Cavco Homes Joins NBC’S “American Dream Builders”

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 08, 2014

Cavco Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) and Palm Harbor Homes today announced that they will be joining NBC's "American Dream Builders" for an upcoming episode to air on Sunday, April 13, 2014. "American Dream Builders" is a one-hour reality competition series that premiered March 23 at 8/7c and is hosted by renowned designer Nate Berkus. Cavco Homes and Palm Harbor Homes built modular homes called Eco-cottages for one of the show's design competitions.

As long-time national builders of modular homes and cottages, Cavco and Palm Harbor Homes are perfectly aligned to assist "American Dream Builders" with this important task. Delivering high quality homes built to exacting specifications at a remote site on a tight time schedule is routine for these homebuilders. Although Cavco and Palm Harbor can and do build many homes in excess of 3,000 square feet, they also build efficiently designed green cottages like the ones that will be showcased and decorated on "American Dream Builders." After the episode, the Eco-cottages will be transported to KOA's Ventura Ranch Resort (http://www.venturaranchkoa.com) in Santa Paula, California, where they will be used as recreational rental cottages.

Joe Stegmayer, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer of Cavco Industries, Inc., explained, "We are always excited about opportunities to showcase the unique flexibility and quality of modular home construction. Smaller, more energy efficient homes are a growing part of our industry. It is a special assignment for us to be providing small footprint living spaces for these designers to demonstrate tips and techniques to maximize every area of the home for multiple uses while keeping it stylish and livable. We are proud to be the first modular home building company to work with "American Dream Builders" in its inaugural season."

In addition to being shown on "American Dream Builders," the winning designer's home from this episode will also be featured in a photo spread in an upcoming edition of "Better Homes & Gardens."
