FoundationWorks offers significant benefits for all key participants of the Factory Built homes industry and marketplace

ADVANTAGES FOR THE HOMEOWNER: The FoundationWorks system (PSC/MSC + PSW) provides better performance at a lower cost. The homeowner can save money on the purchase costs and the finance costs. They will also appreciate the solid feel of the home and will rest easier because the home is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Homeowners will also appreciate the true residential look and feel of more costly "stick-built" foundations. Again, better performance equals fewer service claims and a happier homeowner.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE BUILDER: The FoundationWorks System (PSC/MSC + PSW) allows the home to perform better under normal conditions, as well as under severe environmental circumstances. Improved home performance can reduce warranty claims and disputes such as warped floors, caused by moisture or water retention, typical with common slabs. The support provided by the FoundationWorks system distributes the dead load weight and the live load weight more evenly throughout the home, reducing the risk damage to the floors and the perimeter wall. The FoundationWorks system allows for new home installation even when the weather refuses to cooperate. This reduces delivery delays and cracked concrete slabs that can be the result of premature deliveries. Because of the huge cost savings, the homeowner has the ability to choose more options or even a larger home, resulting in a more satisfied customer.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE RETAILER: The FoundationWorks system (PSC/MSC + PSW) allows the retailer to sell a complete home, with installation, at a lower price. If weather is an issue, the sale can be completed faster since a solid foundation is possible in weather that forces delays with site poured concrete foundations. Better home performance leads to fewer service calls such as calls to re-level the home, thus increasing loyalty and the potential for referrals. FoundationWorks training and support literature is an extremely valuable asset that will help the retailer to educate the homeowner on all of the benefits of the FoundationWorks system.

ADVANTAGES FOR LENDING INSTITUTIONS: The lower cost of the FoundationWorks system (PSC/MSC + PSW) can lower the overall loan amount, making it easier for the buyer to qualify and increasing the buyer's total "loan to value." Because the FoundationWorks system performs better in extreme environmental conditions, the risk of loss is reduced and the improved home performance produces a homeowner that will truly take pride in their investment.

ADVANTAGES FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES: The FoundationWorks system (PSC/MSC + PSW) reduces the insurance risk of losses by reducing the losses that arise from improper home installation and by withstanding extreme environmental conditions that could destroy the home if it were on another type of foundation.
