ABOUT
THE BSC: The Building Systems Councils of the National
Association of Home Builders is made up of manufacturer, builder, and associate
members who advocate building with concrete, log, modular, or panelized systems.
Systems-built homes 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, which can significantly reduce
costs. Many systems-built homes also are inherently environmentally
friendly adding a “green” label to the finished home.
