Greenville, SC, September 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Addison Homes is pleased to announce the addition of two employees as the custom builder expands to meet increasing demand for its healthy, high-performance homes.

Melissa Hill Threatt, Assoc. AIA, has joined Addison Homes as an estimator. In this role she prepares budgetary and contract estimates for new home projects. Threatt earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture as well as a second BA in Modern Languages/Spanish from Clemson University, and a Master’s Degree in Architecture from Louisiana State University. She is an associate member of the American Institute of Architects; membership director of the Greenville Section of the American Institute of Architects; and co-director of architecture for Humanity: Greenville.

Ken Penland has joined Addison Homes as a project superintendent. He oversees construction of the firm’s EarthCraft House™ and ENERGY STAR® certified homes, ensuring best-practice procedures are implemented from start to finish. Penland earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from Asheville Buncombe Community College and has more than a dozen years’ experience in construction and project management.

“We are pleased to add such high-caliber employees to our staff,” says Todd Usher, president of Addison Homes, a company that builds all of its homes to rigorous ENERGY STAR® and EarthCraft House™ standards. “Despite the current downtrend in the housing market, we are busy building homes.”

Usher says the company is growing along with consumer awareness of how cost-effective it is to build toward maximum energy efficiency.

“Our clients appreciate long-term value, particularly in terms of dollars saved month after month on utility bills,” he says. “That’s why we now offer a Utility Bill Guarantee—a promise that our clients will pay less to heat and cool their homes … or we pay the difference.”
