(OTC Bulletin Board: HRAI.OB - News), a managed service provider that utilizes its patent-pending software and support system to manage custom home projects for affiliated builders, today announced that it has expanded its proprietary custom home management software to include a version designed specifically for managing projects as part of a disaster relief effort. The software addresses issues facing homeowners, local building and governmental authorities and insurance carriers working in disaster related environments. ADVERTISEMENT
Gregory Wessling, HouseRaising's Chairman and CEO stated: "I am pleased to announce that HouseRaising has just completed version one of its Disaster Relief Operating Platform. The software is designed to be used in managing rebuilding efforts from the point of accumulating project data and cost estimating to designing replacement homes, clean-up, addressing and coordinating funding issues and managing the building process to completion and occupancy. I am very encouraged with the reception we have received so far from insurance company officials, local officials and from Gulfport's Homebuilders Association. We are ready to begin demonstrating our software and support services to local insurance companies and to any federal, state or local governmental agency that needs our assistance in organizing rebuilding efforts."
Today, HouseRaising also announced the hiring of R. Andrew Garverick as its Gulf Coast Development Executive implementing Zone II operations. Mr. Wessling stated: "We are pleased to have located someone with Andy's experience and management skills to assist us in our Gulf Coast operation. Having decades of experience in banking and managing regional homebuilding operations, Andy will help us expedite our plans to present our system to local officials and start rebuilding homes destroyed in recent storms in the area."
Andy Garverick reported the establishment of HouseRaising's first office in Gulfport, Mississippi, located at 14116 Customs Blvd. Suite 112, Gulfport Ms. 39503. The local phone number is 228-822-4726, and the fax number is 228- 822-4760. Mr. Garverick may also be contacted by email at Andy.Garverick*HouseRaising.com.
Andy Garverick commented on his initial efforts: "The decision to accept this assignment was exciting, especially after understanding the special-use software HouseRaising has developed for managing projects as part of a disaster relief effort. No other management software like this exists and I am convinced it will serve HouseRaising, Gulf Coast homeowners, builders and insurance companies well. This home project management system can not only help these families rebuild, our proprietary service can assist government officials and insurance companies in organizing the back-office monitoring of thousands of homes simultaneously. I am excited about HouseRaising's potential in this arena."
