What is involved in a Manufactured Home Engineer Foundation Certification?

An Engineer Foundation Certification involves several actions on our part. At a minimum:

• We perform an on-site inspection of the foundation where the home is located. We observe features and components of the foundation as it pertains to the permanent foundation standards of HUD.
• We review and verify compliance as it pertains to the HUD guidelines.
• If the foundation is in compliance to HUD standards, we issue the certification compliance letter. If the foundation is non-compliant to HUD standards, we issue a non-compliant letter with recommendations on how to bring the foundation into HUD compliance.      ^ top
