Person Engineering

Professional Engineering Company, Committed to Your Timeline

The simple truth is that if you are buying or moving a manufactured home to a new location, then you’re going to face some semi-complicated inspection requirements. If you’re applying for an FHA or VA loan, then you need a qualified North Carolina engineer to sign off on your foundation certification (among other things).

Your checklist is quickly filled with acronymns and regulated codes that look like gibberish. 

With Person Engineering, you’ll get direct communication access with a licensed engineer throughout the process. That means we can identify issues early to save you time and money — and help your family move in as soon as possible.

Manufactured Home Inspections & Certifications

01.

Manufactured Home Inspections

We specialize in all types of required manufactured home inspections in North Carolina. Unlike like many inspectors, we are a family-owned firm founded by licensed engineers. That means we’ve been building experience and trust from local homeowners for over 30 years.

02.

FHA Foundation Certification

Are you applying for a loan from the FHA, VA, or USDA for your manufactured home? Our North Carolina Licensed Engineers make sure your  home foundation is in compliance with FHA, USDA, VA, and Conventional Lending requirements—according to the current HUD standards.

03.

Third-Party Footing Inspection

We provide third-party footing inspections, whether it’s at the request of your local building inspector or you are on a tight deadline. Using a third-party inspector for all your footing inspections ensures a consistent set of requirements and drastically reduces the time between dig and pour.

04.

Additions Inspections

Additions to a home include porches, decks, heated additions, and garages. Your lender may require that a licensed professional engineer inspect these additions to ensure that they are safe to occupy and that they are not built in such a way that they are damaging the manufactured home.

An additions inspection is always included with a foundation certification inspection at no additional charge.

05.

Over-height Inspection

We provide inspections for new or used manufactured homes when they are installed differently than the standard code allows. If your local building inspector tells you to need a certified engineer to inspect your home setup, then we can guide and confirm your next steps.

06.

Marriage Wall Inspection

A Marriage Wall Inspection is required for  manufactured homes and modular homes where two sections of the home are joined. This inspection ensures the alignment, sealing, and fastening meet HUD standards and protect against air and water infiltration. It’s a critical check for lenders, homeowners, and buyers to verify the integrity and safety of your home’s construction.

Travis and the team at Person Engineering were a pleasure to work with. They were fast to respond to all our inquiries and got the inspection we needed done in less time than they originally quoted us. Their attentive service kept us on track to complete our project on time. I called several engineers before choosing Person and their rates were very competitive. I recommend them highly and would gladly work with them again.
