The residential building sector comprises companies involved in construction of apartment blocks, housing estates and individual home developments, as well as prefabricated houses and semi-fixed manufactured homes.
Explanation: Są one "jakoś-tam" przytwierdzone do podłoża, ale w tłumaczeniu trzeba oddać to, że jednak można je przenosić w inne miejsca - kwestia "półprzytwierdzenia" jest mniej istotna, gdyż wiadomo, że jakieś zamocownia dom mobilny musi mieć.
Manufactured housing (also known as prefabricated housing) is a type of housing unit that is largely assembled in factories and then transported to sites of use.
In the United States, the term manufactured housing specifically refers to a house built entirely in a protected environment under a federal code set by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The term mobile home describes factory-built homes produced prior to the 1976 HUD Code enactment.
The original focus of this form of housing was its mobility. Units were initially marketed primarily to people whose lifestyle required mobility. However, beginning in the 1950s, these homes began to be marketed primarily as an inexpensive form of housing designed to be set up and left in a location for long periods of time, or even permanently installed with a masonry foundation. Previously, units had been eight feet or less in width, but in 1956, the 10-foot (3.0 m) wide home was introduced. This helped solidify the line between mobile and house/travel trailers, since the smaller units could be moved simply with an automobile, but the larger, wider units required the services of a professional trucking company. In the 1960s and '70s, the homes became even longer and wider, making the mobility of the units more difficult. Today, when a factory-built home is moved to a location, it is usually kept there permanently. The mobility of the units has considerably decreased. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufactured_housing
