stick-built because they are made mostly in the factory and then transported to the site.

A custom home and a home made according to stock building plans may both be stick-built, provided that they are constructed on the land where they will remain.
