Benchmark Custom Homebuilders

About the business:

BenchMark Homes got its start in 1993, through a disaster that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Mark Rasch, a young Kirkwood businessman and busy realtor/landlord, was working with another builder to complete his own new home. When the builder suddenly left town, stranding his customers with unfinished work, Mark convinced his banker that he could finish the home himself. He went to work, asking questions and doing research to learn all that he could about the home-building business- and in the process, he discovered that he loved the work, and was good at it. He successfully completed his home, and decided to take a detour in his life's plans, with the founding of a new home-building company.
