This semi-annual meeting of the very first Builders 20 group, formed in 1994 and facilitated by the National Association of Home Builders, is a networking and professional growth support group for non-competing builders from across the country to share information and ideas.  It brought together builders from Florida, California, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Idaho and Montana.  They had not met in Saratoga Springs in more than a decade.

Part of the session included a house tour starting with Palazzo Riggi on North Broadway; 10 different homes in the Saratoga area; one under construction and nine nearly completed homes in the Park Alley, Old Stone Ridge and Saratoga Farm neighborhoods; Bill Parcell’s home and ending at the condominiums at Excelsior Park – all built by Witt Construction.  They also toured Witt’s 2011 multi-award winning Saratoga Showcase Home on Brown Road.
