New experiences
One feature from the company ’ s most recent Home-A-Rama entry that stands out to Doug is its so-called Napa room – a basement with a barrel-vaulted , rounded ceiling . A long table that seats up to 14 creates endless hosting opportunities .
“ It ’ s the perfect spot for Thanksgiving ,” he reflects . “ We put in an interactive bar , too , which basically functions as a kitchen . So , it ’ s perfect : people can come down , heat up food , grab a drink , and entertain the night away .”
When the Home-A-Rama came around , Doug chose the basement as his station . “ People loved it ,” he tells us , “ and they all said they ’ d never seen anything quite like it before . It ’ s one of the times when you just think : that ’ s why I do this job . It was something we were all very proud to complete .” We ’ ve covered a lot , and we ’ ve caught up with how Sigma is doing now . But what about its future ?
Dave takes this one . “ In terms of our size and volume , I think things will stay fairly consistent over the next few years ,” he admits . “ As with most businesses , plateaus are inevitable at some point . We have the right people in the right seats , and we ’ re just in a really good place right now .
“ So , being able to maintain that volume is key . That ’ s not to say that if the right opportunity presents itself , we won ’ t jump on it and execute it .
“ But we feel that 20-to-25 homes a year feels really , really good to us ; we have the right people that can execute on that level , and we ’ re continuing to refine our procedures from point-of-sale through construction .
“ Looking further ahead , we ’ re on a mission to create a new experience in custom home building ,” he concludes . “ We ’ re about inner interaction and communication , as well as humility – we want to keep learning new ways to refine our operations and cultivate the best experience possible .” ■
