DIRECTOR’S LETTER
THE GREENING OF FACTORY
BUILT HOUSING
Thanks to all for your well wishes.
Baby and I are doing fine and are
taking sleep deprivation quite
well. I regret not being able to see
everyone at the conference but
sometimes nature wins out – I will
be back in the office on October
9th and look forward to catching
up with everyone. I did want to
take a few moments to discuss an
event I attended shortly before the
conference. I found it eye opening to how the outside world
views our product – so here
goes….
The week before the RMHA Annual Conference, I attended a
luncheon entitled “The Modular
Moment” put on by the Urban
Land Institute and Housing Colorado. The featured speaker was
Michelle Kaufmann. Many of
you may have heard of her before,
she is best known as the architect
of “the glide house” a modern,
green modular home.
Prior to this luncheon, I didn’t
know what to expect. In my
mind, I could never really understand the hype surrounding the
glide house – to me it had always
just looked like a double-wide
with a modern design. In other
words, a basic home with new
wrapping paper but after I went to
this luncheon – I started to under-
stand. The key to the glide house
hype in my mind was “Green”.
Factory-built and Green, give us
increased efficiency and certainly
more cache. There were about
100 attendees at this luncheon,
most of which were architects and
developers. They were fascinated
by the efficiency of the modular
process. And come to think of it,
I get asked a lot if we can build
“green.” Now granted there are
many different definitions of
green from E-Star to LEEDS and
everything in between but, this
does seem like a niche we in the
factory built business may be particularly well suited to take up but
have not seriously considered.
“Green” has become a buzzword
among consumers in recent years.
It is hip in the celebrity world and
is increasingly on everyone’s conscious. I was honestly amazed at
the amount of interest at this
luncheon. It was a like a huge
commercial for green building
through the factory built process
and people were eating it up with
a spoon. Attendees were really
looking at green modulars as a
way to cut costs in the construction process and give value
(affordability) long term plus, do
something that in their mind was
innovative.
If you have not seriously considered the “greening” of modular, it
may be time. Judging by the
enormous interest at this luncheon and inquiries I receive at the
Association, this is a niche worth
exploring. It is an emerging area
of construction where we could
really make our mark.

In the past few months I
have had the pleasure of
traveling around our beautiful state. The Division of
Housing is sponsoring six
installation workshops in
various locations in Colorado. The series of workshops was kicked off July
18th & 19th in Durango
(IRC), followed by two
workshops (HUD) July
24th in Denver and July
26th in Grand Junction
with the most recent (IRC)
August 7th & 8th in Grand
Junction. Unfortunately,
the attendance thus far has
been below the anticipated
numbers. July and August
are busy months for home
building in our state, this
is one of the reasons
many in the industry
have chosen not to attend. Another reason is
the unfortunate short notice. The professional
group which has generated the most response in
attendance to date are the
INSPECTORS. After the
workshops, the inspectors
have a heightened awareness and knowledge of
proper and improper installation practices. On
the other side, attendance
from the categories of
DEVELOPERS and INSTALLERS has been
very low. This is very
unfortunate. There are
many benefits to attending trainings where local
inspectors are present.
During and after the
workshops, I have heard
many comments like: “If
I would have known this
information earlier I
would have saved myself
a lot of time and money,”
along with “This is a
really good and informa-
tive class.”
One of the most important things that I have
learned through these
classes is, in order protect the integrity of a
home (and our industry)
proper lot grading and
installation is key. With
two workshops remaining, I am encouraging
our members and others
in the industry to attend
one of the events. The
reputation of the factory
built home industry and
the businesses associated
with it are supported by
everyone working together to produce the
highest quality finished
product possible.
There are two more
workshops scheduled.
The remaining dates are
September 19th & 20th
(IRC) in Colorado
Springs and October 17th
& 18th (IRC) in Denver.
The October workshop

still time to register for the
Colorado Springs event.
There are many benefits to
attending the workshops
and the out-of-pocket expenses are minimal considering the workshops, food
during class times and hotel rooms are all being paid
for by the Division of
Housing. If you would
like to register yourself

The 2007 Conference Golf
Tournament was held on
Wednesday, August 22nd at
Legacy Ridge Golf Course in
Westminster, CO. The tournament sponsor was Western Pacific Insurance Network, Inc.
Prior to the 8 AM shotgun start,
the golfers were welcomed at
registration by Linda Loner,
Equity Lifestyle Properties,
where they received breakfast, a
goodie bag, and were able to
purchase mulligans. In addition
to the mulligan sales to raise
funds, Steve Peyton, First
American Mortgage, would
offer to hit a drive for each team
on hole #3. If the team chose to
use his drive then they would
pay $5. The total collected for
mulligan sales and Steve’s drives
was $350.00.
The weather for the tournament
was pleasant. Mother Nature provided temperatures cooler than
the mid to upper 90’s that the area
had experienced the week prior.
There were a total of 40 golfers
playing in the tournament. The
winning teams were: 1st place Topher Beard, Katie Gregory,
John Lindstrom and Scott Jewel,
2nd place – Brad Waite, David
Keck, Rich Stewart and Tony
Wicke, 3rd place – Bill Day Sr.,
Bill Day Jr., Tracy Day and Joe

players and pre-conference workshop attendees gathered at the
golf course for the golf awards
