Manufactured Home Foundation Engineering (HUD) in San Jose: Local Conditions That Matter
Santa Clara Valley has diverse soils from bay mud to sand. Geotechnical assessment informs foundation design. San Jose is in a seismic zone with activity from the San Andreas and Hayward Faults. Seismic design is required for most projects. Manufactured home foundations in San Jose must satisfy both HUD's national standard and California's registration requirements — and the design has to fit the soil actually under your pad. We engineer both into one stamped package.
