Moving and hooking up a manufactured home

Post by Gabriel » Mon Feb 07, 2005 8:05 pm

I found a brand new manufactured home 1,200 sqfeet for sale. It was manufactured as a class project by the local high school students. I would like to buy it and install on a lot in my city. I am looking for advise on how to start the process and what are the necessary steps. I am assuming I need to find somebody to transport it to the desired location first. Are there specialized companies that do that? If yes, how can I find them? Would they be responsible for any damage during trasportation? Second, what deprtment in the city I have to check with in regards to the codes and things like that. Also what kind of contractor I need for the fundation? What kind of money I would be looking at?

If anybody can help, please drop me an email at [email protected]

Most "manufacutred homes" built by school voc ed programs are built without carriers and the kind of reinforcements used by modular builders. Typically they require a house moving crew of the sort that would move a conventional house.
