South Carolina requires a licensed modular building manufacturer to post a $75,000 bond under the Modular Buildings Construction Act. Ours is $2,250 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every manufacturer. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your modular manufacturer license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, a few commercial questions, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with the Building Codes Council for your modular manufacturer license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Council insists.
$75,000 bond × 3% = $2,250, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
South Carolina's Modular Buildings Construction Act requires factory-built (modular) building manufacturers to be licensed and to post a surety bond. Licensing and inspection run through the Building Codes Council (within LLR), and the bond backs your compliance with the Act and the building standards modular units must meet.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee), with purchasers and the public as the protected parties. If a manufacturer violates the Act and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The manufacturer bond is set at $75,000; a manufacturer's representative posts $10,000. Manufacturers who follow the Act treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
