SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Altamont Homes, Inc., in Martinez, Calif., is the leading provider of a new type of housing being offered in California and surrounding states -- Off-site Built Homes. *(PHOTO: Send2Press.com/mediadesk/1006-Altamont_72dpi.jpg) *(Photo Caption: The Bainbridge Model.) Off-site Built Homes, also known as True Modular homes, are built in accordance with the same building codes which traditional on-site built homes are constructed -- the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or International Building Code (IBC). Off-site Built Homes are not to be confused with manufactured homes, a more common type of factory-built home constructed to a different building code -- the HUD code -- which can be more limited in architecture and not as favorable to appraise or finance.
