What does the manufactured housing in plant inspection program do?

Our State of Oregon inspectors assure: 

Manufacturers follow their approved quality assurance manuals. 

Manufacturers follow approved designs (plans). 

 

Part 3282.362-Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations 

 

Accordingly, our inspectors not only inspect individual units produced, but assess the effectiveness of the manufacturer's quality assurance system. 

What don't State of Oregon inspectors do?

They don't approve designs of manufactured homes; this is done by a Design Approval Primary Inspection Agency (DAPIA).  BCD inspectors assure that manufacturers are following DAPIA approved plans.

• That manufactured homes are built to the Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standard.

  
  
• Each home is inspected during some phase of construction. 
  
  
• That the State of Oregon is periodically audited by a HUD contractor to make sure we are effectively assuring that homes manufactured meet the manufactured housing standards. These are known as HBT audits.
