Committed, Focused, Efficient, Preferred ... PulteGroup, Inc.

Since its founding in 1950, PulteGroup, Inc. has been fulfilling the American Dream of homeownership while maintaining a steady focus on quality and customer satisfaction.

Today, PulteGroup operates in 67 markets throughout 29 states and the District of Columbia, and is the nation’s sole multi-brand homebuilding company capable of serving homeowners during all phases of life through three distinct brands: Centex, for first-time homebuyers; Pulte Homes, for consumers in the move-up market; and Del Webb, for active adults age 55 and better. Few builders are able to accommodate such a broad spectrum of customers.

“Exceptional quality and customer service are vital competitive advantages for a builder when customers have a wealth of choices, and at PulteGroup, they’re an intrinsic part of our company’s culture,” said Richard J. Dugas, Jr., CEO of PulteGroup, Inc. “It’s gratifying to see that homebuyers are recognizing the efforts of our employees and trade partners in delivering the best homeownership experience.

“We're committed to delivering quality homes, both in the way our homes are built, and in the preferred products we feature in them. During construction, we focus on creating an overall tight building envelope to maximize comfort and energy savings in the home."

As Charleston’s leading homebuilder, PulteGroup appeals to many segments of the homebuying public, and the company maintains a comprehensive system for communicating with customers to ensure their questions are answered and their needs are met throughout the entire sales, home completion and delivery process. The accompanying map illustrates which brand is available in each of PulteGroup’s prime Charleston tri-county area communities.

Pulte Homes. Life beyond measure.™

Over the past 60+ years, Pulte Homes has built more than 500,000 homes, and its experience and size benefit you at every stage of the building process. As with PulteGroup’s other brands, that process begins with the ability to locate prime parcels of land, first-rate materials, and brand-name suppliers, followed by upholding a long-standing reputation for effectively managing new home construction, using high-quality materials, and offering numerous exterior and interior home options. It ends with you knowing that you have the best home for the best value.

But the process doesn’t stop with construction. As a trusted homebuilder, Pulte Homes has developed and refined the industry’s first multi-level customer care program – a 7-step process – to ensure that owners like you are involved at every critical stage. It’s a chance for you to see the quality materials and disciplined approach to construction that go into the creation of your new home. It’s also a chance for you to enjoy the rare and thrilling experience of watching what was once just an idea — a notion, a dream — take shape. Plus, Pulte backs its homes with unprecedented warranties, like no other in the industry. With a Pulte-built home, you’re involved from the start … and Pulte is involved beyond the finish.

Featured on this issue’s front cover and in this story is Pulte’s newest neighborhood, Scotts Creek, a delightful community that is spectacular in so many ways. Tucked into a prime Mt. Pleasant location, away from all the hustle and bustle of today’s life, Scotts Creek’s sheer beauty will sweep you away from the moment you enter the neighborhood. Its park-like setting with large wooded homesites, beautiful old trees, ponds, miles of walking trails and gently curving streets provides a spectacular backdrop for the striking homes. The natural beauty was kept intact – no clear-cutting here – giving you one of the area’s most picturesque views as you sit on your gorgeous front porch, comfortable back deck or charming outdoor living area sipping your morning coffee and soaking in nature’s beauty. All homeowners have access to the community dock, which is ideal for kayaking/canoeing, crabbing or fishing.

To further complement Scotts Creek’s location and natural beauty, Pulte’s semi-custom, lowcountry four- and five-bedroom homes are all top of the line. With these stunning homes of up to more than 4000 square feet, Pulte has pulled out all the stops to ensure that every residence has the look and feel of a custom home … without the custom price tag. The available features list is tremendous, loaded with exclusive choices you may not have even thought of, but which add so much to each home’s beauty, comfort and function, all designed to provide you with an energy-efficient masterpiece.

In addition to a community’s natural beauty and quality construction, convenience is a huge consideration, and Scotts Creek does not disappoint. If you want, you can be on the Ravenel Bridge to downtown Charleston in less than five minutes. You’re also within 10 minutes from either MUSC Hospital complex or the new Mt. Pleasant Roper St. Francis Hospital. And, you’re only four miles from the beach!

As one of Scotts Creek’s newest homeowners, the Lee family sums up nicely why Scotts Creek is so special. “We love all that this part of Mt. Pleasant has to offer, but we wanted to move into a new home. Until Scotts Creek opened, that just wasn’t an option. Now we feel we have the best of both worlds – all the charm of Old Mt. Pleasant and a new home with a floor plan that fits our family perfectly. We took our boys out on the community dock and can picture them growing up crabbing, fishing and kayaking. We can’t wait! And the proximity to the beach will make for countless fun family outings. “The team was great (and fun!) to work with, and the building process was a breeze. We were able to make all of our own selections and it was completed and ready ahead of schedule!”

Centex. Put yourself in a better place.™

Founded in 1950, Dallas-based Centex joined the Pulte Homes family in August 2009, and the two companies merged to create one of the nation's largest homebuilders. Knowing that “value” is of the utmost importance, Centex started with a simple premise: Families of all sizes and at all stages should have access to quality homes at prices they can afford.

As part of the PulteGroup family, Centex primarily serves first-time buyers and has been building in the Charleston area for more than 23 years. Known for customer service, Centex caters especially to those who are new to the process, answering every question along the way.

From thoughtful floor plans to inviting neighborhoods, Centex provides first-time buyers just what they’re looking for in a place to call home. Spacious floor plans are a given, but another tremendous value and additional peace of mind that Centex affords its homeowners is the Centex Protection Plan Warranty. This transferable plan offers a one-year overall coverage warranty, two-year mechanical systems coverage, five-year protection against leaks, and a ten-year structural warranty, ensuring that Centex homeowners get the very most for their money.
