"Most builders excel in just one discipline, be it customer service, great design, construction expertise, or financial acumen," said Denise Dersin, editor in chief of BUILDER magazine, the leading magazine of the home building industry. "But builders who receive this award manage to do it all. That is an amazing achievement."

A panel of industry leaders selected the America's Best Builder honorees this past September during the National Association of Homebuilders Fall Board meeting in Seattle, Washington. Drees Homes showed outstanding performance in five important areas of running a home building business: finance/operations; customer service/quality; community/industry service; design/construction; and marketing.

Drees Homes, based in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, is celebrating their 80th anniversary in 2008. A family-owned company, they have weathered many business cycles with conservative fiscal practices, geographic and product diversification, and experienced management team. President and CEO David Drees is continuing the operation that his grandfather began and his father expanded. While the tradition of quality and integrity has served the company well, David Drees has championed technology in a way that previous generations could not have foreseen.

"Business intelligence has allowed us to fine-tune our operations," explains Drees. "We operate at top efficiency, and have systems that are fully integrated in every aspect of our business. Keeping ahead of the curve in technology has allowed us to do something very personal -- create our customers' unique idea of home in their dream community -- very effectively and efficiently."

"This award honors our family, our dedicated employees, our subcontractors and suppliers, and most importantly, the customers who have chosen Drees as their homebuilder since 1928," said David Drees. "We look forward to continuing our commitment to excellence well into the next 80 years."

Drees Homes, the eleventh largest privately-owned homebuilder in the country, is headquartered in Fort Mitchell, KY. The company has operations in Cincinnati and Cleveland, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Nashville, TN; Raleigh, NC; Jacksonville, FL; Frederick, MD; Washington, DC; Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. Drees will accept the award at The BUILDER Presidential Seminar in April in Aspen, Colorado. To learn more about Drees Homes, visit their website at http://www.dreeshomes.com.
