- (Virginia Beach,
VA), Bullington Builders
Opens Woman-Centric Home Design Studio
April
2008 - Bullington Builders opened
its first home Woman-Centricsm design
studio in March 2008. Elizabeth Anne Home Design
Studios was opened to support Bullington's' Woman-Centricsm approach
to home design, building and the customer experience.
Opening the design studio was a huge, and very
forward thinking move for Bullington. No other
builder in the Virginia Beach our area has a design
center/studio, unless
you consider a model home garage/office with wood
and tile samples propped up against the wall in
a dusty corner. The
studio is only 1300 sq ft, yet, Tanya Bullington
succeeded in making it “feel” much
larger by dividing the space and incorporating
several small
studios
within this space. The Bullington Design Studio
is located conveniently between a “Curves
for Women” and
a nail salon…..on
purpose of course!

“Our
market has been slow, so building a $600,000 spec
home was a big risk. It was also our first woman-centric
home. It sold the first day of the Parade at full
asking price!”
- Denny Lenth, Denny Lenth Construction Cedar Falls, IA |
|
|
“My
buyers are a walking testimony to the Woman-Centric
Homes! The whole concept of Woman-Centric is
very inviting... Every Woman-Centric home we’ve
built has sold. Guys
are going on our website, looking at the Woman-Centric
home designs and amenities, and asking us for
these homes.”

engaging model home signage, to designing our garage
sales centers and personalization studio, to website
enhancements, a custom edition of their Her Home
magazine and public relations, the marketing program
is first rate!”

STAFF TRAINING
“
Your Woman-Centric training was great! For the
sub- contractors, most all of them thought it was
worth their while. My sheet rocker gave me an excuse
why he couldn’t stay all day and then ended
up staying all day and complimented us on the course.
Also our REALTOR® training was a great hit
and I have received numerous compliments on that.”
