When I heard that they were extended to Chicago, I jumped at the opportunity to talk to them. Their motto is" dreams construction and improvement of life "and the really serious. Everyone works in the company, to improve the experience of home ownership for our customers."

Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, DWH is a $ 1.6 million operation in 22 cities and 12 states in the United States since 1976, closed more than 80,000 homes and the first manufacturer was obtained in the country of the Three Crown of American Home Building "Best Constructor of America", the national award for quality housing and national farmer of the year.

What the houses themselves DWH Bridges said :. "Today's buyers want a house, energy efficiency, adaptability to new technologies and houses around the way they designed in their life, I think the quality is much more important than the number of new buyers today housing. Buyers want a great shopping experience of the house, and they want a home that is designed your personal needs, rather than designed for a wide range people to achieve something. "

Housing "Energy Saver" DWH are supported by the media program for life - a guarantee of heating and power consumption of the cooling system. Bridges believes in the Chicago area, these homes are 38 percent more than the average house built in 2006 energy efficient.

"To achieve these sales targets, will try to build opportunities for Northbrook in Orland Park and west to Geneva. Chicago is also a construction possible because the zero-lot -line city models some neighborhoods lend themselves well and mature that we have built in other cities, "he said.

"There is no limit to what we can do. We have our own personal architectural remains on the new trends and to respond in a position to what we do in the markets where we are. In Chicago we will build family houses and townhouses not to see the construction of condominiums. " We, Bridges said.
