Matt Millman Awarded 2026 Superintendent of the Year by the Homebuilders Association of Delaware

About the Award

The Regal Awards, presented annually by the Home Builders Association of Delaware, recognize the top talent in Delaware’s building industry. The Superintendent of the Year award honors an individual who demonstrates exceptional field leadership, technical expertise, and the ability to deliver complex projects on time and within budget. In 2026, Marnie Custom Homes swept all major ‘Of the Year’ categories, earning 16 total awards, the most in company history.

The Honoree

Matt Millman, Project Manager at Marnie Custom Homes, was named Superintendent of the Year at the 2026 Regal Awards, a recognition that reflects five years of extraordinary growth and an unmatched combination of technical depth and field leadership. A graduate of Washington College with a BA in Environmental Studies, Matt began his career as a geotechnical project manager, giving him rare expertise in evaluating subsurface conditions and anticipating construction challenges before they arise. Since joining MCH in 2021, Matt has built ten custom homes, including three oceanfront homes totaling over 46,000 square feet.

Matt was personally selected by Marnie Oursler to build her own family home, a decision that speaks to the extraordinary trust he has earned.

“When it came time to build my own family’s home, it was an easy choice for me. Matt brings a rare combination of technical brilliance and genuine heart to every build. He doesn’t just manage construction, he takes care of people and their dreams.”  —Marnie Oursler, President & Owner, Marnie Custom Homes

One of his notable achievements is completing MCH’s most ambitious build: a 6,200-square-foot waterfront home with a putting green, sauna, pickleball court, custom pool, and pool house.

“In all the time we worked together, we never saw Matt without a smile on his face — and when we texted him open items on our punch list, he responded moments later: ‘they are already fixed.’ Our house was delivered in 10 months, and there aren’t words strong enough to describe how much we would recommend Matt Millman.” – Maida Johnson— Oceanfront homeowner, Middlesex Beach

His technical background, innovative thinking, and deep commitment to his clients and team make him one of the most trusted builders on Delaware’s coast.
