What is an Engineers Foundation Certification
An engineer’s foundation certification is a document issued by a licensed professional engineer that verifies a home’s foundation meets specific structural and safety standards. This certification is often required for manufactured or modular homes to ensure compliance with HUD, FHA, VA, or conventional loan requirements.
Key points about foundation certification:
- It confirms that the foundation is permanent and meets local and federal guidelines.
- It is often required for financing, especially for FHA, VA, or conventional loans.
- Engineers inspect the foundation and issue a report verifying compliance.
- If a home lacks a permanent foundation, it may need retrofitting before certification can be granted.
