What is Hayman Engineering Inc.?
Hayman Engineering Inc. is the first engineering company offering nationwide residential engineering services. We provide engineering certifications for manufactured housing and structural inspections for site-built housing.
What states do you cover?
Do you do FHA/HUD foundation certifications?
Yes, we provide FHA/HUD certifications in every state where we are licensed.
What is the turn around time?
Our typical turn around time is 3-5 business days. We have an expedited service available with a 24-48 hour turn around.
Do you require payment up front, or can your fee be paid at closing?
Our standard practice is to be paid up front, but we have a payment at closing option.
What is the cost?
There are some minor regional variations, but the charge is most areas is $425 when payment is received up front. We accept credit cards and process checks electronically for payment up front. There is an increased charge for payment at closing and expedited service.
What are the payment options at closing?
If the lender will guarantee payment whether the loan closes or not, the cost is $525 if paid at closing (or when the loan fails to close).
What if the foundation is not HUD compliant?
We issue a noncompliance letter listing the deficiencies. We also put you in touch with a local installer who can upgrade the foundation usually within three days. However, you may use anyone you wish to perform the required upgrades.
Who performs the upgrades?
Any adequately licensed contractor can perform the upgrades. We provide a referral from a company that maintains a nationwide network of installers who can complete the work within a few days.
What happens after the upgrades are performed?
A re-inspection can be scheduled at a reduced price (usually $185) or, in some cases, pictures can be sent in to evaluate the home for compliance.
How are your engineering certificates delivered?
We send our certificates via email. The original stays in our office. Upon request, we can send an initial “wet seal” of the engineering certificate to your office. However, the emailed versions are acceptable 99% of the time.
How do I make an order?
An order can be placed on our website under “Order Now.” You can also call the main office to place an order over the phone.
Inspector Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use home inspectors?
We contract with home inspectors to function as field technicians to collect data for Hayman Engineering Inc. We now have over 1000 home inspectors in our nationwide network.
What is the liability for these inspections?
Hayman Engineering Inc. carries E&O insurance coverage for the documents we issue. You have little to no E&O liability as you are only collecting information. You are not making any determination using the data. You do have general responsibility for any damage you may cause while you are on the property.
What do you pay for these inspections?
We pay $130 for the necessary foundation certification if we originate the order and $150 if you originate the order. The inspection takes typically 10-15 minutes.
