ABOUT  US…DBU HOMES  

“A DBU home is not about price – it’s about quality that 
guarantees peace of mind for years to come.”
  “We don’t build the typical 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, nearly 500 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 2-year technical college president, Dr. Bill supervised apprenticeship and associate degree programs. He advanced to state director of vocational education and was the CEO of a state system of six technical colleges.

  Typically when building trades teachers retire, most try to keep active with home improvement projects and for some a new house or two. For Bill, it's been nearly 500 new houses with no end in sight. 

   Bill's brother Harold and former partner retired a few years ago. John Rosenbaum as a realtor, had the Palo Verde DBU models (which were sold) and has since started his own businesses. Nancy Koglin is the realty broker.

   Tom Porter is a member of new-construction sales and operations. Tom and his wife have a PV3 model which is open by appointment. This model can be viewed in the Popular Homes section of this website.

    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, to new construction.” This is a rather unique attitude of service. This is the DBU success story. 

   The two Little Drive models are coordinated by owner Bill Ullery. Assisting are Designated Broker Nancy Koglin, Tom Porter, and occasionally, Nancy Ullery.

    Nancy Koglin also extends a warm welcome to you to visit the two models on Little Drive. Over the years with DBU, Nancy has had an impeccable record with her clients and construction projects without ever a single complaint filed with the ROC or Board of Realtors. Now...that's impressive!
