Do manufactured homes pass any sort of inspection or are they held to any standard?
Unlike site built homes, all manufactured homes are built to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments (HUD) code, with each home going through a rigorous inspection process before being certified and sold. The code regulates home design, construction, strength, durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. It also sets standards for heating, plumbing, air-conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. Inspectors actually monitor construction of homes as they are built in the factories.
