Tom Bradbury sold Colony Homes to KB Home in March 2003. Colony Homes was one of the most successful home builders in the Atlanta area, in large part due to the company’s integrated software program and comprehensive documentation of over 200 key business processes. This program was developed “in house” due to Colony’s need for a better system than the market could offer.

After the sale of Colony, Mr. Bradbury retained rights to his innovative software and process model technologies. He joined forces with Doug Coons – a former Partner with Accenture, the world’s largest consulting firm –they formed SMART Builder Solutions to bring this superior system to fellow home builders.
