Record Plywood Volume Seen

Despite 1970's slow start, the year will end with a record volume in ply'wood, Richard H. Shattuck, American Plywood Association, told a recent meeting of the San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club. Shattuck was quoting APA figures which predict 1970 will end with a 15 billion plus pro' duction and sales volume of plywood.

Subjects discussed at the meeting were o'What's Going to Happen in the Building Industry Around the Bay Area in 1970" and a slide presentation on "Plywood Building Systems for Low Income and Moderate Income Housing."

Shattuck opined the Bay Area will show a slow first and second quarter with a healthy pick-up in the third and fourth quarters. Major builders are geared up and ready to go once the money is more available. The trend he foresees will be toward multi-family units; in 1960 the ratio was sixty percent single family dwellings to forty percent multi-family units; in 1970 he believes the ratio will be seventy percent multi-family to thirty percent single family units. And the swing is to prefab construction. He noted the new California state law places manufactured housing under state rather than local building codes.
