GROWING A FAMILY BUSINESS

From a part-time deck builder and basement finisher to a multi-million dollar a year business. How did two, soon to be retired, Air Force officers start a weekend business constructing small decks and finishing basements and within fifteen years they are completing their fifth multi-family housing project?

Each step in their growth was a logical progression of incremental change: from remodeler to their first single family residence, then to multiple homes per year. Then a leap to multi-family projects where Bob Ormston and Scott Hente found a successful niche. They were able to replicate their business formula again and again.

Focusing on slow considered growth, sound fiscal decisions, a standard of high quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to their community their reputation developed as one of the fastest growing small business in the country.

Today, their sons, Matt Ormston and Mike Hente, work as in-field superintendents learning all aspects of the construction industry, working daily with our customers and taking this family company into the 21st century.

 
 


-- It is that simple. Why us? Robert Scott Custom Homes is recognized locally, statewide and nationally as an exceptionally qualified home builder. As previous "Builders of the Year" for Colorado Springs we were recognized for our significant contributions to the colorado springs Community and as the 2007 "Colorado Builder of the Year" our Vice President, Scott Hente was recognized for his contributions to the Colorado building industry, as a whole. At the national level, we have been recognized on two different occasions as one of the fastest growing builder in the United States. While accolades are nice, your main question is still probably "Why us?"

First, we have developed a unique understanding of the building industry and the local real estate market. We are both retired military who started in the building business in 1993. Veterans of buying, living in and fixing up 20 + different homes during a combined 42 years of service and more than 25 moves, we understand what people were looking for in homes, regardless of size. We have also helped design and build over 300 residences in Colorado Springs.

Additionally, our close ties with the realtor community help keep us abreast of the latest trends and custom home clients desires. Fully understanding our clients' needs and integrating those needs into a cost effective, efficient design is probably the most critical ingredient in the construction of your new home.

Secondly, our main focus with our clients centers on trust, accountability and responsibility. That's why you deal directly with us or our sons on all phases of your home building experience. We are so committed to making your building experience a success that if we lead you astray on anything regarding your purchase, you can walk away and all monies will be returned - that is our guarantee to you.

We are also an Energy Start Partner. Under this program, we partner with the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure your home is truly energy efficient. The E-Star label should give you the peace of mind that your new home will have a lower cost of ownership, perform better, be environmentally conscience, as well as a smart overall investment. E-Star performance is measured through third party verification from a certified inspector.

Robert Scott Custom Homes is a family owned business which is committed to providing you a fine quality home. We are available at your convenience to discuss the possibility of building your home on a lot you own, one of our lots or a lot which we can help you find. We build in all price ranges and just because "custom" is in our name it does mean "cost is no object" To us "custom" means getting what you want in your home not what we think you need. We are here to help you achieve that end.
