We’re not piling them on top of each other. We want them to feel comfortable so that they can do their best work as efficiently as possible. Their safety always comes first.” “We make sure they have what they need to be successful,” he says. “Because when they’re successful, we’re successful. And because when you go the extra mile for them, they’ll go the extra mile for you. Those are the kind of relationships we have and continue to foster.” Richard describes those trade relationships as the “backbone” of Edge Construction’s business. At the same time, he says the company’s other relationships are just as strong and just as important. “We work closely with architects,” he says. “We relate strongly to them. We complement and champion their visions. We make sure that what we deliver achieves all their objectives.” “Consultants, too,” says Jaime. “We engage them at the right time to ensure the project benefits from their expertise.” “We also work closely with lenders,” he adds. “We give them confidence that they’re working with a quality builder that will perform within the time frames expected.” “It’s kind of like an orchestra,” says Richard. “It starts with the architect writing a beautiful piece of music. In some ways we are the conductor. All the different trades, suppliers, and consultants are like the players in the orchestra who come together to make the music a reality.” THE CONSTRUC T I ON SOURCE CANADA
