Endommager electricity in the housing market
Hurricane Katrina completely destroyed more than 350000 housing units left and even more seriously damaged. But others as a contribution of truckloads of money, most of housing services major clients of production are not participating in reconstruction efforts. Are they a golden opportunity or simply practice in an area, whose operation is still in the air?
After Hurricane IVAN jumped to Pensacola, Florida, in September 2004, damaging 60,000 homes in two counties, The Mitchell Co. doubled its turnover in the next 18 months. And after Hurricane Katrina tore and coastal communities in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and end August 2005, Mitchell - with its headquarters in Mobile, Ala., and built houses in Mobile, Pensacola , And Orlando, Fla. - sold out its inventory of 60 houses and 20 housing units, manufactured in a week. The company has been able to reopen its headquarters, two days after Katrina bit, because it has a crisis management plan in force in each office has a clean water and food and is linked with satellite phones.
“Our home is already in business,” said Saint John, Mitchell’s CEO, in an interview with BUILDER end of October. Saint sees “enormous” potential for new home sales to hurricane ravaged markets, including Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss, where his company manages 1600 lots of 600 hectares and where, said Saint, Mitchell’s production activity of building must be a greater devolution course of the next years, “if the insurance of people from their controls .
But he added that if Mitchell has shown the state and federal officials, as it could be manufactured on the floor apartments in 45 days, his response was less urgent. “The government does not like you or me,” said Saint, a penalty, his hostility vis-à-vis the bureaucrats have not yet done a good job. There are always people still sleeping in tents, and it’s not because the churches, private businesses and neighbors, men would have starved to death. ”
This experience Builder’s grasp the complexity and often chaotic dimensions of the Post-Katrina relief and reconstruction in the initial phase, as desolation and demand must be protected against a high degree of uncertainty concerning final confiscation of a region, who told the truth, arrested register most major builders’ radar screens long before the last hurricane hit land. With few exceptions, production of major contractors working in the sector say they have no plans for expansion in the countries concerned, Gulf Coast, where they are, that their fundraising efforts to support enterprises and organizations, which specializes in providing shelter or residential buildings affordable.
