Why the Alair Homes is a Top Builder & Renovator in the Industry
What makes us different and better than the other builders or home renovators out there? I’ve thought hard about this question and have put a lot of consideration into why I believe we are the best. And one of the major factors is the Alair Homes system and the way we carefully allow only the best industry professionals to join our team as owners.
First, let’s put this in perspective. According to statistics published by Metro Vancouver, there are 95,000 people employed in the construction industry. In 2012 there were 3,381 detached houses built in Metro Vancouver, with an estimated 9 times that many renovations. When you consider that most builders or renovation companies directly employ on average 3 people, and subcontract to other small specialty trades, it becomes clear that the home construction and renovation industry is very fragmented with thousands of businesses providing those services.
With so many companies and so many different people running them with varied backgrounds, performance levels, consistency, and trustworthiness the quality you will potentially receive drastically varies from good to really bad. How do you choose? TV shows exemplify the problem with shows like Renovation Rescue and Holmes on Homes. It really is a dilemma, and trying to choose the right contractor can be daunting.
Owning an Alair Homes Requires a Peerless Standard of Excellence
Not just anyone with a cheque can buy an Alair Homes. We perform a multi month screening process during which we confirm a candidate’s abilities and track record. But most importantly we evaluate their integrity, honesty, and their unstoppable drive to be the BEST construction contractor and home builder.
Like Re/Max (see the book “Everybody Wins: The Story and Lessons Behind Re/Max), Alair Homes has grasped a new concept on how to attract and empower the best top performers in our business through an ownership model. This allows the best and brightest to join a large and fast growing brand, and receive the recognition and financial rewards of being a recognized brand, which are far greater than being an independent. The best and brightest know that having the systems and processes for Best in Class methods for winning clients, delivering excellent service and quality, as well as having the administration and accounting professionally serviced by corporate means more business, happier clients, more profits, and a construction business they own that has its own equity for their future.
The Alair Homes system delivers structure and Best Practices consistently to our clients and partners. Clients always know they will get high quality homes and service from Alair Homes. Alair Homes also attracts the best people in our industry to work with us. It’s a movement that delivers The Alair Homes Difference!l
