RE: CLOSING OF MODULAR COMPLAINT
File Nbr: M08 -0035
Please be aware that this office has jurisdiction only over manufacture of the home in the manufacturing
plant with responsibility only to assure compliance with the North Carolina Building Codes. Set -up of the
home is under the jurisdiction of the local inspections department with responsibility also only to assure
compliance with the North Carolina Building Codes. Contractual and /or cosmetic Items are not under the
jurisdiction of either this office or the local inspections department.
Review of your complaint reveals that the entirety of its content is relative to the set -up of the home,
therefore, this office has no jurisdiction.
In accordance with the North Carolina General Statutes and the North Carolina Building Codes, "any
person, firm, or corporation that undertakes to erect a modular building must have either a valid North
Carolina General Contractor's License or provide a $5,000 surety bond for each modular building to be
erected ". In this respect, you should contact the local building inspections department to determine if the
set -up contractor was licensed or furnished the bond. If the contractor was licensed, you may file a
complaint with the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors (Phone: 919 - 571 -0183) and if
a bond was provided, you may file against the bond. The bond information should be on file with the local
inspections department. You may also wish to file a complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General's
Office, Consumer Protection Division (Phone: 919 - 716 - 6000).
If, at any time, it is determined that building code violations exist in the home as constructed in the
factory, please contact this office .
Sincerely,
Michael Hamm

MEMORANDUM

TO:
North Carolina Modular Consumers and Other Interested Parties
FROM:
Alan D. Greene, P.E.
Chief Building Code Consultant
Manufactured Building Division
SUBJECT:
Filing Claims against $5,000 Modular Surety Bonds
If someone undertakes to erect a modular building, but is not licensed as a general contractor
pursuant to N.C.G.S. §87 -1, he must provide the local building official with a $5,000 surety
bond for each modular building to be erected. This bond shall remain in full force and effect
for one year following the issuance of the certificate of compliance for the modular building.
The modular building must be erected according to the manufacturer's installation instructions
and any applicable provisions of the State Building Code.
If the party that set up your modular home or building did so under the $5,000 surety bond
option as described above, and you feel that you have cause to file against this bond, you
should contact the local inspection department where the permit for the home or building was
issued. Obtain a copy of the bond and contact the bonding company directly. They will
provide detailed instructions as to the steps that are necessary for filing a claim, the
information that must be provided, etc.
