John Laing Homes’ Custom Residences program will be managed by the builder’s award-winning Laing Luxury division and led by newly appointed Director of Custom Development Craig Delahooke. “Laing Luxury’s Custom Residence program is an extension of our belief that a home should be, as much as possible, an expression of the lives lived within it,” says Tom Redwitz, president of Laing Luxury. “For decades, this belief has been a part of Laing Luxury – which is founded upon achieving personal satisfaction for its homeowners. Custom Residences simply takes this understanding farther; as far as a custom homeowner desires it to go.” Standard Pacific Homes’ Inland Empire Division continues to provide a higher level of customer service, a commitment that extends to standardpacificinland.com, its Web site.
