developing?’” Jaime says. “We want to make sure we’re setting our own course; steering the ship purposefully. We don’t just want the wind to take us where it takes us.” “In terms of the multi-family sector, we’re on the right track,” he says. “We want to have sixto-10multi-familyprojectsgoing at any one time, depending on the size and location of the projects. We love when those projects leverage our talent and help us grow.” “On the commercial side of things, again, we think we’re heading in the right direction,” he adds. “We want to have between six and eight of those projects going at any given time. We also want to pursue some larger spaces. It’s going to take a lot of work to get there, and we’re very conscious of that, but we’re excited to put that work in.” As for the size of the company, Jaime says they will only grow as fast as their team allows them. They are very selective in their hiring practices, so that when a new member joins the team, they are a good fit for today and for the company’s long-term vision. “We aren’t the type of company that wants to grow and shrink and grow and shrink,” Richard explains. “We’re a quality-overquantity company. That’s our construction philosophy. That’s how we organize and run the business.” “We aren’t the company who will chase growth at the risk of compromising our reputation,” Jaime adds. “We like to look at things from the perspective that we’re only as good as the last building we built. We stand behind every building we’ve delivered.” “No matter what sector we’re working, we really just want to build projects that we can look back on and be proud of,” Jaime concludes. “We want to be able to say ‘We were part of the team that built that. It was a successful project for everyone.’” OCTOBER 2021
