What is the difference between an industrialized builders registration and an installation permit?
Manufacturers of industrialized housing and buildings cannot release a module or modular component for shipping without the installation permit number of the owner or the registration number of the industrialized builder. An industrialized builder (retailer) who is not responsible for the foundation and installation of the modules or modular components may not release the modules or modular components without the installation permit number of the owner. If you are a retailer, (i.e., purchasing industrialized housing or buildings for sale or lease to the public) then you must be registered as an industrialized builder. If you are purchasing or leasing an industrialized house or building for your own use, or your company’s use, you may file for an installation permit in lieu of registering as an industrialized builder.
