DALLAS' PREMIER DESIGN / BUILD / REMODEL FIRM

ATTENDS NATIONAL REMODELING WORKSHOP

Dallas, TX - Tuesday, August 6, 2002 - The Burke Company, one of Dallas' most prestigious design, build, and remodeling firms recently attended the Remodelers Advantage Design / Build Workshop, a unique three-day workshop focused on the design / build remodeling system. The workshop was held in Rockville, Maryland from July 8-10, 2002.

Design / build is a highly popular remodeling system through which companies offer both creative design and quality construction under one umbrella. Consumers love the one-stop shopping aspect that's been a part of the Burke system for over 41 years. Furthermore, the marriage of design and build provides a level of comfort for the homeowner, as The Burke Company is proud to take responsibility for the entire project from beginning to end. This system avoids the finger pointing that often occurs when an architect designs the project and then hires a contractor to build it.

Mr. Burke says, "The design / build business model brings the ultimate value to our clients. We're able to focus our design on maximizing the client's investment without going over budget. Because we're also building it, we can fast-track the process to give the homeowners their home's personal transformation much more quickly than the traditional method. This workshop affirmed for our company what we've known all along - for 41 years, we are proud to deliver the utmost value to our clients."

The Burke Company's design ingenuity can be seen at numerous homes throughout the Lakewood, White Rock, and Preston Hollow areas. Residents of these areas could truly select most any firm for their home's transformation. However, with Burke's deep commitment to integrity and craftsmanship and numerous accolades, awards and recognitions in the industry, hundreds of homeowners have trusted nobody else. As the company continues to expand its design, build and remodeling horizons, the National Housing Quality award, the most prestigious in the industry, is now included as a formal part of Burke's strategizing process.
