A highly regarded construction manager who has been involved in the building of tens of thousands of new homes across the North West has joined an ambitious, growing housebuilder.

David Graziano has worked in management roles with some of the country’s largest home builders including Redrow, Miller Homes and more latterly as head of construction at Bellway Homes Manchester.

His prestigious career in construction spanning 34 years will continue at Cumbrian-based Genesis Homes after being appointed as construction director.

David said

“The time felt right for a new challenge, and this is an opportunity I’m really excited about. I’m a fan of the Genesis Homes product and its specifications, and I was really impressed with Managing Director Nicky Gordon’s ambitions to grow the business. What is core to Genesis Homes is its overall brand and making sure all its developments are consistent, and that customer satisfaction and industry standards are always achieved. This is something vital to me as I will move heaven and earth to make sure I deliver what I set out to. There is nothing more satisfying in the role than seeing the delight on the faces of your customers receiving the keys to their new home after you have turned a piece of land into a desirable place to live.”

Early in his career, David worked as a trainee assistant manager at Redrow before making the move to Miller Homes four years later, where he worked his way up the company to the position of Contracts Manager.

After 16 years with Miller, Bellway Homes appointed David as a Senior Contracts Manager in 2016 and he was made the company’s Head of Construction in 2022.

David said:

“It’s been an interesting journey in construction for me so far because I’ve worked on thousands of new homes across the whole of the North West. I have had some good schooling and made some really good relationships that have served me well. But my goals have never changed. I want to achieve what we say we will achieve – customer satisfaction and building homes that people want to live in. What makes this possible is working with everyone in the office right through to the junior quantity surveyor to make sure every department knows what the other is doing, and that helps every department work more effectively.”

Nicky Gordon said:

“Attracting somebody with such a high level of expertise, experience and knowledge of working in the construction industry is a major milestone in the Genesis Homes journey. David is one of the best in the business and we are excited about seeing how he can help drive up standards across the whole team with his leadership capabilities and great eye for detail. I’m so proud of how quickly Genesis Homes has developed over the years, and I’m looking forward to seeing how far we will grow now that we have enlisted the services of somebody as esteemed as David.”

David is based out of Genesis Homes’ new £200,000, tailored built headquarters in the Cumbrian town of Penrith.
