As Melodika tells MHProNews, the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Building Systems Council (BSC) awarded Epoch Homes first place for the best 3,001-4,000 square foot modular home at their Jerry Rouleau awards Showcase. Epoch also won first place for Excellence in Design-Green Building. With numerous honors under its belt, the company built this ocean front home on Cape Cod, Mass. in conjunction with Old Harbor Homes, incorporating structural elements to take advantage of the expansive view as well as to resist strong storms. John Ela, Epoch CEO stated, “We often say that modular should be viewed as a construction technology that saves time and money, rather than a particular look, or a cookie cutter design, and this home is a great illustration. Our long history of building award winning homes has gone a long way to dispel old myths and misunderstandings about modular homes. (They) are faster, lower cost, higher quality and lower risk, than other construction technologies.” Now in its 30th year, Epoch has been a trailblazer in the green technology modular home movement, including LEED Certification and the National Green Building Standard Emerald level.
