Portland, Oregon – The Oregon based factory built housing foundations systems manufacturer, FoundationWorks Inc., will be featured with Nationwide Custom Homes, at the 2005 International Builders Show, January 13-16, in Orlando, Florida.  Nationwide Custom Homes is a premier modular single family, multifamily, and commercial builder with locations throughout the Eastern United States.

“This is a phenomenal opportunity for FoundationWorks,” said Thom Cross, FoundationWorks’ CEO & Director.  “To make the leap to multi-story, modular homes is a significant step in the evolution of our company.  It demonstrates the strength and confidence of our proprietary systems by one of the country’s most recognized custom home builders.”

Cross also said,  “To be featured at the 2005 International Builders Show with Nationwide Custom Homes positions FoundationWorks as a permanent foundation solution for the broad modular building construction industry.  And, to be working on this introduction together with Palm Harbor Homes, the Parent Company to Nationwide and a known leader in the industry makes for an additional leap forward for FoundationWorks.  We are very excited by the message this sends to our customers, code officials, and lending institutions. Further, this comes at an excellent time in FoundationWorks growth and expansion, with the opening of the Company’s second manufacturing facility in Greensboro in early 2005.”

The International Builders Show is the world’s largest and most comprehensive building industry show in the world – over a million and a half square feet of the latest and most advanced building products ever assembled. See www.buildersshow.com.
