This first-ever NHQ Certification for a builder headquartered in Florida represents Pringle Development’s commitment to customer satisfaction, as well as our dedication to deliver the highest quality homes to Florida home buyers

Eustis, FL (PRWEB) August 24, 2006

Pringle Development, Inc. has become the first homebuilder headquartered in the state of Florida to achieve the National Association of Home Builder’s National Housing Quality (NHQ) Certification. Only 14 homebuilding companies nationwide hold the highly sought-after distinction.

Designed to increase efficiency and consistency in building practices, the NHQ Certified Builder Program provides a thorough review of a builder's business practices, and ensures that the company follows all elements of a quality plan designed to foster greater customer satisfaction.

To achieve certification, Pringle conducted rigorous field and office training to design and implement their quality plan, work more efficiently with their trade partners, and maintain the continuous improvement efforts required by the program. Throughout the process, Pringle’s management, procedures and processes, quality and safety programs, production standards, warranty and sales operations were subject to the review by staff from the NAHB Research Center. The process culminated in a detailed on-site audit of actual practices as they related to the company’s quality plan.

“This first-ever NHQ Certification for a builder headquartered in Florida represents Pringle Development’s commitment to customer satisfaction, as well as our dedication to deliver the highest quality homes to Florida home buyers,” said Alan Parrow, CEO of Pringle. “While the initial certification recognizes that all elements of a quality home building process are in place, we intend this to merely establish a baseline against which ever continuing improvement may be measured”.

The Pringle family has been delivering high-quality developments throughout Lake County Florida for more than ninety years. The present day Pringle Development Inc., which has focused largely on Active Adult communities, was formed in 1982 and purchased in 2004 by its employees. In recognition of the Pringle family’s rich tradition and the company’s superb reputation, the employees proudly call themselves “The 5th Generation of the Pringle Family”.

In 2005, the company won the prestigious NHQ Silver Award, recognizing its excellence in business practice. But even with its impressive track record, CEO Parrow says that a continued responsibility for improving customer service remains a top priority for the company. “It is particularly thrilling to our employee owners to receive the NHQ certification because it recognizes their commitment to develop superior communities at a new, even higher level of quality” he added.
