Bryan Phillips - President - Alair Homes -Houston

As a custom home builder with 25 years of experience, I know what I don’t know. That’s where Dave comes in. My company’s work with Dave Yelovich is allowing me to run the business side of a custom home building and remodeling company, while knowing my new (and even my experienced) Project Managers are getting the invaluable construction training they need to improve both their careers and our clients’ experience.

Lowell Pinnock – Division President – America’s Home Place

I’ve had the privilege of learning from Dave Yelovich in both classroom and field settings, and his depth of knowledge in building science is matched only by his ability to make complex topics clear and actionable. Whether he’s diagnosing challenging performance issues, reviewing construction plans, or leading hands-on training sessions, Dave brings a rare combination of technical expertise and real-world experience. He approaches every project with his signature mindset: ‘Everything is wrong until proven right.’ That commitment to inspecting what you expect, fully understanding the little things, and doing things the right way sets him apart—and ensures every client or student walks away smarter and better equipped.

Troy Robinson - VP of Construction - First America Homes

Dave’s passion for all things homebuilding is contagious! Dave understands the science behind why we build homes the way we do and leads the innovation to improve our homes from every angle. Not only did Dave lead our Quality Assurance Team, but he also oversaw Training & Development for our staff from top to bottom. Dave is a wealth of knowledge and never stops learning. Dave is an instrumental leader and resource to our construction team in an ever changing building environment.

Aimee Bertrand – Executive VP and CEO - Greater Houston Builders Association

Dave Yelovich has been an outstanding volunteer and instructor for the Greater Houston Builders Association for decades. He gives of his time and expertise to help grow the homebuilding community. His insight on code-related issues and leadership as a member of the Texas Board of Plumbing Examiners has moved the needle for practical solutions to complex issues facing the industry.

Cody Gerald – Area Construction Manager – First America Homes

Dave Yelovich is a wealth of knowledge that was instrumental in my development of residential construction practices. From basic understanding of material installation to the complexities of the building science behind the materials used - Dave Y was able to pass the knowledge along. He made me think of the "why and how" every time I stepped on site. Dave knows the good, bad, and the ugly of residential construction but only teaches the good. Once you have learned "the good" you are easily able to pinpoint "the bad" once you come across it. Homes Built Right is the best investment for educational purposes for all levels from rudimentary to intricate learning.

Sean Story – Construction Supervisor – Precision Homes

I have known Dave for a little over 2 years now through working at “XYZ Builders” where he was the Director of Quality Assurance and Training. He built up our in-house inspections with his vast knowledge and experience in the home building industry. These inspections were incredibly thorough and helped us eliminate many mistakes and potential problems down the line. He would also teach 4-hour classes for us builders on a monthly basis on how to improve our skills, grow our knowledge, and develop our eye for detail. Looking back I am very grateful to have worked alongside him and for the knowledge I gained through him.

Now I work for a custom builder and to this day I still reach out for advice on problems that I encounter in the field, which he has always has an answer for.

Dave now teaches classes at the local builders association where I regularly attend classes because of the knowledge I gain from them and would highly recommend any who wants to learn to go to these classes. Whether you have 20 plus years in the industry or are just starting out, you definitely have something to gain by attending and working with Dave!

Kourtney Keller – Education and Workforce Outreach Specialist - Greater Houston Builders Association

Dave has been phenomenal to work with for education needs for the Greater Houston Builders Association. He's not only knowledgeable about multiple aspects of the home building industry, but he is extremely personable as well. Attendees leave his class with a plethora of information to take back and use in their professional careers. If you need an instructor for the residential home building process, Dave is your man!
