We work better together!
Ensuring Code Compliance in Modular Construction
Building code officials and inspectors are critical in maintaining safety, integrity, and compliance as modular construction expands across jurisdictions. Modular Home Source Professional offers specialized tools, education, resources, and guidance tailored to the unique demands of modular code enforcement.
Modular Construction: Code-Driven, Precision-Built
Unlike manufactured homes, modular homes are built to the same IRC or IBC codes as traditional site-built homes — and are often constructed to higher tolerances in controlled factory environments. However, understanding where factory certification ends and local code enforcement begins is essential for accurate inspections.
Gain essential insights into modular construction, tailored explicitly for building code officials. Learn how to confidently navigate inspections, approvals, and compliance in the modular construction process.
We help Building Code Officials
Whether you’re inspecting a new modular build, a resale property, or a modular addition, understanding the construction methodology and regulatory framework behind modular homes sets you apart in the field.
On June 9, 2023, the International Code Council, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), hosted the Off-Site Construction Summit. This event brought together key figures from the building industry to discuss housing solutions through public policy and government action. Attendees expressed their support for the two ICC/MBI Off-Site Construction Standards.
- Clarity on state-approved modular plans and labels
- Guidance on site-specific inspections post-delivery
- Evaluation of foundation anchoring and structural integration
- Verification of factory-installed vs. site-installed systems
- Tools to document code adherence at modular section connections
