I have received delivery of a large modular home. One problem (at least to
me) is that some wall switches controling room lights are located quite far
from the rooms doorway. Surely code requires a switch when one enters the
room. Does the code state how close to the door it must be?

Many thanks!

So much for 'quality assured because it is built in the factory'
malarky.

We have built several modular homes. Quality from one company is poor -
from the others, very good. Quality can be better, much better, from a
factory. Management also has more control over the laborers. Of course if
management desires or is satisfied with bad quality, then that's what that
company will produce.

Some companies are geared toward more low cost houses, duplexes and quads.
Others are geared toward high end very custom homes and there is everything
in between. Like anything else, know who you are dealing with.

*NO*
You can put a switch anywhere you want it (except on the floor).
I have a friend that works for a modular home company. He took me on
a tour once, bad workmanship was the key word, and he agreed, in fact
he pointed out the defects. Live with it, or complain and they will
probably do nothing.
