Modular Building Inspection Services

Why choose UL Solutions?

The plan review and inspections of modular buildings help provide confidence to architects, building manufacturers, building owners and code officials that the modular buildings meet or exceed code requirements.

Through our modular building inspection services, UL Solutions witnesses the construction of the modular unit before shipping. We observe various building systems in operation to assess whether buildings, fire, life safety, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems meet applicable code requirements.

We utilize a detailed, rigorous inspection process that results in an objective report of compliance gaps so you can make informed decisions before shipping.

Unlisted products/equipment

Does your building design include the use of non-listed building products? If yes, UL Solutions can provide a full certification or an on-site field evaluation. A  field evaluation is a process whereby products or equipment that do not have a certification acceptable to the code authorities, owner or other regulatory body can be evaluated to the applicable product safety standard(s) for the specific application and location where the product is being utilized. The process includes construction inspection for the use of components, assembly and limited nondestructive testing to complete the assessment.

Site-specific field evaluations help regulatory authorities determine the compliance of a product, leading to approval of the installation. Our evaluation process includes documentation review, visual and mechanical inspection, suitability for installation in accordance with the adopted installation code(s) such as the NEC, applicable testing and an engineering report. Our Field Evaluation services can be requested by anyone involved with the product, including business owners, manufacturers and contractors.
