Manufactured Home Certifications

All manufactured home permanent foundation systems, new and existing, must meet the guidelines published in the Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Housing (HUD-7584), dated September 1996. A certification attesting to compliance must be obtained from a licensed professional engineer.

What is involved in Foundation Certification?

Professional Engineer Review – The Field Survey of the specific home site, additions, foundation, and tie-down systems are reviewed to ensure compliance with HUD standards.
