Expedition Log Homes received two awards in the 2012 Jerry Rouleau Awards for Excellence in Marketing and Home Design competition, presented by the Log Homes Council and the Building Systems Councils of the National Association of Home Builders
WASHINGTON, DC – Southeast Wisconsin based log home manufacturer, Expedition Log Homes, LLC received two national home building awards in the 2012 Jerry Rouleau Awards for Excellence in Marketing and Home Design, awarded by the Log Homes Council (LHC) and Building Systems Council (BSC).
The first of these two awards presented to Expedition Log Homes was for the Excellence in Marketing Award for their website http://www.expeditionloghomes.com. “It’s quite an honor to be recognized with this prestigious award by your industry peers”, said Jan Koepsell, Expedition Co-Owner. The second Excellence in Design award was an Honorable Mention for log homes under 2000 square feet. “I am very proud of our in-house design team and their accomplishments. They consistently inspire our clients with award winning designs.”
For more than a decade, the awards program has promoted excellence in the systems-built housing industry. This year, the awards were renamed to honor Jerry Rouleau, a marketing authority and longtime advocate of the log home and systems-built industry, who lost his battle with cancer in 2011. The awards recognize excellence in achievement in a range of marketing and design categories.
“Each year, the BSC & LHC honor industry leaders through its marketing and home design awards program. Receiving one of these prestigious awards not only elevates the winning company’s stature, but also enables them to receive national attention for their achievements,” said 2011 BSC Chairman Harry Junk, a leading figure in the concrete building materials industry.
The annual Jerry Rouleau Awards for Excellence are judged by an independent panel of industry experts, and companies like Expedition Log Homes were praised for the quality of their submittals.

ABOUT THE BSC: The Building Systems Councils of the National Association of Home Builders is made up of manufacturing, builder, and associate members who advocate building with systems. Systems-built homes are constructed with concrete, log, modular, or panelized systems. They are constructed to the same code standards and reflect the same, and often enhanced, quality levels as any site-built construction. The advantage of systems-building is it’s done in a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the waste, reducing costly weather exposure. Many systems-built homes are inherently “green,” adding an environmentally friendly label to the product.
