Local Builders Face Off in Support of Habitat for Humanity; Weeklong Build-Off Broadcast Live by Assist-2-Sell at www.hellophilly.tv

Devon, PA, March 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The 2nd Annual Devon Builders Competition kicked off on March 24 at the Devon Horse Show Grounds in Devon, Pa. Sponsored by St. John’s Presbyterian Church, this weeklong “build-off” pits five teams of home builders against each other as they race to see who can build a house the fastest. All of the houses will be shipped to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Competition begins at 9 a.m. Monday-Friday through March 28, and concludes on March 29 with an awards ceremony. Live and archived broadcasts of the event are available at www.hellophilly.tv.

Each day, a new team constructs a 1,200 square foot house frame based on a common plan. When finished, the houses will be disassembled, packed into a truck and shipped to the Baton Rouge, La., area. The houses will then be reassembled by Habitat for Humanity.

So far, the time to beat is two hours and 36 minutes. That’s how long it took Lexington Home Construction to finish their house on Tuesday. Other teams participating in the event include St. John's Presbyterian Church, Martin Cappelletti Builders, Fairfield Builders/Steve Smith Carpentry and The Weaver Company.

Carl Friedel, owner/broker of the Wayne, Pa., Assist-2-Sell office, is broadcasting the build-off live each morning. Viewers from anywhere in the world can watch the Devon Builders Competition and see the houses being built in real time. Simply visit www.hellophilly.tv and click on “My Live Webcasts.”

“I offered to broadcast this event live because I wanted to spread the word and let people from all over participate in this great cause. Families will be living in these houses this summer, which is really exciting,” said Friedel.

Participants of the Devon Builders Competition are also raising money for their local Habitat for Humanity, and St. John’s Presbyterian Church is accepting donations on behalf of Habitat for Humanity.
