the summer, and-30 in the winter presents its
own challenges to the industry, but Theoret
tries to keep construction on the go for as many
days as comfortably possible, especially to en-
sure that completions are on schedule for cli-
ents waiting for their custom homes. Standard
projects have a general turnaround time within
4-5 months to keep up to the 10-15 homes per
year rate. Time and production management is
critical to that end. Theoret knows that if he
went over 15 homes per year that he would
not be able to manage and construction qual-
ity would suffer.
“The reason for that is my attention to detail
in all aspects of construction from the ground
up. If I wasn’t able to offer that to my clients,
I’d feel like I didn’t provide the best home and
service I could, so getting bigger is not my fore-
most goal. I gage my success on customer sat-
isfaction just to make sure that everybody’s
happy, and at the end of the day that helps
them to sleep at night, and it keeps me enjoy-
ing my work.”
