AwardsLand Ark Homes wins America's Best Builder Award 2004
Land Ark Homes has been highly successful by providing proven home designs that are stylish and designed for today's lifestyle. The company builds in prestigious estate communities on two acre lots that are convenient to employment centers and a construction process that is easy, straightforward and allows for client input. Land Ark Homes builds approximately 22 homes per year, putting it into the category of small volume for this award. They are responsible for creating the exclusive communities of Vance Farm and Ridingview Estates. Land Ark Homes will be opening a new community this year - Ridgeside Farm, in Kanata, Ontario.
Stephen Rolston, one of the two owners of the company is responsible for overseeing all projects under construction and long term planning. Diana Rolston, co-owner, is responsible for the marketing and promotion of the company and overseeing long term planning with Stephen. Diana, who works part time fulfilling her duties at Land Ark Homes, says "A balanced life is what we strive for. Our family life is very important to us. In the past we've spent 100 hour work weeks in the office but these days we have found a comfortable balance between work, family, friends, and our spiritual life". The Craftsman style home series has been extremely popular for Land Ark Homes due to its easy informality and popular nostalgia. Many of the company's homes are designed with multiple exteriors - giving buyers a choice of exterior style while necessitating only minor modifications in the interior layout. This custom Home Purchase Process simplifies the building and construction process, while providing additional choices to the buyer. Land Ark builds homes based on a portfolio of proven award-winning homes that can be extensively modified to satisfy individual client needs and desires. Land Ark Homes has been an active participant in local community and professional organizations. It is a member of the Ottawa-Carleton Home Builders Association and has been chosen as the People's Choice Builder of the Year in Kanata in 2001 and 2002 and Ontario Builder of the Year in 2002 and 2003 by Ontario New Home Warranty Program for its quality construction and exceptional after-sales service.

Land Ark Homes, a custom home builder based in Stittsville was presented one of the most prestigious awards in the home building industry at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas, January 21, 2004. In addition to being chosen for its excellence in all aspects of homebuilding, this award is presented to the company who demonstrates excellence in all aspects of the company's business including customer service, management, financial performance, community and industry service, marketing, and innovative approaches to the challenges of the industry. Land Ark Homes is the first Canadian builder to win this award. "This is primarily a business award, analyzing, in depth, all areas of our business and comparing us directly with other exceptional companies in our industry throughout the United States and Canada. We are very honoured, beyond words", says Stephen Rolston, co-owner of Land Ark Homes.
The management system of Land Ark Homes is impressive with its tight controls on scheduling. Equally impressive is its goal of delivering a defect-free home on time. A lofty objective for most other builders, Land Ark Homes has met all of its closing commitments over its fourteen years of building homes in the Ottawa area. By having tight controls on its building schedules and costs, the company is able to build a number of model and inventory homes to even out its workload, therefore leveling the work flow throughout the year for its dedicated Trade Contractors. In addition, Land Ark Homes is able to minimize construction problems, ensuring a higher level of customer satisfaction.
