Sacramento, CA - April 6, 2001 -- Doyle Heaton, President of Delco Builders and
Developers in Concord, California will be inducted into the California Building Industry
Hall of Fame this July. “The Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding individuals in the
building and construction industries who have made exceptional contributions of
service and leadership to their communities and to the industry,” says CBIF Chairman
Mick Pattinson, of Barratt American, Inc. in Carlsbad, California.

Having grown up in the building industry under the tutelage of his builder-father, Doyle
received his BA and BS degree in Building and Real Estate at the University of Denver,
following up with graduate work in real estate at the University of California at Berkeley.
In 1965, he was recruited to California by Ken Hofmann, spending the next four years as
a Hofmann Company project manager, estimator and assistant. He founded Delco
Builders and Developers in 1977, carving out a lucrative niche as one of the region’s
most accomplished sponsors of urban infill housing.

Doyle is highly regarded in the industry as one of the very best at recognizing land values
and acquiring land. In addition to his developments, Doyle is also noted for “regionalizing”
several Bay Area-based local home builders associations, helping to form the Building
Industry Association of Northern California in 1974.

The California Building Industry Foundation will induct Mr. Heaton into the Hall of Fame at
a gala dinner on Tuesday, July 24, 2001, at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
The Hall of Fame Dinner is a fundraiser for CBIF’s scholarship program, which has more
than $1.8 million in scholarship and research endowments. Scholarship funds in excess
of $600,000 have been disbursed to students at more than 60 colleges and universities.
CBIF’s Research Endowment has financed studies on construction dispute resolution,
growth control and affordable housing.

The Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of housing and construction in
California, improving education and advancing public awareness of industry issues. The
home building industry in California employs more than a half-million workers, contributes
$22 billion annually to the state’s economy, and generates another $32 billion in indirect expenditures in California each year.
