Hamlet Homes Awarded the 2022 National Housing Quality Award Bronze Medal

For all the right reasons, Hamlet Homes was recognized as The 2022 Utah National Housing Quality Award© Bronze Medal winner, sponsored by Pro Builder Media. The process in which this award was won, was amongst the most intense internal audits a company can go through – and not just as a homebuilder. The Utah National Housing Quality Awards (NHQ) are a self-examination of the interworkings, processes, and procedures of a Homebuilder in which eight categories of the company are audited for opportunities for improvement and to highlight areas which are considered industry best practice. Throughout this process, Hamlet Homes leadership and some of its team members examined each of the eight areas: Leadership, Strategic Planning, Performance Management, Customer Satisfaction, Human Resources, Construction Quality, Trade Relations and Business Results. Each group identified areas which could use improvement through process management, analytics, communication, or new innovative ideas. In addition, they also realized that there was a lot that Hamlet is already doing well – in fact, setting industry standards considered best practices in many areas. The application and examination process lasted a couple of months before the final submission. Once that submission was complete, they would have to wait just over a month to hear that the review committee moved them to the next level of the application which was a live “Judges Visit”. Four extremely qualified judges, made up of current and former homebuilding executives, came to Hamlet Homes to examine their business practices, employees and trade partners in person, concluding that Hamlet was already at high levels. “This process was not easy, but it was well worth the effort. We did not enter into this process hoping for a medal or an award, although now that we have one it is a great reward, but more to gain perspective on where our company performance is compared to other homebuilders. Just like you might have an outside consulting firm do an audit on your company, we instead invested the time into this self-audit and found that we came out of this with more than we could have expected, both to improve upon our business practices, but also as a culture building exercise.” said Barry Gittleman, Hamlet Homes President/CEO/Owner Hamlet Homes was one of three Homebuilders in the nation that received recognition at this high level after the “Judges Visit”.
