for. We want to keep raising the bar. We want to be building multimillion dollar homes. Those aren’t super common around here, but there are people up here building them, and we want to work with those people. That’s our goal. Those are the projects where we can really show what we’re capable of.” In their quest to do bigger projects, however, Richie says they don’t want to veer away from doing single-family homes. He says the temptation for a lot of companies like theirs is to get into multi-unit projects. He says “maybe someday” Nauss Homes will consider that, but for now they want to stay focused on building “custom quality homes.” “We want to work with clients who appreciate quality, and we want to give those clients a quality experience,” Richie says. Lastly, Richie projects that Nauss Homes will continue to grow alongside the scale of their projects, but he says the company will never grow to the point of compromising their personal service. “We never want to grow to the point where we lose what sets us apart,” he concludes. “I personally want to be able to attend each site each day and speak to each client each day. If we ever grow to the point where I feel I can’t do that, then that’s probably as far as we’re going to go. Right now I feel like I can double what we’re doing now and still be able to provide that service, but I think that’s probably where we’ll draw the line.” FEBRUARY 2024
