him and said ‘Sorry, what’s your name?’ He goes, ‘I’ve been working for you for two years. You don’t know my name?’ I said, ‘That won’t happen here.’ And we’re very happy that we brought him on.” “We care about our team members,” Steve adds. “We truly appreciate what they do on a daily basis. I think we definitely have a good culture, I would say that’s a premier thing for me.” Steve describes his relationships with subcontractors and suppliers as similarly close. On the subcontractor side, he says they are always referred to as “trade partners.” He says those partnerships are important, as they don’t employ a large team in-house, so they make sure they go out of their way to recognize them when they do a good job. “When a job goes right, and you get it done on time, everyone normally just kind of moves on,” he explains. “Everyone moves on to the next project. What we’re trying to do, and what we’ve done in the last few years, is take the time to thank the trades after a successful projects. We give credit where credit’s due. I think doing things like that really helps build relationships and keeps them strong.” One example of a trusted trade partner would be Empire Mechanical Contractors, based out of Sherwood Park, Alberta. They have been proudly providing professional mechanical contracting services to the province for over many years, and over time have developed a full service offering that includes: sanitary services; process piping; hydronic heating; gas fitting services; HVAC services; controls and building management; geothermal services; plumbing services; kitchens and laboratories; and fire protection. Tri-Tec has long relied on them for their versatility, reliability, and the consistency of their quality. DECEMBER 2024
