Bill & Ron

Precision Building Systems, a panelized wall building company was established in 1995. This company produces computer designed wall panels. These wall panels are used by Eastwood Custom Homes in all of their residential and commercial projects where practical. The product is also marketed to lumber yards for use by other developers.

Eastwood's focus over the coming years will be to continue as Northern Michigan's premier single family homebuilder. In addition we will work with businesses to construct their offices, shops and warehouses. The production capacity available in the Precision Building Systems panel plant will allow sales of wall panels for use by other builders and developers for their commercial and residential projects in Michigan, the Midwest and Internationally.
