Finetuning quality
“ I believe 2026 will be a strong year for Tourmaline,” Ben finalizes.“ We’ ve been growing very slowly and organically, and it looks set to continue that trajectory. Custom home building is certainly not slowing down- in our experience, the phone is still ringing, and people still want to build. Some of the projects we have in the pipeline are spectacular builds and we’ re very excited about them.
“ Looking further ahead, we want to continue growing incrementally. It’ s important that we’ re able to maintain the quality of our buildings, so I think in five years’ time we’ ll be slightly larger than now, but not excessively. We want to focus on finetuning the quality of our processes in an ever-changing world, ultimately making our organization stronger and the quality of our builds the best they can be.” ■
