A.  The Legislature of Louisiana finds that, in an effort to meet the building needs within the state, the private construction industry has developed mass production techniques which can substantially reduce construction costs, and the mass production of buildings presents unique problems with respect to the establishment of uniform health and safety standards and inspection procedures.

B.  Due to the nature of the construction of modular building units, which arrive at the site of installation with some or all of the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and other systems already built into the unit and not able to be inspected at the site without disassembly or destruction, it is the purpose of this Part to provide for the inspection of modular building units for compliance with the building code at the place of manufacture.
