MCBC BUILDER OF THE YEAR …Rick Carr, President of Sunscape Homes, Inc., was named MCBC Builder of the Year for 2002. This award is presented by 35 of the top custom homebuilders in Central Florida who are members of the prestigious Master Custom Builder Council. “I feel very honored to have been chosen as MCBC Builder of the Year from such an accomplished group of builders,” said Rick.

Builders who are members of the MCBC pledge to maintain the highest professional standards in the homebuilding industry. Those who are members don’t cut corners on integrity, craftsmanship, or personal service. Rick not only meets the strict criteria required to be the MCBC Builder of the Year, but he is also actively involved in all areas of the building industry.

Since 1984, Sunscape Homes has insisted on a genuine commitment to personalized service and customer satisfaction, building trust and respect for our clients and us. After building and showcasing the American Lung Association “Health House” for the Southeastern Builders Conference, Sunscape Homes reinforced its long standing commitment to continue to adopt methods, strategies, and materials for better constructed homes that offer the very best quality of life environments for all of their home buyers. Rick’s pledge to go above and beyond what’s expected in custom homebuilding was showcased in 1997 with this home. Rick said, “We are extremely proud of our solid reputation with all types of buyers including luxury homes, move-up buyers, young families, and empty nesters.”

Sunscape Homes feels their membership in the Master Custom Builder Council and their designation as a Master Custom Builder reflects on their years of specialized instruction, their high craftsmanship standards and their pledge to provide quality craftsmanship and professional service.

Rick has served as Vice President of the MCBC for the past four years and has been actively involved in pursuing the high standards that MCBC expects in all its activities, and he was recently elected President of the MCBC for 2003. He is also a member of the HBA of Mid Florida, the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida, and the West Orange Chamber of Commerce.

Rick has served as co-chairman of the Fund Raising Committee, and has also been an active participant in the MCBC Custom Home Building Seminars, and the MCBC Realtor Award Banquets. Rick has traveled with other MCBC builders to tour various parts of the country in order to be better informed on the different types of architecture and the newest construction techniques in the industry.

Rick and his wife, Karen, have been active in all of the MCBC community service projects including the Children’s Home Crisis Nursery Christmas Party and Easter Egg Hunt, and the Orlando Day Care Nursery workdays spent spreading mulch, and laying a drain to keep water off the basketball court. Sunscape Homes also participated in building the 21 new pallazzos at Give Kids The world, and the special events for the Children’s Home Crisis Nursery held at GKTW Village. They have been involved with the addition being done at the Winter Park Day Nursery, the Kids Club Food Drive, and the annual MCBC Toy Drive.

As a member of the MCBC, Rick has taken a pledge to live and work to meet the standards set by the organization and remains committed to making the promises that will ensure a better building industry, a better community, and a better country.

“The MCBC is extremely proud to have a builder and person of Rick Carr’s caliber on our Council,” said Dixie Goolsby, Executive Director.

Rick sums up the philosophy for his company in this way, “I believe it’s all about people and going that extra mile for someone. It not only satisfies you professionally, but it gives you a great personal satisfaction.” For more information on Sunscape Homes, call 407-876-1811.
