Carlsbad Home Builder Lays Off 23 Workers

On March 26 Carlsbad-based Barratt American Inc. laid off 23 employees, said Mick Pattinson, president and chief executive officer. The company now has an employee count of 62.

The layoffs covered workers in sales and construction, as well as management.

Some had already been on shortened work weeks of three to four days, Pattinson said.

A downturn in the new home market is partly to blame for the need to pare staff, he said. The homebuilder also had to halt work, including planning, engineering and preparation, on a 1,390-home project the company was planning for Fanita Ranch in Santee pending the outcome of a lawsuit filed under the California Environmental Quality Act.
