FHA & Manufactured Home Structural Compliance
PE-stamped structural engineering compliance reports for FHA and VA lending conditions, manufactured home foundation certifications, and HUD Permanent Foundation Guide documentation.

Yes. StructSolve performs on-site inspections of manufactured home foundations and delivers PE-stamped compliance reports accepted by FHA and VA lenders across Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
The HUD Permanent Foundation Guide (HUD Handbook 4930.3G) requires that manufactured homes placed on permanent foundations meet specific criteria for foundation type, tie-downs, anchoring, chassis connections, and site conditions. StructSolve evaluates these criteria and documents compliance or deficiencies in a PE-stamped engineering report.
StructSolve documents the foundation conditions and identifies any deficiencies clearly. If the foundation does not meet requirements, our report describes exactly what needs to be corrected. We do not perform repairs. But our documentation gives the seller, contractor, or lender a clear, defined scope to work from.
