HUD Manufactured Home Foundation Certification
and Additions Certification Inspections

Central Florida Building Inspectors (CFBI) is certified to provide Standard HUD Manufactured Foundation Certification Inspections and Additions Certification Inspections. This expansion of our services allows us to better serve homeowners and real estate professionals in the Orlando and Central Florida areas.

Whether you are buying or selling a home with a manufactured foundation, or adding on to your existing home, CFBI can provide you with the peace of mind that comes with a thorough and professional inspection. These HUD Compliance Certifications or Permanent Foundation Engineering Certifications are essential to ensure stability and soundness to these structures.

When a lender is doing a federally backed loan on an existing manufactured home which is located on its own site (not a rented parcel), then the lender must have an engineer certify the foundation system as being HUD compliant. With FHA loans, the additions must also be certified (not the addition itself but that the addition doesn’t adversely affect the structural integrity of the home.) Many lenders are requiring these certifications for conventional loans as well. CFBI can perform these inspections for you and your solution is only one call away!

A Standard HUD Manufactured Foundation Certification Inspection is a visual inspection of the foundation system of a manufactured home. The inspector will look for any signs of damage or deterioration that could compromise the integrity of the home. The inspector will also ensure that the foundation meets all applicable HUD standards. Please note we do not address tie-down requirements, only HUD compliance requirements.

An Additions Certification Inspection is a visual inspection of an addition that has been added to an existing home. The inspector will look for any signs of structural problems that could affect the safety and soundness of the addition and would cause the home to be out of compliance with HUD standards. We will issue a certified engineering report on the addition within a few days of the inspection.
