Schumacher homes
Schumacher homes custom builder is a business that I haven't really heard much about. I looked online to find out more about them and I found that they really are a great valued company. Their motto is to combine custom with value which is something that you rarely hear about when dealing with a building company.
I worked for a building company over the summer that my aunt works for and it was actually a really fun environment to work in. Everyone was laid back and truly wanted the best for that client. What would happen was the client would call and they would set up a meeting and they would go over what the client was looking for and how they expected to use that room. Then the contractor would go to the site and check it out and take pictures. After that they would meet again and do pricing and quotes and go pick out everything and write up the blue prints. There is a huge blue print copier that I always used to copy the prints for the clients.
Over all it was a really great atmosphere because everyone had a different job and played a specific part in the making of a new room or the exterior of a home. One person would meet with the client and another person would draw up the prints and do the actual hard labor and another person would deal with pricing and quotes and yet another person would handle the decorating (my favorite part) and I got to do the paperwork and have the official signature meetings.
In the end though I learned a lot about working for a company and dealing with customers. This particular business really did have the client's interest at heart and taught me a lot about taking the time to get to know the client and what their likes and dislikes were to better help them make decisions. They didn't pressure the client into anything they didn't want to do and they made their companies name trustworthy with a great reputation. Although this line of work is probably not something that I am looking into getting in when I get out of college I have learned how to work with people and respect the clients and my fellow workers and that business isn't about scamming peoples and it can be successful with honest and caring workers.
