Software solution was explained to me. It is the most efficient and
effective consulting service in the region today and I am delighted to be
representing it to homeowners, homebuilders and public agencies who face
the monumental challenge of evaluating what must be done, the costs of
replacing damaged housing and the task of rebuilding."
"I believe that the HouseRaising Disaster Relief Software and System C
custom home building program will provide the victims of Hurricane Katrina
with a satisfactory new home and, in fact, that they will find the
experience a pleasurable one," he added.
