It's All About You

By Jeff Felbab-Caveman Productions, Inc.
David & Goliath Builders has been a step above others in the industry for nearly 18 years. Their success can be attributed in part, to a simple, but often overlooked, premise of quality being more important than quantity. David & Goliath Builders chooses to build a limited number of homes each year to ensure the highest level of quality is maintained on each project. Quality craftsmanship is not just a catchy phrase at David & Goliath Builders. Instead, it is the mission in everything they do. The result of their efforts is a very well built home, with your complete satisfaction throughout construction. With this mission, it is easy to see how David & Goliath Builders are "all about you." To help ensure quality craftsmanship, the same crews of masonry, framing and finish carpentry and landscaping crews are employed on every home built. Since these craftsmen are employees of David & Goliath Builders, they are very dedicated and take pride in their work. This dedication and pride is easy to recognize when looking at the beautiful homes David & Goliath Builders builds or remodels.
A great way to begin the building process is to work with David & Goliath Builders award wining design staff. The latest three-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) system is used to design the house you always dreamed of. Having these award-winning designers on staff allows you the ability to make detailed changes to any floor plan. You can custom design a home at the same price as a model home price. This flexibility to customize plans is another great example of how David & Goliath Builders are "all about you." In addition, they are able to design and build a home with virtually any budget or price range. They will sit down and do an assessment with you of what your needs are, and work within your budget or price range. Once they have this information, they do an analysis of what type of home you are looking for. Or, if a new home is not in your future, David & Goliath Builders remodeling division, DG Remodeling, can update, customize or remodel your current home. Either way, they'll provide a solution to your needs that far exceeds your expectations Once a plan is picked, either one of theirs or your own, David & Goliath Builders will help you take the next exciting step..the construction of your new home. When you build with David & Goliath Builders, you will quickly realize the hard work and dedication that goes into each home. David & Goliath Builders has a different perspective than many builders in the market. Having worked in every phase of the trade, they truly are an experienced, "hands on" builder. Many builders have never actually built a home, they have never been out in the field with a hammer. But the people at David & Goliath Builders really do build each home.
Subcontractors contribute immensely to the construction of a home. Most builders subcontract each phase of construction. In some cases, one subcontractor will work for many different builders or use a different subcontractor on the same phase of a different home. This inconsistency can lead to communication errors and other problems during the construction of a home. David & Goliath Builders doesn't follow this common practice. To ensure a better built home, they eliminate any problems which could potentially arise. David & Goliath Builders is able to closely monitor the construction process on each home. This helps to assure everything is on schedule, and that quality is at the highest level possible.
Also on staff at David & Goliath Builders are a team of designers working directly with you. The ability to use three-dimensional computer Aided Design (CAD), detailed changes to floor plan of your dream home can be completed quickly. With the help of these designers, David & Goliath Builders has won numerous awards including "The Grand Award" in the 1999 MBA Parade of Homes.

In the beginning, David Rodrigues, President of David & Goliath Builders, worked as a skilled carpenter through high school and college. His partner, at the time, was a black lab name Goliath. While out in the field, David became aware of some of the biggest weaknesses in the building industry. Craftsmen did not care about their work. On top of that, most builders did not actually build. Instead, many were merely general contractors who hired subcontractors. David wondered how someone could be a builder if they never had hands-on experience. He knew he could become a great builder, because he actually knows how to build a house. He could motivate a team of true craftsmen to work together.
In 1985, David & Goliath Builders, Inc. was formed. Sadly, Goliath is no longer here, but his name lives on. The homes are still built with the founding principles of hard work, quality craftsmanship and good communication with everyone involved in the construction process.
In addition to building and remodeling great homes, David & Goliath Builders are heavily involved in the Metropolitan Builders Association (MBA). Officers are active on many boards and committees focusing on industry quality standards and regulations. David has served as chairperson of the arbitration and ethics committee, vice president to the board of directors, and currently is chair of the membership committee. Ann Rodrigues, vice president of David & Goliath Builders, is active on many committees focused on sales, marketing, public relations, and fundraising. She is also chair of the MBA Sales & Market Council and Parade of Homes.
