As office manager/sales rep. for Sign*A*Rama in Durham, NC, I have had the opportunity to work with Chad Collins on all his signage needs. Over the years his attention to detail and design in his signs certainly indicates to me that he has the same attention and pride in his building projects.

Everybody at the board room table may be willing to nod and agree to anything that is said. Everybody but one. And fortunately for us – or all the members of the HBA – he wanted questions answered before he let anything come to a vote. As loyal in his attendance as he was diligent in his duty to inquire, only a house closing kept him away from a board meeting. One. In two years. He is so consistently a part of our membership meetings that we may cancel if he doesn’t sign up. When it came time to solicit BuildPAC contributions from Board members, we found that his pledge was made and paid before others could reach for their wallets. With everything that is going on in his life, it is nothing short of amazing that he could devote as much time and passion to the HBA as he has – but he has, so the 2007 Director of the Year is Chad Collins, Collins Design-Build Inc.

He has always conducted his business in a very professional manner. Seldom do you work in the construction business without some degree of difficulty. It is during these times that he demonstrates his consideration for his sub-contractors and suppliers handling these situations with kindness and understanding. His knowledge of the construction process is outstanding. His homes are built with close supervision and stand out as being superior. He has been prompt on payment terms and never late as to the payment terms agreed to. His credit with our company is excellent. I do not hesitate recommending Chad Collins or his company to anyone considering building a home. I would certainly consider him for building mine.
