Pillar To Post And Hayman Residential Engineering Services Launch Foundation Inspections For Manufactured Homes
Pillar To Post, the industry leader in home inspection services and Hayman Residential Engineering Services (HRES), a nationwide engineering and architectural firm, jointly announced today a strategic alliance. Working together, the two companies will offer foundation inspections and engineering certificates for HUD Compliant permanent foundations, VA permanent foundations and conventional loan permanent foundations on manufactured homes.
The partnership seeks to facilitate successful home loans for buyers and sellers of manufactured homes. The rapid issuing of a certification — that verifies a compliant foundation — expedites the loan approval process and close of the home sale. Starting immediately, home buyers and sellers of manufactured homes in the U.S. who use Pillar To Post professionals for their home inspections will have access to foundation inspections in 41 states.
“Our foundation inspection reports will give HRES a highly detailed description and images of the home’s foundation, so the HRES engineers can make a quick determination of its condition,” said Dan Steward, president of Pillar To Post. “Pillar To Post is very excited to work with HRES to be the first home inspection company to provide this valuable service to real estate professionals, lenders, home buyers and home sellers.”
All foundation systems, new and existing, must meet the guidelines published in the Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing, dated September 1996. A certification attesting to compliance with this handbook must be obtained from a licensed professional engineer and included in the insuring file. It is applicable for all re-sales. The PFGMH must be followed in order to receive a federally guaranteed loan.
