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,” said Executive Director Tom
Hardiman. “As the only full-service national organization dedicated exclusively
to International Residential Code (IRC) built modular homes, the Modular Home
Builders Association (MHBA) will bring the industry together.”

MHBA has spent the past year rebuilding under new
management. Having grown from 2 to 30 member companies during 2013, MHBA will
continue to attract more modular home builders and manufacturers, as well as
suppliers of services and materials.
The association has 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 also receive referrals of interested home buyers
from the MHBA website and are eligible for other member benefits such as Home
of the Month, VIP discounts and affinity programs.
To facilitate networking, education and discussion, the
association will host two industry conferences in 2014. The first is slated for
late spring in the
area, and the second will be held in the fall (location TBA). Presentations
will come from a variety of perspectives and cover the latest trends,
technology, issues and opportunities in the modular home industry.
