“Beyond woodwork, they become friends, and they become a resource for each other - in times of need. That’s what the family relationship is. I believe that’s why people enjoy coming to work. That, and the fact of having the fun of working with wood.” Bryan adds that there are a number of reasons why he personally considers Homestead Woodworks a good place to work. One of the main reasons being, he sees the ownership “care for their employees in multiple ways.” “If you need time off for family, it’s granted to you without any questions asked. The value we place in family is very, very high.” Bryan also appreciates the team environment, and always being surrounded by interesting custom woodworking projects. “So I’d say it’s a well-rounded package.” Moving on to the company’s relationship with subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors, Bryan says, “It’s been really great. They really appreciate the punctuality of how we deliver our product, and the quality of what we produce. Also, they can rely on the schedule that we give them. There’s just a really good trust there. We’re blessed to have so many good suppliers, and I think that’s reciprocal with their feelings toward us. They also enjoy the teams that we can give them to do the work.” “As a salesman, it’s really nice to know that we have capable guys that are also going to be building your product. It’s one thing to sell it, but it’s another thing to follow through with what you’ve sold.” “Suppliers are extremely important to us to make us successful,” Clare points out. He says the company has solid, long-term relationships with suppliers, and one of the reasons is that they pay their bills on time. It’s not uncommon, he says, for suppliers to express appreciation for the longstanding relationship. “They really come on board when we have special requests, which allows us to service our customers better.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
