WASHINGTON, Nov. 21- The Building Systems Councils (BSC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) announced the winners of its annual Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards competition during last week’s Building Systems Councils’ SHOWCASE event in Louisville, KY. The awards honor the builders and manufacturers responsible for the finest marketing materials and home designs in the concrete, log, modular, and panelized home building industry.
The popularity of systems-built homes has been growing recently with consumers and builders alike. The benefits of building with systems—including rapid construction time, controlled product quality and overall energy efficiency—address some of the residential construction industry’s current challenges: a shortage of skilled labor, building materials price increases and cost control.
“Systems-built housing is no longer considered a niche market within the home building industry,” said Kelly Romigh, chairman of the BSC’s Sales & Marketing Committee. “Today, many new homes are constructed with a building system, such as a simple roof truss or insulated concrete form foundation. As consumers and builders look forward to retaining the custom-design charm of modern homes while speeding up their construction time, systems-built housing is an increasingly popular construction option.”
The award winners listed below will be featured in the January/February 2006 issue of Building Systems Magazine that will be distributed during the 2006 International Builders’ Show. More information on the Building Systems Councils and the systems-built housing industry can be found online at www.nahb.org/buildingsystems.
