Steel Homes in cherokee village -- North Little Rock Vendor

Hi Forum,

I continue to be interested in steel home construction. Here is a list of pluses mentioned on a website of a North Little Rock seller of Kodiak:

TORNADOS Strong wind storm protection with our standard 140mph four hour wind load (160mph three second gust).
FIRES AND TERMITES No wood sheathing board required on the roof or the walls means nothing to burn and nothing for termites to eat.
EARTHQUAKES Our homes are designed to meet some of the worlds strongest seismic loads.
MAINTENANCE Our almost maintenance free exterior saves you money year after year.
HAIL Impact resistant roofing and siding may save you even more on insurance.
QUALITY Straight walls and top quality components give you a home that will last for generations.
BEAUTY Great looking homes and easily modified floor plans give you the home that’s just right for you.

Hi Forum,

I just received this update by email:


Important Kodiak Update
We are having a seminar and home tour on February 26, 2011 and seats are filling up fast. Call today to reserve your place 800-278-0888.
So that you can own the strongest and safest home in America, we have lowered prices to levels not seen since 2006.
Due to rising steel prices our cost will go up 14% after March 1st 2011 and we anticipate a similar rise in early April. Here is a link to one of many current articles about rising steel costs: online.wsj.com/article

Hi Forum,

Firstly, I just want to make a disclaimer that I am in no way connected to this company. They just happen to be local and in a field of home construction that truly interests me. I just found the following video on what they do and the features of these homes in terms of durability, fire, and storms. It seems that such houses make a lot of sense for the area -- especially for people who may not live in CV year-round. Here's the video:

Hi Forum,

Here is a recent update from this vendor in North Little Rock. I personally remain interested in their homes and would love to hear from anyone who has attended a seminar of theirs or built such a home. Here's their recent update:




OUR LOWEST PRICING SINCE 2006
BIG PRICE INCREASE MARCH 1ST

SEMINAR AND HOME TOUR FEBRUARY 26TH
You’ve probably seen news of rising steel prices due to higher raw material costs and strong demand. Our long term supply contracts have enabled us to lock-in much lower prices until March 1st, 2011and we have significantly lowered our margins. Now, our current prices are at their lowest level since 2006; even counting discounts. Order now because we have been given notice of a 14% price increase effective on all orders placed after March 1st 2011. There will probably be another 10%-15% increase in early April. Call or go online today for your new lower price. We all want to own the strongest and safest home and this is a great time to build while interest rates, labor and material prices are still low.
Saturday, February 26th we are having a home tour and construction seminar. The home tour starts at 10:30 am at a Savannah model home located in west Little Rock Arkansas. Kodiak steel homes are beautiful and this is a great chance to see a completed home on the inside. The construction seminar begins at noon at our North Little Rock showroom and we will build our display model home from the ground up. You will see all of the major steps involved in constructing a Kodiak home and you are more than welcome to take pictures or video and ask all of your questions. We will also have helpful presentations on topics like energy efficiency, financing, and much more. Seminar seating is limited and we may not have room for everyone who wants to attend so please call now to reserve your seat at 800-278-0888. The cost is $25 per person or $35 per couple and that includes all seminar materials. Also, be sure to visit our website at www.kodiaksteelhomes.com for more information and pricing for our steel home kits.

Hi Forum,

From time to time, the subject of steel homes comes up. There's a lot of ways that the concept is attractive -- fire, ease to maintain, etc. One local AR vendor that seems to have good Better Business ratings and actually offers seminars on the subject is in North Little Rock. At the bottom of this recent email update is a link:
