SCMHI History Government Modular Steering Committee SCMHI Staff Publications and Marketing Membership Services SCMHI History The South Carolina Modular Housing Institute is the non-profit business association representing the interests of the modular home industry in South Carolina. It is affiliated with the National Modular Housing Council in Washington, D.C. Centrally located in downtown Columbia, the capital city of South Carolina, the association provides a wide variety of services including: Legislative and state agency lobbying Local government issues such as placement and fees Promotion of the excellent image of modular homes; public relations Comprehensive, convenient source for all modular laws, regulations and rulings Opportunities to market to and develop relationships with a large number of companies in the modular industry—including association meetings publications, membership lists and e-mail. For more information, please contact Mark Dillard at (803) 771-7823 ext 7 or mdillard@SCModularHome.com. Government Under SC law, SCMHI holds a seat on the state agency board that governs the modular industry in the State, the SC Building Codes Council. SCMHI was at the SC Statehouse every day of the legislative session in 2009. We believe that the only way to successfully monitor and influence state law is to physically be there day-in, day-out. For an up to the minute briefing on pending issues and legislation, members can e-mail mdillard@SCModularHome.com. Members of the association can order a complete collection of modular laws, regulations and fact sheets. Members may download the SCMHI order form by clicking here.
