Yes, new manufactured homes are built to meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code. This code regulates the design, construction, strength, fire resistance, energy efficiency, and durability of mobile homes. In addition, it set standards for systems in the mobile home including; heating/cooling, electrical, and plumbing. During the manufacturing process inspectors insure that these standards are being followed. There are many Inspection Agencies that monitor construction of mobile homes as they are built in the factories. This is only true for mobile homes built after the HUD Code effective date of June 15, 1976.
