ForeverHome Selects Studio Chateau as the Preferred Online Home Options Selection Program

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- North Carolina based ForeverHome has selected Studio Chateau as their preferred online home options management program.  With nine new home communities currently selling and a leader in new home sales, ForeverHome builds quality homes, with amazing features at unbeatable prices. Studio Chateau will partner with ForeverHome buyers to maximize their design experience by providing an online catalog of the options available for their new home while concurrently providing a complete purchasing, contracting and financial operating environment for the home builder and design center.

In working to advance their innovative new internet-based options selection management program, Studio Chateau will be exhibiting at the International Builder Show (IBS), January 12th – 15th.  Guests are encouraged to visit booth W4674 for real time, one-on-one product demonstrations.

"We are thrilled to add ForeverHome to our current roster of nationwide clients as we expand into the North Carolina market," stated Carolyn Little, Vice President of Options Management.  "We're looking forward to sharing our innovative program with home builders at IBS in January and further expand our portfolio to include more clients like ForeverHome in 2011."

The creation of this technology springboards from the 30-year history of parent company Chateau Interiors, a full-service interior design center focused on meeting the needs of the builder options program.

The challenging climate of the housing industry proved the perfect opportunity to launch a program to increase customer satisfaction, improve company bottom line profits and introduce the concept of options selection technology.

This expert system offers state-of-the-art web-based technology that improves communications during the new home purchase coupled with the interior options selection process.  The system connects the homebuyer, sales, design center, purchasing, accounting, construction, trade partners, subcontractors and escrow by providing them all with accurate real-time information.

This innovative program includes: a visual lot specific options catalog for each community, drag and drop placement diagrams for each floorplan, construction cut-off date notification and management, purchase order generation and subcontractor notification, complete flooring system, accounting management and customer service follow-up and survey.

Studio Chateau is the national leader in design center technology for builder options. For more information, visit www.studiochateau.com; call Lynn Ellis (619) 916-7959 or Dave Snow (602) 920-1564.
