Default 3rd party inspection of modular home for export

Hi,

I intend to buy a modular home in the United States and export it to my home country Germany to have it assembled there. We have visited the manufacturing facility in the US and talked about potential business with the manufacturer. They confirmed that they would be able to build according to the German Building Code.

As manufactured homes are usually inspected before they leave the facility, I am looking for a third party inspection company, who could verify that the house was built according to German standard.

Would anyone have an idea to guide me into the right direction?

Thanks so much.

Where is the manufacturing facility and what are the German standards?
