Local homebuilder honored with national award

Orchards — Pacific Lifestyle Homes was named a 2018 National Housing Quality Award gold medal winner by Professional Builder Magazine on Oct. 8. The award was developed by the magazine, and looks at a company’s leadership, strategic planning, process management, customer satisfaction, human resources, construction quality, trade partnerships and business results. To earn the award, builders must complete a 250-question application. Finalists then receive a site visit for several days by the judges, who are made up of leaders in the building industry. “This is our industry’s crowning award and the review process is rigorous,” Kevin Wann, president of Pacific Lifestyle Homes, said in a release from the company. “We have really strived for excellence in all phases of our business, from quality to design to building a strong company culture with strong vendor partnerships. This award validates these efforts.”
