The manner in which the block foundation is installed depends on the building codes in your area. Contact the office that issues the permits and ask about requirements.

Build your footings on piers under the mobile home. Use cinder blocks to double block it. Pay attention to the weight distribution and levelling. Remember that the most weight of a mobile home is in the middle because of IBeams and load bearing walls in the middle.

There are rules and guidelines about the basic dimensions and material needed for the foundation - you probably need concrete for these. Where do you stay? Before you proceed please recheck with local authorities about what these guidelines are. You'll be safer and not get into unnecessary problems.

You need a level. Make sure to level off the foundation regardless if you are using a concrete or packed earth method. Run the pipes for the water and sewage and room for the electrical and natural gas piping.

The best thing to do id dig the foundation out 6 inches to ensure the ground is level when you are done with it. Pour concrete or place the blocks inside the level 6 inch space you dug out and that should create a good support from your new home.
