You hear many homebuilders grumbling about a shortage of labor. Construction is hard work and it sometimes attracts workers who jump aboard just long enough to snag a big check and then suddenly go missing in action. The key to success in homebuilding is to attract dependable, long term employees. But to attract them, the builder also has to be dependable. Can he keep them working year 'round? To keep Keith White Custom Homes going and our employees and subcontractors busy all year around, we fill in between custom homes with spec homes. The combination is great because we can suspend work on spec homes at any time to devote more time to custom jobs. By doing both types of building we have year round work and can keep crews busy, and that makes the steady, family man type worker loyal to us. When the economy slows down we take on more custom work . When the market is hot we build more spec homes. Once again, it boils down to caring about your reputation and taking care of the people who work for you. For example, we have an master cabinet maker on staff year round. He even works with us in the planning stages which is wonderful. He works exclusively for us and we give him all our cabinet work. This is another way we assure that a client will never feel short changed. |
