Where this fits in the build

This work is transport and set.

What to look for

Two photographs, and the difference between them

Tie-downs: what holds the home in a wind

Every home is anchored to the ground with steel straps. Whether they will hold is decided by two things you can see from the skirting line.

A galvanized tie-down strap running straight and tight from a manufactured home frame to a ground anchor set flush with the soil.
The strap runs straight and tight from the frame to an anchor set flush with the ground, in line with the pull. This is how it leaves a setup crew that anchored to the manual.
A twisted, slack tie-down strap on a manufactured home with the ground anchor head lifted out of the soil.
The strap is twisted and slack and the anchor head has lifted out of the ground. A loose strap holds nothing in a wind, and an anchor that has backed out will keep backing out.

Before private review

What a provider will usually need to know

You do not need every answer before asking for help. Share what you know so the scope is easier to understand.

1

Home type, dimensions, sections, make, model, and year if known

2

Current location and destination address or ZIP

3

Route, driveway, turn, slope, clearance, and staging details

4

Permit, foundation, site-readiness, and requested timing context

Timing and scope

A move depends on both the home and the destination.

Home condition, dimensions, permits, route constraints, site access, foundation readiness, weather, equipment needs, utility handoffs, and inspection responsibilities can change the plan. A provider may perform transport, setup, both, or only selected installation tasks.

When this help may fit
  • A new home needs delivery and installation at a prepared North Carolina site.
  • An existing mobile or manufactured home may be eligible for relocation and setup.
  • The project needs a clear installer scope, setup correction, or inspection closeout.
Questions to ask before work begins
  1. Which transport, escort, setup, anchoring, blocking, joining, trim, and inspection tasks are included?
  2. What permits, route survey, home documents, foundation readiness, and site-access conditions are required?
  3. Who is responsible for weather delays, site damage, crane or equipment needs, corrections, and final inspection items?
  4. Which utility, HVAC, deck, skirting, trim, or foundation tasks are excluded or assigned to other providers?
Documents and details to gather
  • Home manufacturer, model, dimensions, sections, serial information, current location, and destination.
  • Permit status, installation instructions, foundation or support plan, and dealer contract scope.
  • Route, bridge, road, driveway, turn, slope, overhead-clearance, staging, and equipment-access details.
  • A responsibility list for setup, utilities, inspections, corrections, finish work, and site restoration.
What may affect cost or timing
  • Project stage, location, access, timing, materials, and provider scope.
  • Whether the work is new, corrective, repair, finish, or post-install service work.
  • Permit, inspection, utility, lender, insurance, warranty, or local requirements.
  • How much coordination is needed with adjacent provider categories.
