RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on the following pages as indicated below:
Pages 4 - 5
“Description of Our New Business
Unless otherwise indicated, the following information relates specifically to the business and operations of Bundled Builder.
Bundled Builder was incorporated on August 29, 2008 under the laws of the state of Delaware. Bundled Builder provides construction services through the combination of trade contractors and management integrated into one consolidated organization. On March 31, 2010, Bundle Builder acquired Floor Art, LLC (“Floor Art") and Builder Design Center, LLC (“BDC”) in an asset purchase transaction. These companies have common ownership and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in presenting the consolidated results. Floor Art has been an ongoing company for fifteen years and its primary business is focused on the interior finishes of a building such as installation of flooring and countertops. BDC develops software for use by builders and designers. Both subsidiaries have been in business for over five years.
Bundled Builder offers construction management services for the following three types of projects, which make up our current product line: a) construction of residential houses in Native American communities; b) use of structured insulated panels ("SIPS") for commercial buildings; and c) construction by “bundles” of related trade activities for both residential and commercial projects.
Regarding the first product, Bundled Builder provides construction management services to Native American communities in the Southwestern United States through a contract with a Native American owned company, Tribal Building Solutions, LLC, which began in September, 2009. There is no common ownership between the Company and Tribal Building Solutions, LLC. Currently, we provide construction management services primarily for residential homes within these Native American communities, but we anticipate expanding our services in the near future to include commercial buildings and projects. The Native American product began in August of 2010 with the construction of six homes which are in their final stages of construction and are expected to be completed in January 2011. Operating results from the Native American product did not begin until August of 2010.
Bundled Builder’s second product involves providing construction management services for the construction of “green” light commercial buildings using structured insulated panels ("SIPS"). Light commercial buildings by definition are buildings that have five stories or less. We offer this product throughout the United States only through Bundled Builders’ subsidiary, EZ Build Systems, LLC (“EZ Systems") which was formed in August of 2010. SIPS are high performance building panels used in floors, walls and roofs that are extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. The panels form the shell of the commercial building. As part of our services, we work with the engineer, architect and customer to design the most appropriate building shell based on the customer’s needs. Then, we order the panels from the manufacturer, work with the supplier on receiving the panels, deliver the panels to the construction site and oversee installation of the SIPS by the general contractor. Our focus for this product is on small hotels (five stories or less) and other businesses within the hospitality industry. Currently, our only SIPS customer is the Bossier, LA hotel, a boutique hotel, which is in its final design stage and will begin construction at the beginning of March 2011. The Bossier, LA hotel has not yet begun to generate revenues.
Our third product involves providing construction management services for “bundles” of related trade activities for both residential and commercial buildings. Bundled building means combining several construction trade activities into one group based on interrelated functions and installation sequences. Here, part of our services includes the actual construction of these bundles. For example, Floor Art provides finishes for houses and commercial buildings including flooring, tile, counter tops, and bath surroundings. Currently, Floor Art is our only trade bundle in operation. Floor Art has been an ongoing business for fifteen years.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our revenues totaled $1,697,862 of which $1,691,862 (99.7%) was attributed to Floor Art and $6,000 (0.3%) was attributed to BDC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our revenues totaled $2,662,487, of which $2,263,869 (85.0%) was attributed to Floor Art, $9,000 (0.3%) was attributed to BDC and $389,618 (14.7%) was attributed to BBSI for the Native American housing product. Our SIPS product has not yet begun to generate revenues.”
Page 5
“BBSI can use the SIPS system on housing projects. We feel that combining the SIPS system with BBSI will allow housing projects to be built in more remote areas which serves the Native American market. Many Native American communities are located in remote areas without ready access to contractors. By delivering ready to install manufactured SIPS panels to the construction site, more of the finished home can be delivered to the site, the home can be built faster and in less time, and there is less need for trades to be onsite to construct the building. Since many construction trades would have to be paying for out of town costs to build in these areas, the reduced amount of construction time reduces the overall costs and makes the building costs more feasible.”
Page 7
“Bundled Builder Solutions
Bundled building means combining several construction trade activities into one group based on interrelated functions and installation sequences. For example, a foundation bundle consists of final lot grading, utility connections, concrete slab, and plumbing, since this forms the proper foundation of a house. We do not currently operate foundation bundles; we presently operate only one bundle, Floor Art.”
10. We note your disclosure on page 7 regarding the “Green” light commercial building segment, and your disclosure on page 10 that “Bundled Builder” also provides green, energy building systems." Please revise your disclosure to explain how, and to what extent, your operations are focused on "green energy."
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 6 to include the following language:
“SIPS Panel Systems
BBSI’s management team has several years of experience in commercial construction. Based on our experience, the primary marketing advantage of SIPS is reduced construction time combined with “green” energy efficient materials at comparable costs of conventional building. We believe combining this experience with SIPS sales allows BBSI to become a preferred build out contractor for developers using the SIPS system. SIPS are eco-friendly, recyclable building products that offer high energy efficiency and less waste. All of the commercial buildings that we design under the SIPS system are designed to be certified under Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (“LEED”). LEED is an internationally recognized “green” building certification system that provides a set of standards for the environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and neighborhoods.
BBSI Native American Housing
BBSI has an ongoing agreement with Tribal Building Solutions ("TBS") to manage construction in Native American communities. TBS, which is partially owned by Native Americans, procures construction contracts with tribes. BBSI provides project management services including design, construction, land development and training of local labor. Fees for BBSI are estimated to range from 5% to 10% of construction costs.
Further, BBSI’s construction management services help conserve energy in these Native American homes which are located in inclement winter weather areas. The Native American homes are built with metal roofs and insulated with icynene which is a high-powered renewable-based material made from castor oil which insulates the home, prevents snow buildup and increases the energy efficiency of the house.”
11. Please revise your disclosure to discuss the following:
• | The competitive business conditions and your competitive position in the industry and the methods of competition. See Item 101(h)(4)(iv); |
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 8 to include the following language:
“Competition
The competition in the construction management services industry is very high. We are one of thousands of companies competing in this industry across the United States. The Company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, where competition is also very high. We are in direct competition with other construction management companies as all of BBSI’s projects are obtained through a proposal and bid process. We believe that our success depends in large part upon our ability to bring a broader solution to the construction management process. Our business is different from our competitors because we work with our customers from the beginning stages of designing the project and assisting our customers with obtaining financing through the later stages of engineering the project, developing the construction site and overseeing the building construction. Our new approach to construction management offers a more complete solution to meet our customers’ needs and makes us more than just a construction company. Further, we strive to provide our services in the most cost efficient and energy saving ways.”
• | The sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers. In particular, we note your risk factor on page 8 regarding your purchase of SIPS panels from suppliers. See Item l0l(h)(4)(v) of Regu1ation S-K; |
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 9 to include the following language:
“Raw Materials and Suppliers
The Company obtains all of its raw materials through sub-contractors who contract with various manufacturers, lumberyards, etc. across the United States. Raw materials for our “bundles” and Native American housing products are in ready supply. On the contrary, suppliers of SIPS panels within the U.S. are limited. Our principal suppliers of SIPS panels include: Insulspan, located in Delta, British Columbia and Blissfield, Michigan; Premier Building Systems, located in Phoenix, Arizona and Fife, Washington; and SIPs Team USA based in Bainbridge, Georgia.”
• | Your dependence on one or a few major customers. In particular, we note your risk factor on page 8 stating that your ''Native American Housing revenues come from one customer," your disclosure on page 11 regarding the Bossier, LA hotel, and your disclosure in note 6 to the financial statements indicating that 4 customers accounted for 77% of your revenues. See Item 101(h)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-K; |
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on the following pages as indicated below:
Page 9
“Customers
Floor Art, the Company’s only operating “bundle”, has four major customers. These four customers accounted for 77% of the Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. Currently, we have only one Native American housing customer, Tribal Building Solutions, LLC, and only one SIPS customer, the Bossier, LA hotel. Although we have a limited number of customers, we do not believe that the loss of any one customer would be detrimental to our business because we have expanded our operations to include our three products, the Native American housing, SIPS and “bundles” of trade activities. By expanding our operations, we have expanded our customer base and have thereby mitigated the risk of losing any one of our current customers.”
Page 10
“Because our Native American Housing revenues come from only one customer, the loss of this customer could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability.
The revenues we currently generate from our Native American housing product come from only one customer. This exposes us to risks of substantial losses if we lose this customer or are unable to sufficiently expand our Native American customer base to minimize the impact of this customer. Loss of this customer could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability and there is no guarantee that a replacement customer would be established to help the Company continue its Native American housing product.”
• | The need for government approval of principal products or services, including the status of such approval for any government approval that is necessary but that you have not yet received. See Item 101(h)(4)(viii) of Regulation S-K; |
• | The effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on your business. See Item 101 (h)(4)(ix) of Regulation S-K; and |
• | The costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local). See Item 101(h)(4)(xi) of Regulation S-K. |
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 9 to include the following language:
“Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to various federal, state, and local laws regulating the construction industry and compliance with environmental standards. Specifically, the Company is subject to Title 32 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (“ARS”), Chapter 10, the Professions and Occupations Code, and Title 49 of the ARS pertaining to environmental safety and protection. Further, the Company is subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general. The Company’s services and products are currently not subject to government approval. The costs of compliance with these laws are built in with the construction costs. Although significant capital expenditures may be required in the future to comply with such laws and regulations, to date, such compliance costs have not had a material adverse effect on the earnings or competitive position of the Company. In addition, the Company’s operations may be vulnerable to risks arising from the numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.”

“Industry and Market Data
The U.S. non-residential construction industry, according to McGraw Hill Construction, is a $200 billion industry. “Total non-residential industry sales in the United States were $208 Billion in 2008 and $144 Billion in 2009. (McGraw Hill Construction Forecasts & Trends Robert Murray Monthly Report January 2010, available at http://southwest.construction.com/features/2010/0101_Forecast2010-1.asp). This includes commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, public buildings, transportation terminals, stores, hotels, offices, educational facilities, religious institutions, amusement facilities and warehouses. Within this industry, EZ-Systems focuses on the “Green” Light Commercial Construction market. A light commercial building by definition is any commercial building that is 5 stories or less. This market (according to NAHB’s National Commercial Builders Council; Appendix A) is a $50 billion a year industry. (Nation’s Building News Online for October 16, 2006; available at http://www.nbnnews.com/NBN/issues/2006-10-16/Commercial/index.html).
BBSI’s construction management services focus on the construction of “green” light commercial buildings using structured insulated panels ("SIPS"). BBSI provides this product throughout the United States only through Bundled Builders’ subsidiary, EZ Build Systems, LLC (“EZ Systems"). The "green" light commercial building segment of the industry in which EZ-Systems operates is growing rapidly. It is estimated that by 2015, Green buildings will make up about half of the non-residential building stock, up from about 15% (according to Good Energies Inc. article by Sari Krieger cited in Venture Capital Dispatch, January 6, 2010; available at http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2010/01/06/half-of-non-residential-buildings-will-be-green-by-2015-study/).
According to a May 28, 2009 news release by Structural Insulated Panel Association (“SIPA”), the SIPS industry has only captured a small percentage of the overall market (1% of total construction market) including residential and only 1500 commercial buildings were built in 2008 using SIPS. Further, commercial SIPS account for 32% of all SIPS construction. (SIPA news release available at http://www.sips.org/content/news/index.cfm?PageId=281).
Information at the Native American Procurement conference held in August of 2010, states that the Navajo Nation has $215M development plan over the next five years. The Jicarilla Apache Nation has a five year development plan totaling $130M. More information about the August 2010 Native American Procurement Conference is available at http://www.ncaied.org/event-napc.php.)

15. Please revise the introductory paragraph to remove the fourth and fifth sentences, as you may not qualify your risk factor disclosure in this manner.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing as requested.
16. We note that the following risk factor subheadings merely state facts about your business rather than describing the risk that is being discussed:
• We may be subject to product liability and warranty claims; and
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 10 to include the following language:
“We may become subject to product liability or warranty claims against us due to potential defects in our products which could harm our business and operating results.
We may become liable for any damage caused by our products, whether used in the manner intended or not. Any such claim of liability, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming and/or result in costly litigation. Although we maintain general and product liability insurance and provide warranty reserves, our insurance may not cover potential claims and may not be adequate to indemnify for liabilities that may be imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage would adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.”

Further, please revise the relocated disclosure to disclose your dependence on any customers for your SIPS business. Further, please revise the relocated disclosure to explain why you believe that your business would not be adversely affected if you lost the only customer for your Native American Housing business and the customer(s) for your SIPS business, even if such customers make deposits in advance.
RESPONSE: We have relocated our disclosure regarding the loss of our Native American housing customers from the risk factors to the business section on page 9 and to the management’s discussion and analysis section on page 12 and have revised the disclosure to include the following language:

See Item 303 of Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on pages 12 – 14 to include the following language:
“Operating Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009.
The operating results are compared for operations of Bundled Builder since prior to the Share Exchange Agreement, Dynamic was a development stage company with no operations. Dynamic had expenses of $2,018 and $25,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
After the Share Exchange Agreement, Bundled Builder became the primary operating company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 Bundled Builder had sales of $1,697,852: Floor Art $1,691,852, BDC $6,000, gross margin of $398,371 (23%): Floor Art $392,371, BDC $6,000, expenses of $337,977: Floor Art $328,629, BDC $9,348 and net income of $60,394.
Results for the comparable six months ended June 30, 2009, were sales of $1,368,963: Floor Art $1,336,174, BDC $32,789, gross margin of $339,501 (25%): Floor Art $306,712, BDC $32,789, expenses of $681,788: Floor Art $616,501, BDC $65,272 and a net loss of $342,277.
For the first six months, sales increased in Floor Art in 2010 over 2009, due to a push by homebuilders at the end of 2009 to take advantage of the Federal tax credit. This year end push overflowed into the first half of 2010. Sales decreased for BDC in the same period due to a reduction in the number of homebuilders using the BDC software. Margins for Floor Art remained constant over the two periods, however, expenses for Floor Art and BDC were reduced considerably in 2010, reversing the 2009 loss and making a profit of $60,394 for the period. Expense reductions were the result of reduced payroll and reduced occupancy costs as Bundled Builder relocated to more efficient office space.”
Operating Results for Year December 31, 2009 versus December 31, 2008.
The operating results are compared for operations of Bundled Builder since prior to the Share Exchange Agreement, Dynamic was a development stage company with no operations. Dynamic had expenses of $33,347 and $nil for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
After the Share Exchange Agreement, Bundled Builder became the primary operating company.
For the year ended December 31, 2009 Bundled Builder had sales of $3,570,550: Floor Art $3,496,636, BDC $73,914; gross margin of $862,509 (24%): Floor Art $788,595, BDC $73,914; expenses of $1,188,821: Floor Art $1,173,702, BDC $15,119; and a net loss of $326,312. Floor Art had a loss of $385,107 and BDC had a net income of $58,795.
Results for the comparable year ended December 31, 2008, were sales of $5,977,108: Floor Art $5,826,845, BDC $150,263; gross margin of $1,715,110 (29%): Floor Art $1,682,481, BDC $32,629; expenses of $2,180,817: Floor Art $1,779,526, BDC $401,291; and a net loss of $465,707: Floor Art $97,045, BDC $368,662.
Both Floor Art and BDC are focused in the homebuilding market and these results and changes from 2009 to 2010 in sales and gross profits are due to the decline in the homebuilding market for this time period.
Sales decreased in 2009 over 2008 due to the significant decline in the new homebuilding market. Margins declined in 2009 versus 2008 due to pricing pressures that evolve during a declining market. BDC had a cost of revenues for software development in 2008 of $117,634 which resulted in a gross margin of $32,649. There was no software development in 2009 which is why BDC gross margin is equal to sales. Expenses were reduced $991,996 in 2009 from 2008. Reductions were the result of reduced payroll due to reduced sales activity. Also, BDC had a reduction in interest expense from 2008 to 2009 of $189,272 due to debt reduction at the end of 2008.
Cash increased in 2009 by $60,881 as a result of cash used by operating activities of $30,943, cash used in investing activities of $3,176, and cash provided by financing activities of $95,000. The 2009 net loss of $326,312 was offset by non-cash items included in the loss of $130,267 and reductions in accounts receivable and contracts in process due to the decline in business volume discussed above.
Cash decreased in 2008 by $306,360 as a result of cash used by operating activities of $400,590, cash used in investing activities of $110,070,primarily for the acquisition of a flooring company, and cash provided by financing activities of $204,300, due to the forgiveness of debt by a related party. The 2008 net loss of $465,707 was reduced by non-cash items included in the loss of $212,322. Cash used to fund the loss was $253,385. Additional cash used by operations was for the increase in accounts receivable of $142,000 due to slower payment cycles from homebuilder clients due to the slowing homebuilding market discussed above.”

There is no assurance we will achieve profitable operations. We have historically financed our operations primarily by cash flows generated through operations and cash infusions from officers and outside investors in exchange for debt and/or common stock.
At this time we do not have any commitments from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising any capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise these funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Paul has over 30 years of leadership experience in the new home construction industry and a demonstrated record of success as an entrepreneur. He was founder and President/CEO of Execution, Inc. a company focused on effective jobsite organization and communication. The company makes a difference through the practical application of quality assurance principles. Prior to starting his own firm, Kalkbrenner was a partner in Integrated Stucco, LLC. He grew the company to over $52 million in sales within the first six months of opening the doors. As personnel increased from 24 to over 700 craftsmen, an offer to purchase the company was accepted and Paul took the position of Executive Vice President/ General Manager for the subsequent 12 month transition period. Before forming Integrated Stucco, Paul served as the Vice President of Construction for Shea Homes Arizona, one of the largest builders in Phoenix. He joined Shea in 1992 as a superintendent and moved into the position of Trade and Training Advisor in 1994. He was promoted to Vice President of Construction in 1999. Under his leadership through 2004, Shea built over 7,800 homes producing revenues close to $2 billion. The capstone of his career at Shea was his role in helping execute the smooth integration process when Shea acquired UDC Homes in the late 1990’s. Mr. Kalkbrenner’s prior leadership roles, proven sales records and years of experience in the construction industry led the Company to appoint Mr. Kalkbrenner as CEO and Director.
David C. Brown, COO, Director
Mr. David C. Brown is COO and Founder of Dave Brown Development. He has over twenty years of experience in the housing industry. He launched and ran several entrepreneurial ventures. Coming from the family of a well respected Phoenix production builder, Dave grew up actively involved in the business.

In 2007, Floor Art received a silver National Homebuilders Association quality award for excellence, one of only two silvers awarded that year. Floor Art is the smallest firm to ever receive this recognition. In its third year of operation, Floor Art doubled revenues through an acquisition strategy. Subsequent acquisitions have given Floor Art an estimated 10%-15% increase in revenues, and introduction into the commercial market, and another anticipated increase of 50% in future revenues. Other entrepreneurial ventures for Dave include a software development company providing solutions to production homebuilders and the construction industry. His newest venture is the formation of a publishing company that creates magazines and online resources focusing on the builder design center business. The Company determined that Mr. Brown should serve as COO and Director because of his personal involvement with Floor Art since 1994 coupled with his extensive knowledge of the construction industry.
Al Cain, Director

“In 2007, Floor Art received a silver National Homebuilders Association quality award for excellence, one of only two silvers awarded that year. Floor Art is the smallest firm to ever receive this recognition. In its third year of operation, Floor Art doubled revenues through an acquisition strategy. Subsequent acquisitions have given Floor Art an estimated 10%-15% increase in revenues, and introduction into the commercial market, and another anticipated increase of 50% in future revenues. This anticipated increase of 50% is based on anticipated future projects including a Native American 60-unit apartment complex and a build-out of a 67-unit single-family project at Estrella Mountain Park Ranch. It is expected that Floor Art will provide the interior installs for the Native American project at $5,000 per unit and will provide the interior installs for the Estrella project at $15,000 per unit for a total of $1,305,000. Floor Art’s acquisitions, increase in revenues and introduction into the commercial market have allowed the business to move forward, despite tight economic conditions, and to build upon its reputation for quality and innovative management.”

RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 18 to include the following language:
“Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. According to the NASDAQ definition, Paul Kalkbrenner and David C. Brown are not independent directors because they are executive officers of the Company. Al Cain, however, is an independent director of the Company.”

ITEM 5.01 CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
On August 2, 2010, Dynamic Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) and its controlling shareholders entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Bundled Builder Solutions Inc. (“Bundled Builder” or “BBSI”) and its shareholders whereby the Company obtained all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bundled Builder, in exchange for the issuance of 4,500,000 common shares of the Company to Bundled Builder shareholders. The transaction results in Bundled Builder becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Bundled Builder shareholders holding approximately 45% of the Company's outstanding capital stock.
The shares of the Company's capital stock issued to the Bundled Builder shareholders in connection with the share exchange were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These securities may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Certificates representing these shares contain a legend stating the same.
The share exchange is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," even though the Bundled Builder shareholders do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock immediately following the transaction. However, the Board of Directors and management, after the exchange, are comprised of Bundled Builder’s management team. Furthermore, the operations of Bundled Builder are the continuing operations of the Company, therefore, Bundled Builder is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse acquisition.”

Page 13 under Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009
“Revenues and Cost of Revenues
We earned gross revenues of $964,625 during the three months ending on September 30, 2010: Floor Art $572,007, BBSI $389,618, and BDC $3,000. We earned gross revenues of $908,408 for the same period in 2009: Floor Art $888,533 and BDC $19,875. Revenues for Floor Art and BDC are lower in 2010 due to the slow down in homebuilding activity from 2009. Revenues for BBSI don’t begin until August, 2010 when BBSI started its first Native American housing project. The addition of BBSI revenues results in the increase of total sales between the quarters.
Our total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $865,346: Floor Art $497,361, BBSI $367,985, and BDC $0. Total cost of revenue was $679,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2009: Floor Art $679,655, BBSI $0, and BDC $0. Costs of revenues include costs for job related labor, material, subcontractor costs for engineering, architects, trade contractors, and job site general conditions. Gross margin for Floor Art decreased from 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 13% for the same period in 2010 due to pricing pressures incurred while competing for market share in the decreasing homebuilding market.
Expenses
Our total operating expenses decreased from $277,182 to $181,229 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease in expenses is due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related payroll taxes, employer’s portion of employee health insurance costs, legal and accounting fees, bank charges, travel, meals and entertainment, office rent and maintenance, communication expenses (internet, fax, and telephone), courier, postage costs, office supplies. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $77,144 from $258,373 to $181,229 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, due to reduced payroll costs caused by staff reductions due to sales decreases and reduced occupancy costs due to reduced rent as a result of relocating the corporate office.
Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $18,809 from $18,809 to $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 since the Company had no depreciable assets during the three months ended September 30, 2010.”
Page 14 under Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009
“Revenues and Cost of Revenues
We earned gross revenues of $2,662,487 during the nine months ending on September 30, 2010: Floor Art $2,263,859, BBSI $389,618, and BDC $9,000. We earned gross revenues of $2,277,371 for the same period in 2009: Floor Art $2,224,707 and BDC $52,664. Revenues for Floor Art remained fairly constant due to an increase in sales in first quarter 2010 due to the short term upswing in housing starts from the Federal tax rebates. BDC sales are lower in 2010 due to the slow down in homebuilding activity from 2009. BDC did not share in the temporary upswing in first quarter revenues in 2010 since BDC revenues occur earlier in the construction process than Floor Art revenues and were thus included in 2009. Revenues for BBSI don’t begin until August, 2010 when BBSI started its first Native American housing project. The addition of BBSI revenues results in the increase of total sales between the periods.
Our total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,164,837: Floor Art $1,796,852, BBSI $367,985, and BDC $0. Total cost of revenue was $1,709,117 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009: Floor Art $1,709,117, BBSI $0, and BDC $0. Costs of revenues include costs for job related labor, material, subcontractor costs for engineering, architects, trade contractors, and job site general conditions. Gross margin for Floor Art decreased from 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 19% for the same period in 2010 due to pricing pressures incurred while competing for market share in the decreasing homebuilding market.
Expenses
Our total operating expenses decreased from $991,921 to $519,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. . This decrease in expenses is due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related payroll taxes, employer’s portion of employee health insurance costs, legal and accounting fees, bank charges, travel, meals and entertainment, office rent and maintenance, communication expenses (internet, fax, and telephone), courier, postage costs, office supplies. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $428,768 from $935,494 to $506,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, due to reduced payroll costs caused by staff reductions due to sales decreases and reduced occupancy costs due to reduced rent as a result of relocating the corporate office.
Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $43,209 from $56,427 to $13,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.”
Income (Loss) per Common Share, page F-5
52. Please show us how you arrived at your weighted average common shares outstanding for each period presented. You state that 22,500,000 (adjusted for the 5:1 stock split) shares of common stock issued for the August 2, 2010 stock exchange are considered outstanding for the entire three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2010. It appears that you have also reflected the 27,500,000 (adjusted for the 5:1 stock split) that were retained by the original shareholders as outstanding for all of the entire periods presented as well. Given that the 27,500,000 shares were effectively issued on August 2, 2010, the date of the stock exchange, you should only consider these shares outstanding beginning on August 2, 2010 for purposes of calculating the historical weighted average shares outstanding. Please advise or provide us with your revised weighted average shares outstanding calculations and net income (loss) per common share amounts for each period presented.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 9 to include the following language:
“Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The 22,500,000 (adjusted for the 5:1 stock split) shares issued for the August 2, 2010 stock exchange described in paragraph 1 are considered outstanding for the entire 3 month and 9 month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009. Dynamic Ventures Corp shares issued prior to the stock exchange agreement totaling 27,500,000 (adjusted for the 5:1 stock split) are considered outstanding from August 2, 2010, the effective date of the stock exchange agreement. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period ended September 30, 2010.”
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 11
53. In future filings, please expand this section to discuss known material trends and uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on your revenues or income or result in your liquidity decreasing or increasing in any material way. For example, we note the following from your press releases issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that suggest that you believe future performance may differ significantly from past performance:
· | The expectation that EZ Build Systems will generate $22.5 million and $41 million in revenue in 2011 and 2012 (Press Release dated August 25, 2010); and |
· | Your entry into a long term agreement with One Tree Development, Inc. that provides an "annual sales opportunity for E-Z Build Systems [of] over $50 million ... " (Press Release dated September 14, 2010). |
See Item 303 of Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 13 of the Liquidity and Capital Resources section to include the following language:
“We believe that a major industry trend is the construction of energy efficient buildings. All of the commercial buildings that we design under the SIPS system are designed to be certified under the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (“LEED”) system. LEED is an internationally recognized “green” building certification system that provides a set of standards for the environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and neighborhoods. We believe that the LEED certification of our SIPS product gives us a significant market advantage. In our experience, financial lenders also prefer LEED certified projects, which increases the chances that we will receive funding for our projects.
In regard to our Native American housing product, we believe that we have a niche in this market because there is a great need for this type of housing in Arizona and New Mexico, where we are based, as well as throughout the United States. We have seen that Native Americans are gaining a stronger financial footing and are more able to invest in housing. We believe that the homebuilding market will remain low but that it has reached a bottoming out level. Significant numbers of foreclosures are occurring nationwide and we anticipate that there will be a demand for our “bundles” product for rehabilitation of these REO properties.
Overall, we believe that our revenues will increase in 2011 and 2012 for the reasons stated above as well as other projects and business opportunities we are currently in the process of discussing and negotiating. However, as there have been no definitive agreements reached other than those previously disclosed, the terms and conditions of any contemplated projects or business opportunities remain confidential information.”
Results of Operations, page 13
54. Please revise your MD&A to discuss the business reasons for changes in your results of operations from period to period. You should disclose each of the factors which have contributed to material fluctuations in a line item and correspondingly quantify the impact of each factor when multiple factors contribute to material fluctuations. Refer to Items 303(a)(3)(i) and (iii) of Regulation S-K and Financial Reporting Codification 501.04. Please show us in your supplemental response what the revisions will look like.
RESPONSE: We have revised our Results of Operations on pages 13-15 to include the requested information.
55. Your depreciation and amortization expense decreased $18,809 from $18,809 to $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Please disclose why you did not have any depreciation expense recorded, including if it is because all of your property and equipment became fully depreciated. Please show us in your supplemental response what the revisions will look like.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 13 to include the following language:
“Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $18,809 from $18,809 to $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The Company did not acquire any depreciable assets in the acquisition of Floor Art and BDC. The Company had no depreciable assets during the three months ended September 30, 2010.”
Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 15
56. We note your disclosure that your chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures were "designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in [your] periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified," and that such officers also concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures "were effective as of the end of the period covered by [your] report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives." This description appears to be based on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and l5(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. As described, however, this description does not fully conform to the two-part definition set forth in those rules. In particular it speaks only to the portions of the definition and modifies the definition slightly. For example, the description references "material information" as opposed to simply "information," as specified in the definition. Please confirm, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the stated objectives and that the conclusion regarding effectiveness is based on the full definition of disclosure controls and procedures set forth in the applicable rules. Please also comply with this comment in future filings. Alternatively, you may simply state in future filings, without repeating the definition, that your certifying officers concluded on the applicable date that your disclosure controls and procedures were or were not effective.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 15 to include the following language:
“Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of September 30, 2010, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.”
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 15
57. We note the statement in the third sentence that "Other than these changes, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting." Please revise in future filing to state clearly, if correct, that there were changes in your internal control over financial reporting that occurred during this quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Filing on page 16 to include the following language:
“Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
This change in the Company’s internal controls has not materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.”
Certifications
58. We note that you have changed certain language in the certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and l5d-14(a). For example, you have replaced the phrase "The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are," in paragraph 4 with "I am," and deleted the phrase "(the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report)" that is part of paragraph 4(d). In future filings, please file your certifications exactly as set forth in Item 601(b)(31)(i) of Regulation S-K.
RESPONSE: We have revised the Certifications as requested.

| • | The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Filing; |
| • | Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Filing; and, |
| • | The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
A copy of this letter and any related documents have also been filed via the EDGAR system. Thank you for your courtesies.
