Charlie Whitfield of Ravin Homes was selected as the 2006 “Superintendent of the Year” for Peachtree City during the annual awards presentation at the Peachtree City Council meeting on Thursday night, Jan. 18.

Tom Carty, the city’s Building Official, said the annual building awards were from the entire Peachtree City developmental staff, which includes the Planning, Engineering and tBuilding Departments.

Commenting on the award presented to Whitfield, Carty said, “Charlie is the type of superintendent that you want to build your home. He always pays attention to details, working closely with the field inspectors and the office staff from the time that the permit application is applied until the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. He is a very experienced superintendent, and Peachtree City is proud to recognize him for all his efforts to improve the building industry.”

Whitfield, a resident of the Stonebriar subdivision in Fayetteville, heads up building in Ravin Homes’ Cedarcroft community in Peachtree City, where the third and final phase is about to open. In the building industry for more than 20 years, he joined Ravin six years ago. Over the years, he has built from 500 to 600 homes.

The 220-home Cedarcroft community is off MacDuff Parkway, which runs off Highway 54 West a short distance west of Highway 74 North. The home prices in the community begin in the low $200,000s, and there will be 72 homesites in the final phase.

Ravin Homes Inc. was founded by Vincent F. Rossetti, a homebuilder for more than 50 years, who began building in Peachtree City and Fayette County, Georgia, in 1974 after years of success in other well known planned communities such as Columbia, Md., and The Woodlands in Houston, Tx. In 1979, his oldest son Michael, who currently serves as president, joined the company, and in 1982, Ravin Homes was incorporated. Vince Rossetti’s daughter, DeSales deGolian, joined the firm in 1990 and is currently a senior vice president.

Ravin Homes’ approach to building homes is to operate the business with the values and needs of its customers firmly in mind.
Since the company’s inception, a major focus has been to design and build homes specifically for each individual family as opposed to building “cookie cutter” homes.
