As a successful businessman, he simply wanted to build a few houses to rent. Even before the homes were completed, people wanted to buy them; thus began Jessco Homes.Jessco stands for Jesus' Company. Anyone who knows Jeff knows that he loves the Lord and has dedicated his life, family and business to Jesus Christ.Shortly after beginning Jessco, Jeff's brother Steve came on board as his partner. Their plan was simple: build homes for others the way they would build their own.When other contractors were building stripped -down houses and making everything an option, the Stahl brothers loaded their houses with standard features and higher quality materials. Buyers noticed dozens of extras like brick fronts, fireplaces, upgraded appliances and jetted tubs. As word got out, Jessco Homes were selling as fast as they could be built with almost no advertising being done.Today, Jessco and its subsidiaries directly employ over 50 people. They also provide hundreds of jobs through the use of sub-contractors. Jeff and Steve recognize God's hand in building this company.

Steve has joined the pastoral staff of Pointe North Community Church in Moncks Corner but is still active in management decisions.KB Home, KB Home (NYSE: KBH) is a homebuilding company based in the United States, founded in 1957 as Kaufman & Broad.

They just didn’t have the resources.The brothers approached their parents for help, telling of their aspirations to start their own company. After listening to their sons, Bruno and Tony’s parents agreed to lend them a significant portion of the family’s life savings to get their new business off the ground.

Make us proud.”The company started with a single house on a single lot. 50 years later, Pasquinelli and Portrait homes is one of the largest privately owned homebuilding companies in the nation.

Ryan left his family's company, Ryan Homes, to build homes in the nation's first master-planned community of Columbia, Md. He and his partner, Bob Gaw, created The James P. Ryan Company and built 48 homes that first year.Nearly three years and 700 homes later, Ryland got its official name when Jim Ryan spotted a banner that read "Maryland," with the "M" and "A" covered. The combination of Ryan and Maryland seemed like a perfect choice for the name of his company.By 1971, Ryland had expanded from Columbia into new suburban communities around Baltimore and Reston, Va., and had enjoyed considerable success in Houston. Sales approached $30 million and the company wanted to raise cash to enter new markets.The first public stock offering was made later that year, raising $4.6 million in equity, and enabling Ryland to enter the Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth and Philadelphia markets.During its first decade, Ryland built more than 10,000 homes and increased its earnings from $46,000 to $4.7 million.Onward and UpwardIn 1978, the company formed Ryland Mortgage Company to help customers finance their new home purchases. By acquiring Crest Communities in Cincinnati, Ryland achieved the dual objectives of expanding into the financial services business and entering the Midwest markets of Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Louisville, Ky. Ryland co-founder Bob Gaw took the helm of the new mortgage company as its president.In 1982, after seeing the company through nearly 15 years of growth, founder Jim Ryan retired as Ryland's chairman and CEO, and was succeeded by Charles E. "Ted" Peck.In 1983, Ryland's stock moved from the American Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol RYL.Throughout the 80s, Ryland continued to grow into new markets in Florida, Arizona, the Carolinas, Colorado, Texas and California.Adding to the Ryland family of services and customer convenience, the company began offering Ryland Escrow®, Ryland Insurance® and Ryland Title® services.In 1993, Ryland's board of directors was faced with the task of choosing a new leader at a time when the homebuilding environment and challenging market conditions called for new corporate operating strategies.New Leader, New VisionThe answer came in the form of R. Chad Dreier, who became Ryland's fifth president and CEO in November of 1993. Dreier revitalized the company, immediately implementing a decentralized strategy based on improving efficiencies, and having the best product, people and land in each market.Ryland Homes refocused on what homebuyers in individual markets wanted most. In recognition of the company's success and Dreier's strong leadership, Ryland's board of directors elected him chairman of the board in December of 1994.The company relocated its headquarters to Calabasas, Calif., in 2000, and continued to expand its geographic presence.Celebrating 40 Years In 2007, Ryland celebrated 40 years of success as one of the nation's leading homebuilders. We're proud of a 40-year history that includes building homes for more than 275,000 families in 28 cities across the country. And we look forward to helping many more achieve their dreams of new home ownership for many years to come."You can tell a lot about a company by looking into its history. Look into ours and you'll find that we've built more than 275,000 homes across the country since 1967. That says quite a bit about the trust so many families have put in us over the years and how hard we've worked to earn it. Our constant aim is to deliver quality, value and an enjoyable customer experience with every home we build."- R. Chad Dreier, Ryland Chairman, President and CEO 2005 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award This award, given by President Bush and the Department of the Defense, recognized Ryland among 15 national employers who offer outstanding support to employees that participate in the National Guard and Reserve.2005 Big Builder APEX Awards - Most Innovative Product Design Ryland Homes received this award for innovative architectural plans and neighborhood design in its Idlewild community in Fredericksburg, Va.Sierra Club: America's Best New Development Projects Highlighted Ryland's Regency community in Hopkins, Minn., as an outstanding example of smart growth.

Burbank left the John Crosland Company after its acquisition by Centex and was in search of a unique land position to launch the company's first homes. Burbank and construction vice president Dwight Marshall introduced a series of three- and four-bedroom homes with traditional trim and cornice details. This came at a time when most other builders were pursuing the trends of "transitional and contemporary" designs with elaborate gables. Burbank and his team focused on traditional home styles that blended well with the Selwyn Farms setting, were architecturally distinctive, yet could be delivered at relatively affordable prices.Burbank merged with Saussy Construction, a respected custom building and renovation firm, in 1991 as it began construction of its first suburban community in south Charlotte, Beverly Crest. Principal Downie Saussy expanded the firm's expertise in working with the Realtor community and sales and construction programs tailored to "move up" market segments. At Beverly Crest, Saussy Burbank worked closely with land developer Standard Properties to blend a variety of price points and architectural styles into a setting that was formerly a farm and popular hunting site. Beverly Crest incorporated distinctive landscape and building architecture with sidewalks on both sides of the street to knit the community together. It was in Beverly Crest that Saussy Burbank introduced its popular Arts and Crafts-inspired Dilworth Collection homes, years ahead of most of its competitors in the building community.Another notable Saussy Burbank community was Ballantyne Meadows in south Charlotte, a thriving community off Ballantyne Commons Road, in the heart of Ballantyne. Dilworth Bungalows, a smaller version of the Dilworth Collection, were introduced there. Twenty-two homes were sold in 21 days, with a waiting list of 60 names for the remaining 31 homes in Phase Two. In 1999, Saussy Burbank received national acclaim when one of its bungalow designs was named the best single-family home under 1,500 square feet in the Best in America Living Award competition (BALA), which drew 429 entries. BALA, the nation's foremost residential design competition, is co-sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders and Professional Builder magazine. "We were honored to receive the Gold Award. It underscored our commitment to creating affordable homes that support our founding principles of design and quality," said Burbank.McNeill Burbank Builder Story
Located in Cary, NC, McNeill Burbank Homes, LLC has become one of the best known homebuilders in the Triangle area. Founded in 1992 by Al McNeill and Jim Burbank, McNeill Burbank is a subsidiary of the Charlotte-based homebuilder, Saussy Burbank.McNeill Burbank homes can be found in some of the most desirable communities in the Triangle, such as the award-winning Southern Village in Chapel Hill, Falls River in Raleigh, Sunset Ridge in Holly Springs, and Heritage in Wake Forest. In 2000, Duke University chose McNeill Burbank as the sole builder for Trinity, a community designed specifically for Duke faculty and staff. Trinity received the 2000 George and Mary Pyne Historic Preservation Award, given by the Historic Preservation Society of Durham for the outstanding merit of this project.Both McNeill Burbank and Saussy Burbank have consistently ranked extraordinarily high in customer satisfaction. They attribute much of this success to their commitment to a guiding principle: That each home should be unique and offer the same quality of design and craftsmanship, regardless of size or price point.College Neighborhoods, Expansion and InfillThe Davidson College Development Corporation selected Saussy Burbank as the sole builder for home construction in McConnell, a traditional neighborhood created for Davidson College faculty and staff as well as the public. McConnell combined homes of various sizes and price points arranged around a central green. Saussy Burbank's design emphasis, vast portfolio of elevations and floor plans, and flexibility made it a natural fit for this neighborhood of 198 homes built over an eight year period from 1993 to 2000.In 1998, Bank of America Community Development Corporation engaged Saussy Burbank to build 16 homes in Parkside, an infill community located in Charlotte's redeveloping First Ward community, blocks from Uptown. These 16 homes sold quickly and led to the addition of the Garden District's 37 single-family and three duplex homes, offered in late 2000. The Garden District homes sold within 16 months at prices ranging from the upper $200's to low $400's, price points that many would have thought unattainable in the Uptown area.Saussy Burbank has built homes in the Triangle's Raleigh - Durham market since the early 90's through a subsidiary, McNeill Burbank homes. McNeill Burbank has built the same designs patterned in Charlotte including planned communities in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Durham and Chapel Hill. McNeill Burbank's most intriguing work may be found in the bungalow homes built in Trinity Heights in Durham, homes built primarily for Duke University faculty and staff adjacent to the East Campus.Saussy Burbank also constructed homes in Asheville's Biltmore Park from 1996 - 1999. In 2000, the firm expanded into the Charleston, South Carolina market with new offerings in the Legend Oaks and White Gables communities in the Summerville sub-market.ompleted CommunitiesBallantyne Meadows, Beverly Crest, Birkdale Village, Blakeney Greens, Chatham, Citiside, Cline Village, Deer Park, Douglas Park, First Ward, Fox Den, The Greens at Birkdale Village, Hawthorne, Lake Davidson, Lake Park, Masters Hill, McConnell, Orchid Hill, Park at Oaklawn, Quellin, SailView, Scotland Avenue, Selwyn Farms, The Harbour, The Landing, The Oaks & Watson Street Bedford at Falls River, Cary Park, Dogwood Ridge, Downing Creek, Falls River, Hope Valley Farms, Southern Village, Sunset Ridge, The Place, Trinity Heights & Waterford Green Charleston:Legend Oaks & Province
