Lindal Cedar Homes Receives National Award

The National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Building Systems Council announced Lindal Cedar Homes as a winner of its annual Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards. This award was presented in Louisville, KY at the Building Systems Councils' annual Showcase event. The award honored Lindal Cedar Homes in two categories: winner for manufacturer presentation of home plans and co-winner for the redesign of the Lindal Cedar Homes web site (www.lindal.com).

The Building Systems Council represents the systems-built housing industry—homes that are systems built before being transported to the home site to be completed. This is among the fastest-growing segments of the residential construction industry. The Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards salute the finest in technology-driven, and building designs in the timber frame, log, modular, and panelized home building industries.

Founded in 1945, and with more than 50,000 homes built since, Lindal Cedar Homes is now the largest designer and manufacturer of custom post and beam cedar homes in the world. "At Lindal Cedar Homes, the high quality of the construction and increasingly sophisticated designs make for cutting-edge technology," says Lou Carlascio, VP of sales and marketing. "All of Lindal's homes are created not just to be attractive and conventional, but with our technology, they'll be constructed to the uppermost standards within the industry."

The benefits of building with systems are plentiful, including rapid construction time, low impact on the surrounding environment, controlled product quality and overall energy efficiency into the design of the home. These solutions address some of the residential construction industry's current challenges: a shortage of skilled labor, building materials price increases and cost control. As energy costs continue to rise, consumers are looking to systems built companies such as Lindal to assist them in ways to reduce their energy consumption during the building process. Homebuilders are responding accordingly, and are rapidly integrating systems-built construction like Lindal Cedar Homes.
