Awards Recognize Systems-Built Marketing and Design

The Building Systems Councils (BSC) announced the winners of its annual Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards competition during the Building Systems Councils’ SHOWCASE held in Hilton Head, S.C. recently. 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.

This year, the BSC honored 34 winning entries and nine honorable mentions in 25 marketing and design categories. Companies were also honored for their involvement in the annual BSC Habitat for Humanity home constructed this year in central Pennsylvania.

“The Excellence in Marketing and Home Design Awards recognize the best and most creative work in systems-built housing,” said Rob Cantrell, of Stone Mill Log Homes in Knoxville, Tenn. and BSC chairman. “We are thrilled to honor the achievements of those professionals that have gone above and beyond in their efforts and can truly be considered industry leaders for their work.”
