Each year, Professional Builder magazine names a Professional Builder of the Year in recognition of that builder’s leadership in the field. The magazine features winners in a detailed article, describing the practices and strategies that make the builder successful. Winners from the past several years include Legacy Communities Real Estate Development, led by Stephen F. Been (2009); Jagoe Homes (2010); and DSLD Homes (2011).
The 2011 Builder of the Year, DSLD Homes, is an example of a new firm launched in the midst of a recession. Based in Louisiana, DSLD delivered more than 700 homes in 2011. The company started building shortly after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina and has grown every year since then. Professional Builder Magazine’s recognition of these and other firms provides an inspiring example of success for the homebuilding industry.
