The Green Company Becomes 1st Builder To Win Three Of The Home Building Industry’s Most Coveted Awards In One Year
Honored with a 2006 NRS Diamond Award, America’s Best Builder Award and the Lee Evans Award for Management Excellence
Newton, MA (March 23, 2007) ? The Green Company has achieved an unprecedented feat, becoming the first builder to win three of the home building industry’s most prestigious awards in one year. Fourth quarter of last year, The Green Company won the 2006 NRS Diamond Award from NRS Corporation and Professional Builder magazine, honoring it as North America’s top homebuilder in customer satisfaction and experience. In first quarter 2007, The Green Company took home two other coveted awards: America’s Best Builder Award, sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and Builder magazine, and the Lee Evans Award for Management Excellence, presented by the Lee Evans Group.
“At The Green Company, we take pride in every community we build and every award we win,” said David Caligaris, company president. “We are thrilled to be recognized not only by our industry colleagues, but also by our homeowners, who helped us earn a first place ranking for customer satisfaction among all builders of all sizes across the country.”
The NRS Awards are the leading industry-sponsored awards recognizing the best builders in North America for customer satisfaction excellence. The Green Company achieved top standing across all categories and particularly excelled in on time closing rate, access to knowledgeable staff members and a satisfying buying experience. This marks the third time within the awards’ four-year history that The Green Company has been recognized as one of the best homebuilders in the country.
The Green Company consolidated its reputation for excellence by being named America’s Best Builder for outstanding performance in five areas of running a home building business: customer service/quality, finance/operations, community/industry service, design/construction and marketing. Previously, The Green Company was similarly recognized in 1992 and 2000.
Created by NAHB in 1990 and named for Lee Evans, a builder in the 1950s who was dedicated to educating builders on business practices, the Lee Evans Award for Management Excellence is given annually to the builder who exemplifies sound management principles and high standards. The award marks the second time The Green Company has been so honored.
