Manufactured Homes

Manufactured Home Inspections & Foundation Certifications

Once known as “mobile homes,” manufactured homes are now permanently affixed to foundations, providing an affordable and durable housing option. While they were once criticized for lower construction standards, today’s manufactured homes must meet strict federal and state regulations for structural integrity, safety, and quality.

HUD Foundation Certification for FHA Loans

To qualify for a federally insured (FHA) mortgage, a licensed Professional Engineer must certify that the home’s foundation meets the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards. These requirements ensure the structure is properly anchored and built to last.

Additionally, many states have unique foundation and construction standards, which must also be met for financing and compliance.
