Awards Recognize Systems-Built Marketing and Design
The Building Systems Councils (BSC) of NAHB announced the winners of its annual Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards competition during the recent 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.
Behind its growing popularity, systems-built housing provides benefits — such as rapid construction time, controlled product quality and overall energy efficiency — that address such major challenges in the residential construction industry as a shortage of skilled labor, increases in building materials prices and implementing cost controls.

Excellence in Home Design — modular home over 2,300 square feet | “Systems-built housing is no longer considered a niche market within the home building industry,” said Kelly McNally, 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, which will be distributed during the 2006 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla. in January.
