With new home construction building momentum, Redstone Homes seeks construction manager

As the new home construction industry continues to rebuild itself from the ashes of the economic downturn, Grand Rapids construction firm Redstone Homes seeks additional construction professionals to handle the increase in demand.

Gary Hensch, president of Redstone Homes, says the company recently added a director of purchasing and seeks an experienced construction manager.

"Home building has picked up dramatically since October 2012 and most home builders who survived the recession are extremely busy," Hensch says. "With a little luck, Redstone Homes will add a second new construction manager in three or four months."

Redstone Homes, which specializes in building customized condominiums, celebrated 16 years last week and has seven employees. The company lists several area condominium communities on its list of achievements, including The Preserve at Boulder Creek Golf Club, Aberdeen Ridge, Evergreen Lakes, High Ridge Condominiums near Ada, and Trillium Glen.

"We have built 1,100 condos in Greater Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Kalamazoo, and other areas," Hensch says. "We embrace customization and that's unusual for builders; builders shy away from customization. We are the developer, we do our own sales, we build the condos, and then work with the buyer to customize the condos."

Hensch says that because the customization can include everything from preserving trees on the land to be developed, adding square footage to a condo plan, bathroom and kitchen upgrades, and finished lower levels, the company seeks an experienced construction manager with a college degree in construction management. Construction experience is also a must-have.
