“We
don’t build the typical low-cost production home in Lake Havasu City, make no mistake
about it. We're a custom home builder and we build with workmanship and pride, and that translates
to a reliable, high quality product”, states Dr. Bill Ullery with firm
conviction. “We build that way to eliminate a lot of problems that
typically crop up as a home ages. Our homes, over 450 since 1990, age gracefully.”
Bill, the founder of DBU, began his career as an electrician He later taught a variety of
building trades including carpentry, plumbing, air conditioning,
building codes,
architectural drafting, etc. Progressing from teacher to positions as a dean
and president, Bill supervised apprenticeship and associate
degree programs in technical and community colleges. He advanced to
state director of vocational education and was the C.E.O. of a state
system of six technical colleges. Typically when building trades
teachers retire, most try to keep active with projects and for some a
new house or two. For Bill, it's been over 450 new houses with no end in
sight.
Bill's brother Harold and former partner retired a few
years ago. John Rosenbaum had the Palo Verde models, is highly
recommended, and has since started his own business.
Most homes are new and have unique designs reflecting the
taste and lifestyle of the homeowners themselves. The latest computer
technology combined with DBU’s vast talent and experience translate to
limitless design possibilities for their clients. The floor plan is
processed and polished until it is completely suited to the needs of the
family. No detail is disregarded. The end result is a home that lives,
works and functions in complete harmony with the family occupying it.
Design and function, although important, are only part of the
equation. Quality is the hidden, often unseen factor. The folks at DBU
maintain hands on quality control as they design and build each new
property. Maintaining a consistent degree of high quality in all aspects
of the home’s construction insures a product that will satisfy the
buyer for the long term and fortify the already impressive reputation of
DBU Homes at the same time.
It has been said that clients and builder must be compatible from
the outset of their relationship, since the stress that sometimes
develops during the course of the construction process can test the
mettle of all involved. DBU staff feels the full weight of this caveat
and work diligently with each client to create, reinforce and to
maintain their customer’s full measure of their abilities.
Working with known quantities in the local construction industry
produces much peace of mind for all concerned. Knowing the quality and
reliability of workmanship provided by sub-contractors is a huge
advantage for the DBU staff. Keeping themselves informed of all aspects
of the process, from initial design to the mechanics of the sale itself,
results in a quality product delivered to satisfied customers in a
timely fashion--the very essence of a good business.
"Surely, our DBU family can be of help to you and your family in
matching a home to your wants and needs.
Our
staff has access to the entire MLS listing service. This means DBU can
do more than just build dream homes. We can help you find the perfect
property or existing home to suit your individual taste. We can handle
all your real estate needs, from buying, selling, and new construction.” This is a rather unique attitude of service. This is the DBU
success story.
