The Building Systems Councils (BSC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) honored a member for a lifetime of service and achievement in advancing the systems-built industry and contributing to the efforts of the BSC.
Jim Webb, founder and President of Lok-N-Logs in Sherburne, N.Y., received the S.A. Walters Award last month at a ceremony held during at the BSC's annual SHOWCASE event in Memphis, Tenn. The award is given annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to the industrialized housing industry in the United States.
"The S.A. Walters award is a prestigious industry honor, voted on by the BSC Board of Trustees," said BSC Chairman Gary Grossman, president and CEO of Lancaster Redevelopment Corp. "Jim Webb has made some tremendous contributions to the log home industry and is widely respected by his peers. He cares deeply about the systems-built industry and is very deserving of this award."
Webb served as the Log Homes Council (LHC) president in 1984. During his tenure, he helped develop the annual Log Homes Council President's Tour--a conference that goes behind the scenes of log-home manufacturing facilities to analyze best practices and innovative solutions. He also served for many years on the LHC Ethics Committee.
Webb's company, Lok-N-Logs, continues to be a leader in the log home industry, with innovations in borate pressure-treated logs, kiln-dried logs, hand-peeled or shaped logs, solid-log or panelized walls, and even modular-log homes.
The S.A. Walters award is named after the first chairman of the Home Manufacturers Councils (HMC), now the Building Systems Councils of NAHB. Initially called the "Home Manufacturers Councils (HMC) Award," the award's name was changed to the S.A. Walters award upon Walter's death in 1987, the same year the HMC changed its name to the Building Systems Councils.
