Clayton Properties Group Named Builder of the Year 2019

Chafin Communities is proud to be part of Clayton Properties Group. Clayton has goals to overcome two big challenges, its meteoric and the potentially game-changing success at both is why the company is the choice for 2019 Builder of the Year. In quote of the article:

For much of Clayton’s six-decade history, its executive management has been intent on elevating both manufactured housing business and its customers. They also want raising safety, quality, durability, energy performance of the homes, plus financial stature of people who buy them.

Now Clayton’s story has a new chapter. The narrative over the past few years could easily serve as a classic case study from the Buffett playbook on principles of company acquisition. In such a playbook, people, a future-proof operations model and trust figure more importantly in deals than physical plants, product outputs, or other hard assets, including home sites. Clayton’s everyday business philosophy, to “open doors to a better life,” presupposes a mind-meld of both vision and mission. It’s where profit and opportunity cross paths with risk and challenge for other competitors in the field.

Dream big. Mind the everyday minutia. Expect tough challenges around the next corner. Serve families and their pursuit of America’s promises of upward mobility to those who work for it. These flashing arrows of each Berkshire operating unit point to principles at the foundation of the Clayton Homes leadership. Driving from the outer fringe segment of manufactured home building into the heart and soul icon of the American dream itself, the single-family starter home.

“Mr. Buffett is thinking 100 years out. He could not care less if a downturn happens in the next quarter or in the next five years.”—Kevin Clayton, Clayton Homes president and CEO.
