Nov. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- WASHINGTON, DC - Southeast Wisconsin based log home manufacturer, Expedition Log Homes, LLC received a national home building accolade, capturing the Excellence in Home Design – Log Home 2001-3000 sq. ft. in the 2011 LHC Excellence in Home Design and Marketing Awards program. The honor was awarded by the Log Homes Council (LHC) and Building Systems Councils (BSC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)—a trade association that represents the concrete, log, modular, and panelized building system industries—at their annual awards program held earlier this month.

Sponsored by the NAHB Building Systems Councils, the LHC Excellence in Marketing and Home Design Awards has promoted excellence in the log home industry for more than ten years. All winners were announced at an awards luncheon in New Orleans, held in conjunction with the BSC SHOWCASE event—the leading trade show and conference based centered on the systems-built housing industry. Home manufacturers, builders and industry associates were among the groups recognized.

“This year’s award winners like Expedition Log Homes prove that despite a sluggish housing market, the systems-built industry is raising the bar in residential marketing and home design concepts,” said BSC Chairman Vic DePhillips, a modular manufacturer from Moosic, Pa. “Our award winners are adding credibility to their businesses and shedding a positive light on the building systems industry as a whole.”

The annual BSC & LHC Excellence Awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and companies like Expedition Log Homes were given praise for the quality of their submittals.

“It is truly an honor to receive the LHC Excellence Award for Home Design,” said Jan Koepsell, company co-owner . “At Expedition Log Homes , we strive to provide innovative, practical housing solutions celebrating & embracing the beauty of logs. This award shows the hard work and vision of Expedition Log Homes dedicated employees. It is a proud day for me and for Expedition Log Homes.”

Awardees were recognized for excellence in achievement in several marketing and design categories and covered a range of concrete, log, modular and panelized homes.  
There were scores of entries submitted for award categories ranging from Home Design, Outstanding Model/Sales Center, to Presentation of Home Plans and Best Web site.

ABOUT THE BSC: The Building Systems Councils of the National Association of Home Builders is made up of manufacturing, builder, and associate members who advocate building with systems. Systems-built homes are constructed with concrete, log, modular, or panelized systems.  They are constructed to the same code standards and reflect the same, and often enhanced, quality levels as any site-built construction. The advantage of systems-building is it’s done in a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the waste, reducing costly weather exposure.  Many systems-built homes are inherently “green,” adding an environmentally friendly label to the product.
