Editor Earns Prestigious Home Builders Award
Homes constructed with building systems, cutting edge technology that allows construction to be completed far faster and with greater precision, accounts for more than 30% of all housing starts in the United States today.
Industry leaders in this fast growing field have singled out the editor of a trade publication for the leadership role he has undertaken over the last decade. Charles Bevier, editor of Building Systems magazine, received the S.A. Walters Chairman's Award at Showcase 2005 in Louisville, KY. The prize is awarded annually by the board of trustees of the Building Systems Councils of the National Association of Home Builders (Washington, DC). The prize is the most prestigious in this home building category, which includes concrete, log, modular and panelized homes.
"It's easy to be enthusiastic about these industries, which deliver the American dream of a new home quicker and with better quality," says Bevier in accepting the award. "I'm honored to be a part of the success story of these building systems, which have experienced double digit growth over the last decade. I look forward to profiling these industries increased market share in the years to come, as more and more builders and consumers embrace a better way to build."
The New York Times, USA Today, Time, Newsweek and scores of other media outlets have all quoted Bevier when documenting the growth and innovation in the building systems industries. Bevier has also received awards from Folio for excellence in magazine design and is a recipient of the Hearst Journalism Award for outstanding reporting.
