True North Log Homes, a leading manufacturer of custom log homes, was awarded first place by the US-based National Association of Home Builders at the annual SHOWCASE awards ceremony in Memphis, TN on Nov 16th.
The Canadian company's plan book beat out 111 American entries in the category Excellence in Marketing and the Presentation of Home Plans. True North Log Homes' winning plan book introduces the ultimate in inspirational home planning ideas, capturing both current trends and classic beauty, while also providing the information resources consumers demand.
"This is truly a great honor - it's the housing industry's version of the Academy Awards," says Rob Wrightman, CEO of True North Log Homes. "We strive to always deliver the best products to our customers, and to be recognized with such a prestigious award is really exciting for us."
The True North plan book was launched earlier this year along with a new website www.truenorthloghomes.com. Both the plan book and the web site are well summarized by their opening quote: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away." True North has done an exceptional job of illustrating the log home lifestyle, as well as highlighting the technology and craftsmanship of their product - with truly breathtaking results. As the developers of the most technologically-advanced log home on the planet, and owners of 14 (soon to be 17) U.S. and Canada patents, True North's log homes provide customers with true dream homes. As a testimony to their technology they are the only log home company in the industry willing to offer a 25-Year "Zero" Air Infiltration Warranty with their homes.
The plan book and website features detailed information and photographs on their building process, floor plans and customer's homes all over the United States and Canada. True North Log Homes is known for custom homes, cabins and commercial building and their advanced one-of-a-kind patented systems. "The True North Log Homes plan book and website is an invaluable consumer resources that shouldn't be missed," says Wrightman.
Headquartered in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, True North's dealer network spans Canada and the US, with international sales all over the world. Canada has launched many new products in the global market, but the acclaim granted True North is clearly unsurpassed.
