were nominated for two awards
shows that.”
Since completing the award-rec-
ognized Morgan View project,
DVL Homes has been using it
as a display while it remains
on sale. Nick reports receiving
“great feedback” from everyone
they have walked through it.
“’Great color choices’ is some-
thing we have heard a lot,” he
says. “We’ve gotten great feed-
back on the quality, the prod-
ucts we’re using, the landscap-
ing, the flow of the home, the
furnishings we’ve used to bring
out the accents of the home –
the cleanliness of the construc-
tion, even.”
“We have gotten some inter-
est from lottery corporations,
who want us to do a display for
them,” he adds. “The reception
has been amazing.”
Nick credits that reception to
the high quality of both the
design and the craftsmanship
– which is another thing he
personally ensures on every
project. He does walkthroughs
throughout the course of every
build in order to ensure every-
thing is progressing according
to plan and schedule, and to
potentially identify any issues,
usually before they even arise.
He also emphasizes attention
to detail, and if any of the finish-
es fail to meet his standards, he
makes sure they are corrected.
“I go through finishing details
with an intense focus,” he says.
“I make sure the finished prod-
uct is perfect. Nothing is left
half-done or incomplete. When
we hand over a job, it has to
be ready for someone to move
right into. Even if it’s a spec
home, like that one was.”
Nick also praises the subcon-
tractors and tradespeople who
