Piedmont Residential Announces
The Build It Right in 90 Days Promise

With the uncertainty in the real estate market, Piedmont Residential introduces the Build It Right in 90 Days Promise. At first glance you might ask how a quality home can be built so quickly. The answer is simple. Building a home is a process and at the end of the day it comes down to having building schedules and home designs down to a science.

Piedmont Residential adds value inside and out through value engineering. They start with the exterior of the home—a process that provides a “rock proof exterior.” They use Hardie®-Plank cement siding with the color plus finish. This means the paint was heat cured off site and installed already painted. With perfect conditions for painting a home owner is assured their paint will stay looking great for many years. In addition, it is under warranty for 15 years. James Hardie® siding is non-combustible and comes with a limited, transferable warranty up to 50 years. The roof trusses and floor systems are also engineered in perfect conditions. These two crucial components are manufactured, inspected and then installed on-site.

Having the best heating, cooling and ventilating system is also critical, and Piedmont uses the Amana brand. It comes with a 10-year warranty—the best warranty available for new homes. Piedmont’s homes are future proofed—inside the walls they use CAT5 and RG6 residential structured wiring. It’s not just a home anymore. It's a place to get things done-to stay connected with the world. A home is a place for entertaining and to have a full lineup of HDTV video, digital audio and interactive choices at your fingertips.

Piedmont’s homes are built to last their warranty program supports the “better built promise.” Piedmont will do an extensive pre-closing walk through and home orientation. From the day you move in, they provide 24 hour warranty coverage and after 11-months they will perform a warranty walk through with a new home construction specialist. From the day of closing, they provide a structural warranty through 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty®, one of the nation’s leading warranty providers. The most important thing to know about a new home warranty is they are only as good as the builder behind them!

The bottom line to Piedmont’s Build It Right in 90 Days Promise: “we build a superior quality home, better than other builders with better products and materials and we deliver it to you on time,” states JD España, Jr., President of Piedmont Residential.

On April 2, 2010 Piedmont Residential completed the final week of their Lean Blitz program. This several week process enabled the company to review and assess inefficiencies in the company which can potentially cause problems with vendor partners. The home building process is based heavily on scheduling and keeping required inspections on target. Any setbacks in the process cause the rescheduling of vendors and extend the anticipated completion date.

During the last week of Lean Blitz each vendor partner was given fifty minutes of time to review items critical to their success in assisting Piedmont Residential to build homes. During the allotted time the vendor would discuss purchase orders, scheduling, return trips and areas for improvement. Ultimately the goal of Lean Blitz is to save money and create efficiencies necessary to build the highest quality new home possible. Chris Kelly, Chief Operating Officer, states, “As a company striving for operational excellence we recognize the importance of truly partnering with our vendors. This type of alliance allows us to build homes affordably and ultimately pass the savings on to the homebuyer.”
