Third-Party Footing Inspections 

Meet Permit Requirements for Your Local Building Inspectors

Before placing your manufactured home, you need a certified footing inspection that gets approved by your local building inspector. Our inspectors provide quick and accurate footing inspections so your family can move in quickly and avoid messy delays from a failed inspection.
 
The simple truth is that local building inspectors are slammed with inspection lists, and you don’t have time to wait for their approval. Our inspectors move quickly and know the requirements your local building inspector is looking for — so you don’t have to wait in line any longer! 
 

Don’t Delay Your Move-In Date

If your footing doesn’t meet the local standards for manufactured home footing, you will face costly move-in delays. Thankfully, local inspectors will approve a footing inspection from a licensed NC engineer, like Person Engineering.

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.

What is normally checked during Manufactured Home Footing Inspections?

When Person Engineering inspects the footing system of a manufactured home, we evaluate key structural and code-related elements to ensure stability and compliance. This includes:

Footing Dimensions and Placement: We check the depth, width, and spacing of footings to ensure they meet North Carolina building guidelines, as well as local building codes.

Pier Spacing and Load Distribution: Proper placement and spacing of piers are crucial to evenly support the home’s weight. We confirm that all piers are set according to the structural load plan.

Soil Conditions and Compaction: We assess whether the soil under the footings has been properly compacted and is capable of bearing the required load without shifting or settling.
