HUD COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATIONS

What is A HUD Permanent Foundation Inspection?

A HUD engineering foundation inspection is:

To conduct a structural inspection for determining:

If the manufactured home is permanently tied down, and
That the home would not float off the piers or foundation,
That the drainage of the house will not flood the crawlspace or basement.

What about Engineering Inspections of Additions?

Decks, porches and room additions are regulated by the construction codes for each state and/or local housing authority. If the property has an addition attached after the home was sited, the attachment is not regulated by HUD Standards or Regulations. If an addition has been added to a manufactured home, it may take the home out of conformance with the Standards.

How long does it take to get an Engineering Inspection Report?

Generally, inspections and reports are turned around in 2 to 3 days.

MANUFACTURED HOMES

Manufactured Homes are built from 1976 and on when the HUD standards became effective. The HUD standards improved the quality, safety, and energy efficiency of the homes. The most recent HUD standards are dated September 1996. A manufactured home (formerly known as a mobile home) is built to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD Code) and displays a red certification label on the exterior of each transportable section. Manufactured homes are built in the controlled environment of a manufacturing plant and are transported in one or more sections on a permanent chassis.Manufactured homes have exterior certification labels and an interior data plate where Mobile and Modular homes do not.
