The latest HUD regulations say that every manufactured
home foundation must be a permanent, approved foundation. Even tougher,
both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and conventional home loan programs, will
not finance manufactured homes if the foundations are not permanent, approved
foundations that might even have to exceed HUD's requirements
Unfortunately almost all the foundation systems that meet
the regulation are very pricey, running as high as $25,000 and taking weeks of
site work to install. One of the great savings for factory built housing
is assembly line production efficiencies, both in time and material costs.
Almost all approved manufactured home foundation systems are installed in much
the same way, and with the same inefficiencies, that site builders have
struggled with for generations. This adds a huge new burden and
often a barrier to manufactured home ownership.
Fortunately one company, Sure Safe EFS, has come up with a
patented solution, "the Engineered Foundation System". This is unique
system can be installed under a home, either new or existing, in a matter
of four to six hours. The genius of the Sure Safe Foundation is in its
simplicity and engineered design which precisely transfers all house loads
to footings formed in-place that perfectly conform to the grade of the earth
below.
The Sure Safe system was originally designed to meet the
exacting standards of California's earthquake resistant building codes.
The system will not only save you thousands but give you the advantage of the
most stringent and dependable foundation
standards anyplace in the country
