Michigan’s First and Only ISO 9000 Builder Driven by Technology

Michigan’s first and only ISO 9000 residential builder, Delcor Homes, is selling homes at a fast pace at its two newest communities in Grand Ledge and Grand Blanc as 2005 launched with a bang.

Milford, MI (PRWEB) February 21, 2005 -- Michigan’s first and only ISO 9000 residential builder, Delcor Homes of Milford, MI, is selling homes at a fast pace at its two newest communities in Grand Ledge and Grand Blanc as 2005 launched with a bang.

Delcor Homes has a solid reputation in southeast Michigan for providing high value to discerning buyers. The company maintains quality while controlling costs with its leading technology and because it is the first and only homebuilder in Michigan to become ISO 9000 certified.

ISO 9000 certification is a set of international standards of quality management and assurance that involves documenting operating processes by an independent audit, initially and ongoing.

ISO certification results in higher quality at lower cost since work is done right the first time. After earning ISO 9000 certification, Delcor’s average number of correctable defects at closing dropped from 27.4 in 1997 to 1.7 today.

In addition to ISO certification, Delcor Homes has crossed the leading edge of technology to control costs while maintaining high quality construction and reliable service to its customers. Delcor operates a web site with a private portal to subcontractors and others who do business with them.

Subcontractors check into the web site to find out at what site they will be working, what the materials, tools and manpower requirements will be, and the performance level expected. Progress reports are given using the web site that also records completion of work and dictates payments to subcontractors. The result is high quality work at lower costs because project budgets and timetables are consistently met.

“These savings are then passed on to our customer in the form of more square footage for the dollar invested and more overall value. We don’t just build homes, we build communities,” says Todd Hallett, president of Delcor Homes. “Village Place offers a unique collection of home designs to reflect the living styles of today’s active families. This is the only community of its kind in the Greater Lansing area.” Located at the southwest corner of Nixon and Saginaw Streets, Village Place is in the Grand Ledge School District.

Located in Grand Blanc Schools, Country Cottage Estates has easy access to seven golf courses, Mt. Holly ski area, DTE Music Theater, The Palace of Auburn Hills, and Great Lakes Crossing. The homes are nestled among open fields and soft rolling hills that add up to a refreshing lifestyle.

Other communities built by Delcor Homes are in nearby Howell, Brighton, Milan, Ann Arbor, Metamora, and Oxford.

Michigan’s premier homebuilder, Delcor Homes, is committed to being a customer-driven provider of innovative and quality residential communities that surpass the desires, expectations and dreams of Michigan families.
