    HUD’s “Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Homes” which is a design manual for foundations on manufactured homes. Engineers are required to certify compliance with this manual for existing construction. The practices recommended in the Handbook are not intended to be applied retroactively to existing sites unless the authority in the jurisdiction considers such application essential for safety and health of occupants. Upgrade of existing anchorages and footings shall meet the intent of the definition of permanent foundation stated herein.

    The “intent” of the anchorage is to adequately tie the home down during expected wind and seismic events. The “intent” of the footing is to adequately support the weight of the home given soil load bearing conditions and frost depth requirements. It is important to choose an engineer who is very knowledgeable about the PFGMH standards. An engineer who is inexperienced in these standards could wind up costing your borrowers thousands of dollars in unnecessary upgrades.

    Alati’s Inspection Service through the engineering firm of Hayman Engineering offers this service. We take the measurements perform the visual Inspection, fill out the required forms and upload the photos to Hayman Engineering who evaluates, calculates and issues the Manufactured Home Foundation Certification or recommend the Upgrade of existing anchorages and footings so that they meet the intent of the definition of permanent foundation stated.
