“Maybe there are minor issues that happen onsite – everybody’s human, everybody makes mistakes – but our trades are always there to take care of it right away,” she adds. “They get it resolved instantly. That’s why we really like working with them, because we can trust them. I think that’s one of our competitive advantages – we have trades we can trust to do right by us and right by our clients.” Though they are very loyal to their trades, Agnes admits that sometimes they do need to bring on new partners. When that happens, she explains that they look for companies with longevity and professionalism: “We look for trades who have been in business for a while. We look for trades who don’t cut corners when they perform the work. And we look for trades who are easy to work with. Those are the kind of trades we stick with for a long time.” Moving forward, the vision for Alta Nota Custom Homes is to maintain their existing relationships with suppliers and subcontractors who tick those boxes, while also building new relationships as the company grows – and the company is definitely growing, Agnes says, as their shift to building multi-family means they are going to be building more residences than ever. “We’re going to still do a little bit of singlefamily custom home, but I think the majority of our business in the next few years will be developments like Gateway Gardens,” Agnes reiterates. “That means we need to grow. Most likely, we’re going to be a medium-sized company – I think that’s very manageable for us. At that size, I think we can help meet the needs of the market while maintaining the quality and professionalism we’re known for.” MAY 2024
