"Do Well By Doing Good"

Founded in 1979, Fred Williams Homebuilder has earned a reputation for doing what seems to be the impossible - building a home with expansive square footage and superior quality at an incredibly low cost. The way they have accomplished this feat is a testament to a company that has held firm to its values and mission for over 30 years.

"At the core of our company is our philosophy - 'Do well by doing good' - a quote made famous by Benjamin Franklin in the 1700's," Fred says. "For us, it's not just a slogan, it's the way we do business."

At Fred Williams Homebuilder, the corporate culture is a strong and vibrant foundation that serves as a touchstone for every decision made every day by every employee. It is an understanding that "Do well by doing good" benefits not only the company and its employees, but the homeowners who live in the communities in which they build.

No where is the corporate philosophy more clearly expressed than in the company's mission. "More House, Less Money" is aimed at providing each homeowner with more house, more service and more value for less money and less worry.

"When I think about our company's mission, I take pride in it," says Windy Hunter, Sales Administrator for Fred Williams Homebuilder. "We're able to give customers more space to live in, more room to enjoy their lives and more comfort in their homes."

Another core value adopted by the Fred Williams team is the "Raving Fan" customer service concept: discovering what the buyer wants then delivering a quality home and outstanding customer service consistently, time after time.

Fred Williams Homebuilder also works hard to add value in the community. The company has been proactive in working on the development of two charter schools that will greatly expand West Chatham's public educational choices. West Chatham Preparatory Academy, scheduled to open this fall in Pooler, will accommodate high school students while Imagine Schools' Port Wentworth campus, a kindergarten through 8th grade school, is still in the approval process.

So how, you may wonder, are they able to do it all for less? From accounting to customer service, each department is focused on implementing systems and streamlining processes so that savings are constantly passed on to the home buyer. Stephanie Steele, Controller and long-time employee says, "We pride ourselves on our teamwork, offering more service with less worry as we never meet a challenge we cannot overcome."

As added assurance, each new home is accompanied by an extensive home buyer's warranty covering certain structural elements for up to ten years. The company strives to give each home buyer what they need most: peace of mind.

Fred Williams has instilled in his company's corporate culture a firm commitment to enhancing the opportunities and experiences of everyone involved in his success; from employees to home buyers and even to the broader community. Benjamin Franklin would be delighted to know that Fred Williams has done well by doing good. After all, profitability drives possibilities.
