A HUD Engineering Certification for a manufactured home, specifically a foundation certification, is required for certain types of loans, particularly those from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This certification verifies that the manufactured home's foundation meets the standards outlined in the HUD Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Homes (HUD 7584).
The certification ensures the home is securely and structurally soundly anchored to a permanent foundation, complying with HUD standards.
FHA and VA loans often require this certification, as well as loans for conventional mortgages.
A certified engineer conducts an on-site inspection, reviewing the foundation's construction and verifying compliance with HUD guidelines.
The certification includes the home's address, HUD Label number, and details about the foundation system, including ventilation, load calculations (dead loads, snow loads, wind loads, seismic loads), and any modifications or additions to the home.
Manufactured homes manufactured after June 15, 1976, have a HUD label (a metal plate with a 6-digit number) attached to the exterior, serving as a verification of compliance.
The cost of the certification can vary based on the scope of work, for more information, visit our quote section or send us an email to info@ezinspection.pro
