Benchmark Developers & Cachet Homes
Partners in Building Success
by Deborah A. Chesley

The Partners
Mark Rasch, President of Benchmark Developers, has a wealth of expertise in land development, site supervision, and quality control. Mary Bendel, President of Cachet Homes, prefers to focus her creative energy and strong accounting background to design and coordinate the building of quality homes with lasting value. Together, Mark and Mary have well over 20 years' experience in real estate and you can readily see that a partnership of the two is a natural. They can now focus on what they do best. The result is a win-win situation: a better home for every client, and a more successful business for Mark and Mary.

Construction manager Jim Hulsey is also an important part of the Benchmark-Cachet team. Having been a finish trim carpenter for many years, Jim has a great eye for detail and considerable experience to draw on. Jim is on the job everyday-coordinating fieldwork, communicating with subcontractors, supervising employees, and seeing that each home is built to the high standards of quality and value that Benchmark and Cachet are known.

Benchmark and Cachet have their roots in Kirkwood and they enjoy building in their "hometown". However, they also build in all of the prime St. Louis County neighborhoods including Clayton, Crestwood, Des Peres, Frontenac, Glendale, Sunset Hills, Town and Country, University City, and Webster Groves. They build in virtually all St. Louis areas, and offer a full range of development and construction services on customer owned home sites.

Whether planning intimate custom home neighborhoods or developing single sites, Mark Rasch is constantly searching St. Louis County to find the most desirable new home sites. In partnership with Cachet, Benchmark specializes in building new custom homes on sites in established St. Louis neighborhoods.
