Washington, DC (April 10, 2008) – CUSTOM HOME magazine has honored Covenant Homes as a PACESETTER AWARD winner for 2008, according to Leslie Ensor, the magazine’s chief editor.

Covenant Homes was designated as one of the custom building industry’s top achievers in 2008. They will receive the award in front of industry peers on June 3, 2008 at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, Fla. The awards are sponsored by CUSTOM HOME.

The Pacesetter Award winners, who will be featured in CUSTOM HOME’s July/August 2008 issue, are a group of outstanding custom home builders chosen because of their achievements in the custom building business. Through excellent marketing, business management, design, production management, community service or innovation, the fourteen custom builders receiving this year’s awards set the standard for performance in their industry.

Covenant Homes will collect its award in the area of innovation for its KC Health Home initiative. Considered one of the nation’s first-ever “healthy” concept homes, KC Health Home is designed to combat the growing problem of allergies and asthma through reducing indoor air pollutants. KC Health Home is also a green home thanks to its commitment to energy efficiency and the use of environmentally-friendly products in its construction.

Says Ensor, “The Pacesetter winners are among the best in the business, and we’re proud to share their stories with the 40,000 custom home professionals who read the magazine.”

CUSTOM HOME, the number-one business magazine in the custom housing marketing, is published by Hanley Wood, LLC, the premier publisher in the residential construction industry.
