Overview
Manufactured homes are different from regular site-built homes. They are constructed in a factory on a steel chassis with wheels, towed to a homesite, set on a foundation that is often stacked concrete blocks on pads, and then the wheels and tow-hitch removed. Their construction must comply with the HUD-code, America's only nationwide building code, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This book is primarily for home inspection and construction professionals with knowledge of construction techniques and inspection standards, who want to understand the difference between inspecting a site-built versus a manufactured home, along with the problems/defects that are common in manufactured homes. So basic construction/inspection standards, terms, and defects that are common to all homes are not covered. Although the book would definitely be helpful for homebuyers, some parts may be too technical for a layman.
