Modular Home Builders Association Calls for Industry to Unite
The Modular Home Builders Association (formerly the Modular
Building Systems Association) has announced the launch of its new industry
initiative to finally unite the modular home building industry under one
national association. For years, the modular home industry has been fragmented
and disjointed, underserved and underrepresented by committees, councils and
for-profit entities that have come and gone. The Modular Home Builders
Association (MHBA) is the only full-service national organization dedicated exclusively
to International Residential Code (IRC) built modular homes.
Having grown from 2 to 30 member companies in the past year while
restructuring, MHBA will continue to attract more modular home builders and
manufacturers, as well as suppliers of services and materials. Home builders
are on the front line, dealing with local code officials daily and selling our
industry to the customers. MHBA is there to support their efforts. The
association will have a dual focus of promoting the advantages of modular
construction to the home buying public while representing the industry on
regulatory and legislative advocacy efforts within various state agencies.
Member companies will also receive referrals of interested home buyers from the
MHBA website and be eligible for other member benefits.
Additionally, the association will host an industry conference in the late
spring in the
area. Presentations will come from a variety of perspectives and cover the
latest trends, technology, issues and opportunities in the modular home
industry.
