Homecrete Homes on 2008 Giant 400 List

Stuart, FL, May 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Homecrete Homes on “2008 Giant 400” List.

Stuart-based homebuilder moves up from 372 to 366 in down market.

Homecrete Homes (www.homecretehomes.com), the nation’s largest insulated concrete form (ICF) homebuilder, has once again made the Professional Builder Magazine 2008 Giant 400, its list of America's 400 largest home builders. While most of the builders on the list have seen significant decreases in revenue and closings between 2006 and 2007, Homecrete actually moved up in the rankings from 366 to 372.

“It’s obviously a difficult situation right now for home builders,” said Robert Cenk, vice president of operations for Homecrete. “It’s a buyer’s market so you have to offer a product that sets you apart from the competition,” continued Cenk. “We don’t build our homes with concrete blocks like every other builder in Florida. Every Homecrete home is built with Greenblock Insulated Concrete Forms, which provide our home owners with a house that can withstand the worst of our Florida weather. The ICF walls also provide R-values that are triple that of concrete blocks, which means significantly lower utility bills.”

Homecrete was the recent recipient of the Treasure Coast Builders Association Parade of Homes “Grand Award”. Chosen from dozens of entries from some of the largest builders in the nation, Homecrete won this prestigious award for the third year in a row.

Homecrete has six models to choose from, two of which can be seen at their Model Center located at 225 W. Bayshore Blvd. Port St. Lucie / (772) 873-6707. Homecrete also builds custom homes.
