“Lower volumes allow a more personal relationship,” Paul explains. “We’re able to get to know all our clients, their needs, tastes, their lifestyle requirements. We’re then able to deliver them a home that meets or exceeds all those requirements.” Paul and Pat first teamed up and formed Homes By Managen in 1987. From the start, they had a clear idea of what kind of homes they wanted to build, and they understood the attention they needed to give them to make them successful. “We’ve always wanted to do unique, one-off homes with custom designs for each individual client,” Paul recalls. “We wanted to sit down with clients, listen to what they wanted, and then figure out how to help them get it.” “We never wanted to take on more than we could handle,” he adds. “And we’ve kept to that. We still only take on a limited number of homes per year, depending on their scale and difficulty. Every single one is unique and client-specific and designed and built to meet their individual needs.” Today, Paul is responsible for project estimation, sales and marketing. He also holds a real estate license and assists clients with their real estate needs. Pat, meanwhile, is an experienced framer and project manager.
