The National Preferred Partner Survey format consists of two questions with a 1-to-5 rating system for partners and is sent to David Weekley Homes team members who are currently doing business with them in their market. When the partners receive their quarterly results, they are shown how they rank amongst National Preferred Partners in their industry, as well as the contact information for each David Weekley Homes team member who completed an evaluation for them.

The evaluation process involves a comprehensive system of feedback and discussion that enables David Weekley Homes to measure excellence among all established trade partners and their channel partners. Providers that receive the highest scores throughout the year are presented with the National Preferred Partners Award.

A total of 118 companies were evaluated this year and 20% percent achieved the designation of National Preferred Partner. Many companies that partner with David Weekley Homes have been recognized as a National Preferred Partner multiple times, including Zurn.

"We greatly appreciate our valued partnership with Zurn and are excited to congratulate them for once again being named a National Preferred Partner," Schiegg said. "They consistently provide high-quality products and incredible service, helping us delight our customers with their dream home."

In addition, McCoy's Building Supply is a first-time recipient of the National Preferred Partner award.
