San Francisco - April 19, 2005 - Building Materials Holding Corp., the pro dealer and construction services provider based here, has acquired a majority interest in Riggs Plumbing, LLC through its subsidiary, BMC Construction.

Riggs provides turnkey rough and finish plumbing installation to high-volume residential builders in the Phoenix and Tucson markets. Riggs will operate as a division of BMC Construction's services business in Arizona, joining the company's KBI Construction division, which provides turnkey framing and trim carpentry services.

While terms of the deal were not disclosed, the contract BMC Construction inked gives it the right to acquire the remaining shares of Riggs. BMC Construction is paying for its majority interest acquisition with cash and assumption of debt.

This transaction represents another step toward realizing our vision of creating an integrated, multi-trade residential construction company, serving high-volume residential builders," Robert Mellor, BMHC's chairman, president and CEO said in a statement. "Phoenix and Tucson are very attractive builder markets and offer the right areas to take this step of expanding our construction services."

Mellor also noted that Riggs' previous owner, Gerry Riggs, along with the plumbing service provider's management team, will continue to work with BMC Construction and BMHC.
