are we ? What are we doing ? What are our considerations ? How do we manage ourselves ? Our motto is ‘ quality that you can depend on ,’ so naturally , dependability came first , and it outlines how we deal with each other , our customers , and even trade contractors . We all agreed that we are people who can be relied upon .
“ Integrity speaks to our trustworthiness . In our line of work , there ’ s plenty of opportunity to cut corners , but that ’ s not who we are . That kind of ties in with quality as well , and although most builders preach it as their highest order , not everyone practices it to the same extent that we do . Personally , it comes from my roots in carpentry and cabinet building , as there ’ s a certain qualitative element to those trades that you don ’ t see quite so regularly elsewhere .
“ Teachability is a key attribute in my eye ,” Casey concludes , “ because we haven ’ t got it all figured out , and probably never will . But the point is , everyone is here to learn from one another . We invest in classes for the team , attend the International Builders ’ Show every year , and really encourage people to continue educating themselves . This has a knock-on effect on the pride that everyone takes in their work . They should all be able to stand up for what they ’ ve created and feel a purpose in the ways that we execute our projects .
“ Finally , there ’ s attitude . You ’ re a lot more likely to turn whatever ’ s handed to you into a positive outcome , when you ’ ve got the right perspective . We do that for one another when times are hard , it ’ s all part of being a team . We get through the tough parts together , and come out stronger on the other side .” ■
