N.C. Panelizer William Dudley Named 2007 Chair of BSC

William Dudley, a panel home manufacturer based in Fayetteville, N.C., was named the 2007 chairman of the Building Systems Councils (BSC) Board of Trustees at the International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla. earlier this month.

A second generation home builder, Dudley is president of Carolina Model Home Corporation (CMH), which was founded in 1957 to create affordable, quality built homes.

CMH opened its panel manufacturing facility in 1969 for the express purpose of offering high-quality building components, efficient and cost-effective construction processes and state-of-the-art engineering methods.

“The diverse applications of today’s systems building represent an increasing segment of the home building market, and one which I believe will continue to grow and evolve for many years to come,” said Dudley.

As chairman, Dudley will oversee six sub-councils and supporting committees. Dudley will also represent the councils’ interests throughout the industry and the NAHB federation.

“In my 10 years with the Building Systems Councils, I have discovered that the BSC members are a unique group of manufacturers and builders — all with a strong entrepreneurial spirit — who have volunteered to work together to grow our industry. I am honored to be chosen as chairman of such a dedicated group,” Dudley added.



Mark Your Calendar for the BSC Modular and Panel Plant Tour

Save the date for the 2007 Building Systems Councils Modular and Panel Plant Tour from May 20-22 in Roanoke, Va.

The tour will provide interested builders the chance to go behind the scenes of the fastest growing segment of the residential construction industry with visits to up to four manufacturing facilities in just two days.

Builders on the tour will see the quality and efficiency of modular and panelized homes and have the chance to meet and network with building systems professionals from across the country.
