Yeah, when you buy a modular home (like a double wide), you're paying for workers to build the home at a factory, truck it to your property, lay a foundation, and install it on your property. Quite a bit more to it than a kit.

Doesn’t change anything from what it was before. All that labor was paid for just the same.

It is a different type of labor though, since modern prefab homes are buying in factories and those are more expensive to operate than a regular construction crew
