“ We also work on spec homes , where we create a subdivision within a neighborhood consisting of anywhere between a few to 200 homes . These projects are particularly challenging , as we ’ re not working with a single client , but building a community for multiple families with different cultures and ways of living . We have to manage varying expectations , but my core team of six people always manage to keep everyone happy and finish the project with minimum tension .
“ Customer satisfaction is our number-one priority , but demands are generally becoming more challenging to deliver . Everyone has access to social media these days and people decide on designs or features they ’ ve seen online without considering the cost or required materials . We ’ re learning every day and our base of trustworthy suppliers and vendors – some of which we ’ ve worked with since our inception – help us to deliver solutions that satisfy our customers .”
As our conversation draws to a close , Kamran considers the direction of the business moving forwards . “ The future is difficult to pinpoint , as there have been several factors and changes in the market over the last few years that are out of our control ,” he says . “ My goal is to triple the size of the business over the next five years if the market allows , which would take our revenue above $ 50 million .”
On a more personal note , Kamran concludes : “ I hope that my son will join me in the business . I never pressured him to join me , but he has a natural passion for homebuilding and is enrolled to begin a construction management course at the Georgia Institute of Technology later this year . It ’ s too early to outline our succession plan – let ’ s see how he gets on over the next few years first !” ■
