Greenwood, DE - With all the negative news surrounding the housing market these days, it is refreshing to hear about a company that is not only surviving, but thriving in a tough economy. One particular success story is taking place right here on Delmarva. On Tuesday, February 2nd, Beracah Homes celebrated a milestone as the 1000th home was completed in their factory in Greenwood, Delaware.

Family owned and operated, Beracah Homes was founded in 2003. After taking over a vacated production facility, Beracah put local Delmarva residents to work building homes of all sizes using a process that Wayne Collison, C.E.O. of Beracah Homes calls "off-site, stick built". "All of our homes are built from the ground up, i.e. stick built... they're just built in a controlled environment. This means no weather delays, and you don't have to worry about the wood in your home becoming warped by the elements during construction". Beracah homes are the only modular homes built locally, on the Delmarva Peninsula. "We welcome people to tour our facility. Everyone we take through the plant is impressed with the quality of construction."

"We pride ourselves on providing high quality homes, while selling at a great value" said V.P. Roger Collison. "We believe we are the best bang for the buck in the new home market. These tough times have only accentuated that fact. We buy the highest quality building materials in bulk, and we've streamlined our building process through continuous improvement initiatives to maximize efficiency, both of which help keep our costs down and lets us pass savings on to our customers". But that doesn't mean customers miss out on quality. "Our motto has always been to never cut corners". Customers can expect an energy efficient home as well. Beracah's production facility was "Energy Star Certified" by the Energy Services Group in Wilmington, DE back in 2008. "Building a certifiably energy efficient home has been the biggest change in the new home market over the last several years and we believe this is where we shine."

Beracah sells their homes through a network of preferred builders that has grown to 13 sales centers across Delmarva. "We have 65 customizable floor plans, and some customers build straight from the plan. But when we say customizable, we mean it. Some builders give you a few options to choose from, but when you build with a Beracah preferred builder, if you can dream it, we can build it" said Roger Collison. "We've built 1200 square foot starter homes, 7300 square foot mansions, and everything in between".

The 1000th home will be delivered, set, and finished in Georgetown, DE. Bryan Elliott, owner of Integrity Builders in Milford, is taking delivery of this benchmark home. "We're extremely pleased to have partnered with Beracah the last several years and proud to be able to build the 1000th home," said Elliott. Sal and Ruth Aquaviva bought a lot two years ago next to one purchased by Sal's brother, Gus and his wife Lucille. Both intend on building a Beracah Home and moving to Delmarva upon retirement.

"Today, there are 1000 different families and business owners out there that have discovered a better way to build a new home or business, and that's by building with Beracah" said Wayne Collison. "1000 homes is quite an accomplishment, but we're planning on building thousands more."
