Current Scenario:

Happy homes Inc. is one of the top 10 new construction companies in the Northwest region of Florida. Its headquarter is in Niceville, Fl. Happy homes deal in new construction homes in affordable and sought after subdivisions.

In January 2015 Happy homes was founded by Dominick Linnus and Ella Linnus. In the second year, it was named the best home builders by the better business bureau. In 2019 the company was sold to Brian Butter. Since the new CEO took over he switched the use of the electrical, plumbing, and construction contractors. He has been contracting with lower quality workers at high-end prices since his father has affiliations with the newly selected contractors. This has been crippling our quality of homes and our ROI. In the past, we were constructing 38 homes a year with a profit of 100,000 per home. Currently, from June of 2019 to the present we have only built and sold 18 homes with a net profit of 75,000 per home. This new project plan is designed to build 38, 3,000 square ft homes in a subdivision within a year for under 475,000 with an estimated appraisal/sale value of 575,000.
