Joshua Correa Honored as 2020 Designee of the Year
The pinnacle for any type of recognition is when an annual or yearly recipient for an award is announced. How do you choose such a person when you have so many worthy candidates? Do you choose the person who has accomplished the most? Donated the most time or money to a worthy cause? What about the person who has made the most impact on the industry as a whole? What about their volunteer experience; should that be considered?
The Dallas Builders Association is no stranger to exemplary people within its organization of talented members. To choose one who stands out above them all is a daunting task.
Fortunately, when it comes to selecting the 2020 Designee of the Year, it was an easy choice. Joshua Correa, CSB, CGB, GMB, CAPS, CSP, CGR, with more than 26 years in the construction industry, has chosen to align himself with the Dallas Builders Association and the education it offers. He also encourages his entire staff to obtain designations and not just a single designation, but several for each of them. To have someone who excels in the real world continue to seek education to further their knowledge shows a sign of rare distinction.
This dedication combined with Correa’s vast building knowledge and specialized trade experience makes him an obvious candidate for this prestigious award.
Despite his full calendar, Josh makes time to give back. He is an active participant in the Association’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee and chairs the Education Committee. He has also chosen to give at the state and national levels. He commits his time to TAB’s Developers Council and Young Professionals Council and is a State Director. At NAHB, he serves on the Custom Home Builders Council, several subcommittees and is a National Delegate for the 2020-21 year.
Joshua Correa is the founder and owner of Divino Homes and Power Construction Group. Divino Homes is a master builder in some of the finest neighborhoods of Dallas. In collaboration with a team of experienced architects, engineers, designers and construction professionals, the company has established a reputation for outstanding architectural design and superior quality, evidenced by numerous awards and recognition for design and finish-out work. Power Construction Group specializes in commercial building and land development. Josh particularly enjoys creating a vision that this industry uniquely grants.
Divino Homes is always in search of new materials and new ways to innovate as a team. They seek out the best tradesmen and material suppliers who have the same vision and mission. Joshua prides himself in three core values: Integrity, Reliability and Accountability. They form the core values for all his companies. To ensure these core values Divino maintains a hands-on approach by constantly monitoring the quality of the work and reinforcing strict guidelines.
When not building luxurious homes or volunteering within the industry Joshua enjoys spending time with his family, traveling globally and devoting some much-needed time to meditating.
