They are able to meet those standards because of the strong relationships they have formed with their subcontractors. “We have very close relationships with our trades,” Adam says. “The majority I would consider personal friends. They are generally very easy to get along with. They are understanding. Whenever there’s an issue, we’re able to come together and have a conversation and resolve things quickly and efficiently.” “I would say they care,” he adds. “They’re not only good at their craft or their trade, but they care about the work they’re doing.” Adam and Jennifer also spend a lot of time on-site personally, which further helps with quality control. They trust and rely on their subcontractors, but Adam says there’s no substitute for seeing something with our own eyes. “Because we’re on site pretty much every day, we’re able to catch certain details,” he explains. “We’re able to see things that we might be able to do better. We’re able to identify elements that we envisioned slightly different than the sub- trades.” AUGUST 2021
