The co-founder, owner, and chief operating officer of Mercedes Homes in Melbourne, Florida, Scott Buescher led the company to be ranked among the top 15 homebuilders in the United States. In addition to his current leadership position at Mercedes Homes, Scott Buescher has worked with the University of Florida and other entities to develop quality homebuilding techniques and hurricane-resistant technology.
In Florida, hurricanes have caused sometimes catastrophic damage over the years, but thanks to ever-improving technologies, new buildings are safer and more resistant to such storms. New hurricane codes, for example, dictate that homes built where wind speeds exceed 120 miles per hour must be outfitted with exterior features such as hurricane shutters, reinforced doors, and impact-resistant windows. Hurricane storm panels made of flexible, clear polycarbonate provide an extra layer of protection between the storm and glass windows, reducing insurance costs while still letting light in. To protect against water intrusion, homebuilders can install a shade system that locks into place inside a window, so that even if a window is shattered, the home is protected from wind, water, and airborne debris.
