Prefab Construction: Jeriko House Breaking Ground on Many 'Platforms'
NEW ORLEANS, July 25, 2007 -- Jeriko House, LLC Founder and
CEO Shawn Burst announced today that the company is beginning to thrive on many fronts. New projects are underway, consumer and contractor demand is on the rise and implementation of the Jeriko House philosophy is starting to take hold in the prefab building community.
Jeriko House is living up to its name, not only in the eyes of interested homeowners, but to suppliers and home builders alike. Said Burst: "We'd like to think we own up to our slogan: 'The Platform for Living.'" Jeriko House hopes to be the hub - the foundation - for the collaborative spirit: "out of collaboration comes innovation and in the end innovation results in better business solutions and ultimately lower cost to the end user," said Burst.
There is a plug-n-play aspect to the Jeriko House prefab system. When you think of all of the components of a home - windows, doors, floors, walls, lighting, plumbing - it inherently creates a necessary connectivity with builders. This, Burst hopes, will "make us not only a platform for living but the platform for innovative building."
With three projects currently underway and larger scale multi-unit projects on the horizon, Jeriko is taking hold and growing. Three structures are now under construction in Louisiana: a 4320-sq-ft Lakefront home; a 5500-sq-ft luxury home in Mandeville; and a 250-sq-ft garden retreat in Metairie. All structures exemplify the Jeriko commitment to excellence, innovation and structure diversity.
The newly launched Jeriko House website
(http://www.jerikohouse.com) has fostered some 3,000
inquiries from prospective home builders and home owners who find the luxury modular prefab construction extremely appealing. The site boasts clever and effective interactivity and consumer design and research tools as well as a soon-to-be-released user interface called the "Configurator," which will allow homeowners to design and up-fit their dream homes virtually to start the process.
But Jeriko House has always been much more than homes. The Jeriko House process is bringing new light to the modular/prefab construction concept. The methodology truly brings flexibility to the forefront. The process can be used to design a dream house or a lifeguard stand, a mobile medical unit or a backyard yoga sanctuary - the possibilities are endless. As the Jeriko philosophy steadily takes hold, they are not forgetting their roots: For every 10th Jeriko House sold, those ten homeowners will form a committee that votes to give a Jeriko House to a family in need somewhere in the U.S. That is certainly a platform not only for living but for conducting business and giving back to the community.
