Cavco Industries, Inc.’s Post

I'm experienced enough to know you don't have to respect your leader, but I'm also experienced enough to know that you are really blessed when you can and do respect your company leader. Bill Boor, Cavco's CEO, leads with a passion for providing quality, affordable homes, both for our customers and for our Cavco Industries, Inc. team members. He believes in the long-term positive impact of homeownership for families and communities, alike. It is his personal and professional NORTH STAR for everything, including our internal charitable fund, Homes for Our Own, where employees contribute to help provide homes for fellow team members who want to become homeowners but just need a little extra education and support. #Leadership #Lovewhatyoudo #Lovewhereyouwork #affordablehomes #manufacturedhomes #modularhomes #mobilehomes

Virdi which kicked off a pre-fab business with plant and equipment picked up in the wake of the #strongbuild failure is in a deed of company arrangement and CEO Ben Nurmi is confident it will pull out of it in 18 months. A schools contract from the NSW gov will help. But overall a great interview with Ben about this fascinating space, which we'll be doing more on. He's a real bright spark with clearly good understanding of the business - a background in tech and business scaling helps. And also his nous for consumer demands: “Seven, eight years ago, it was sit down around a table and pick out your tapware and pick out your tiles and whatever else. And it's now sort of, ‘what can I get that's value for money? As long as the tap turns on and off, and water comes out…’ that's where there is a segment of the market that's sitting in that piece. “And I think that's where, where realistically, modern methods of construction will do quite well. You're never going to compete with that $2 million custom built house.

Great little feature here on MMC in the Australian Broker. There is lots of terminology kicked about in this space and they all have a different meaning— MMC, industrialised building, prefabrication, offsite manufacturing, modular construction, DfM, DfMA, alternative construction techniques, smart building etc etc Let's consider Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) as an overarching category. By doing so, the focus shifts to identifying the specific aspects of MMC that we are investigating, funding, and investing in, understanding their current stage of development, and assessing their potential impact on housing supply in both the short and long term. Naturally, it's easy to focus on whether to view some of this as a cost or an investment. Of course, low-scale production of modular homes will be expensive right now if the market (orders are low). Similarly, investing in the development of an entirely new industry is expensive when there is so much need now. However, I'm sure we considered that when we invested in the light bulb, motor vehicle, computers, and mobile phones. It seems to me that government and industry both have a role to play in delivering right now and developing for the future. We should also acknowledge that many of these techniques have been embedded into private sector development for many, many years. I am largely referring to the role govt and industry should play together here 🤝 I like the direction of the national advanced manufacturing agenda, and that is the sort of visionary thinking this second part of the MMC equation requires in my opinion. Our state govt was one of the first out the gates with a modular program, but let’s lead hard on this whole agenda before someone else swoops in and beats us to the prize.

Nicholas Azevedo (from another operating arm of our group of companies, True North Thinking Inc.), in the field; helping to apply the concepts of conflow production, standardized work and built in quality in the residential construction industry. Changing how things are done is the ONLY way to change the results in the housing industry. By borrowing from the methods that improved the quality in the automotive industry, we are improving the mediocre (at best) quality, high costs and poor lead-time potential home buyers have struggled with for decades! #residentialconstruction #construction #conflowproduction #industrializedconstruction #toyotaproductionsystem #housing #housingcrisis #Ontario #quality #costreduction

With the stigmas surrounding manufactured housing, many think they are built with different materials. However, this is simply untrue. Manufactured Homes are built with most of the same materials as traditional "stick-built" homes! Tune in next Thursday to learn more about the Manufactured Housing industry and the homes themselves. #DidYouKnow #FunFacts #ManufacturedHomes #ManufacturedHousingCommunity #RootsManagementGroup

Tale of two end markets unfolding for building products in 2024... For those exposed to single-family construction, a building material boom is coming. For those largely exposed to multifamily, expect a material bust.

Good news! I'm guessing MBI is gonna have a fit about mixing these terms 😂 though Modular as a term is anything "constructed with standardized units or dimensions for flexibility and variety in use." And Manufactured Housing is still the only segment that can deliver uniform affordable single family sustainably without subsidies. Too bad zoning has crushed that amazing solution in many places.
