Manufactured structures are evaluated based on:

Manufactured structures are evaluated primarily on their compliance with pre-established safety criteria. This adherence ensures that the structures meet specific standards for safety, quality, and durability as defined by building codes and regulations. These criteria are essential for ensuring the well-being of occupants and the overall integrity of the structure.

Safety standards include various factors such as structural load requirements, fire safety measures, environmental considerations, and accessibility standards. By focusing on compliance with these established criteria, manufactured homes can be verified for safety and performance, thus protecting residents and the investment in such properties.

While aspects like the aesthetic preferences of the owner, market demand, and the opinions of independent inspectors may influence the design, value, and quality of manufactured structures, they do not take precedence over the fundamental requirement for safety compliance. Manufacturers are obligated to ensure that their products align with the regulatory framework governing construction and safety to be deemed acceptable for use.
