The problem for the company was the owner is a retired contractor and called in the County & a State inspectors & pointed everything out to them. The County inspector wouldn't let them finish until everything met code. The State inspector instigated an inspection of the plant where they produced the modules. The owner also got a $32K rebate from the manufacturer for his trouble & inconvenience. Modular homes are potentially quality constructed but with this one there were problems.
Architect and builder dropped the ball thinking prefab company would do the homework on code. All this should have been review (if I were the contractor, I would have slept with those plans for a few days) before it went to fabrication.
