The Construction Source

MAY 2021 The company also keeps on the same page with their subcontractors and suppliers. In a lot cases, Don and John had a hand in creating their business. Their plumber, for example, is one of their best friends – they helped him get started in the industry in 2008, and they have been working with him ever since. That kind of loyalty is not atypical. “We work with the same people all the time,” he says. “We know them, and they know us. They know our standards. If there’s a hiccup, they look after it. We don’t have to worry about it – we know that if there’s a problem, it’s going to be fixed.” Moving forward, Timber Haus wants to maintain those relationships, and they hope that as they grow their subcontractors will grow with them. And the company is growing – ever since Don and John built their first infill while working at Lincolnberg part time, the company has progressed rapidly, and not even the pandemic has slowed them down. As for the long term, Don says the vision is “to be determined.” “We’re going to put one foot in front of the other,” he concludes. “Right now, we’re definitely growing. We’re going to continue to grow at a sustainable rate. Eventually, we’d love to be in a couple different cities, but right now we’re taking it one step at a time.”
