Why Dalewood CONSTRUCTIONS formed:
David and Megan met in high school and have been together ever since. They had been renting since moving out of home at eighteen, and having their own home seemed like an unachievable goal. They had signed another 6-month lease on their rental and the rent had gone up again. After calculating how much they had paid to the landlord, they reached a turning point. Dalewood Constructions began as a means to provide them (and others in a similar position), with what they needed to get ahead – their first home.
