Guidelines For Obtaining an Installation Permit

Modular buildings are regulated in Arizona by the Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety Office of Manufactured Housing; depending where your project will be set your local jurisdiction may accept the State permit application and inspect the modular project themselves or contract with the State to have Arizona oversee the entirety of the modular installation. In either case, the “code” set requires for State approval:

1. Zoning approval of your local jurisdiction.
2. One line utility drawings for all utility connections to the modular.
3. Engineered modular foundation plans – which DMI will provide for your modular project.

All other permits for construction and approval of your modular building take place away from the actual site – in the factory – greatly speeding up the process and eliminating the time spent waiting for subcontractors, other trades and weather.

Modular Construction

Factory production allows consistent and high quality labor and materials to be used on each and every modular building. There aren’t the delays caused by weather, trades or sub contractors. While your site is being prepared your new office, church, school or building is being constructed AND approved by the State of Arizona. That’s it – no on site inspection for concrete, electrical, interior finish, HVAC – your entire building is delivered approved and ready for installation.

  • Pre engineered.

  • Factory provides all construction permits.

  • Customer access to the Factory process.

  • Standard quality construction methods.

  • Controlled construction environment.

Site Preparation and Installation

Your modular can be ‘set’ above grade, requiring ADA ramps and accompanying steps, or ‘set’ at grade – the threshold of your new building level with street access. It is up to you and the site development you are planning. In either case a clear and level site is all that is required. No concrete foundation required, no special preparation besides compact, firm ground – you are ready to go.
