Watch: What the Third-Party Review Process Means for Modular Buildings
Video Overview
This video explains the third-party plan review and inspection process for modular buildings, including what it involves, when it’s required, and how it helps ensure code compliance before a structure reaches the job site.
Key Highlights from the Video
In this video, you’ll get a closer look at how third-party plan review and inspection ensure modular buildings meet code requirements before delivery:
- What the Third-Party Process Is: A series of plan reviews and inspections conducted at the manufacturing facility to verify compliance with energy, electrical, and plumbing codes.
- Verified Before Delivery: Buildings that complete the process receive a state insignia, confirming they are code-compliant and ready for occupancy upon arrival.
- Supports Quality and Compliance: Third-party review helps ensure both regulatory requirements and internal quality standards are met during fabrication.
- When It’s Required: Applies to factory-assembled modular buildings in certain states and jurisdictions, depending on local codes and project requirements.
- Applies Across Product Types: Includes both panelized and welded steel modular buildings.
- Managed by Panel Built: Panel Built works directly with state programs and third-party agencies to handle compliance and documentation.
- Key Question to Ask Early: Does your local building official require approval through the state’s manufactured buildings program?
Why This Process Matters
Third-party review is an important step in ensuring modular buildings meet the specific codes of the location where they’ll be installed. By completing inspections at the manufacturing stage, buildings can arrive on-site ready for installation and occupancy without additional field review.
Because Panel Built manages this process in-house and works with multiple agencies, customers don’t have to navigate the requirements on their own, helping keep projects on schedule and compliant from the start.
