Magleby Construction forms new commercial division
Industry stand-out Greg Fix tapped to lead Magleby Commercial

LINDON, Utah—January 16, 2012—Magleby Construction, Utah's premier custom homebuilder, announces the immediate creation of a new commercial division and the appointment of Greg Fix as vice president in charge of its operation.

Company president Chad Magleby says the new division will initially focus on small to mid-sized projects and provide commercial clients with the enjoyable, personalized building experience his company is known for.

"Magleby is a professional organization that stands for integrity, a pursuit of excellence, and a better built product," said Magleby. "We're excited and fortunate to have a leader like Greg Fix—a person who embodies these ideals—guiding our new division."

Fix, who has more than seventeen years of experience in the industry, recently left Big-D Construction where he was a vice president to join Magleby. At Big-D, Fix was responsible for the creation and development of the company's highly successful Utah County division in Lindon.

"I had a fantastic experience at Big-D. It's a great company, which made the decision to leave very difficult," said Fix. "But partnering with Magleby to grow its commercial division was an opportunity I couldn't pass up—the chance to work with such a respected builder and to be entrepreneurial again was just too appealing."

In addition to building award-winning custom homes and remodels, Magleby Construction has completed various high-profile commercial projects over the years, including Thanksgiving Point's main complex and tower in Lehi, and the recently finished clubhouse of the Riverside Country Club in Provo.

The formation of a division that focuses exclusively on commercial projects is the next logical step in Magleby's future, says Paul Magleby, who founded the company 38 years ago.

"This is a natural progression for us," said Magleby who is Chairman of the Board. "Having a true professional like Greg join us is a tremendous advantage. We expect that his expertise, combined with our experience and supporting systems, will make us more competitive than ever in the commercial marketplace."

For his part, Fix is excited for the chance to cultivate the culture of Magleby Commercial and put his stamp of success on the new venture.

"The entire commercial team is fully committed to being more agile, responsive and innovative in ways that will directly benefit our clients," he said. Potential clients interested in learning more about Magleby Construction's new division or other services can call (801) 785-9998 or visit MaglebyConstruction.com.

 

Founded in 1974, Magleby Construction quickly developed a reputation for being Utah's premier custom homebuilder. Built on principles of professionalism, the company consists of seven divisions, each working to provide clients with the finest results: Estate Homes, Commercial, Remodeling, Artisan Doors, Cabinetry & Millwork, and Excavation. In 2007, the National Association of Home Builders named Magleby the country's first National Custom Home Builder of the Year.
