建设 season springs with Spring, Spring has sprung.
正式.
Well, maybe not “officially,” because this is Nebraska after all, we know we probably got one more totally inexplicable snow storm on the way.
但是，现在是春天.
这意味着春训, 春季运动会, 我们向前冲, our attention is finally turned to that growing list of Spring projects we’ve been thinking about since last year.
添加到甲板上. 安装室外照明. 修理或更换屋顶.
但, 除非你是罗恩·斯旺森, or married to Tim “the Tool Man” Taylor, 你可能需要一些帮助 from one of our nearly 300 member construction companies 让这些项目真正发光.
这个月, we’re featuring three 大奥马哈商会 members in the construction industry that have “built” (sorry…we couldn’t help ourselves) exemplary reputations in their respective fields.
Meet Sarah Cano from Rooforia外壳, 米勒电气公司的Craig Langfelt, 还有米勒德木材公司的里克·拉塞尔.
What makes you stand out in the construction market?
莎拉·卡诺: Our leadership team is comprised of people from all walks of life who bring with them diversity of thought and experiences. 在Rooforia外墙, our mission is to leave neighborhoods we work in better than we found them, which is why we created our ‘Raise the Roof’ program that provides free roofs to our community members who desperately need help.
克雷格Langfelt: 我们的员工. 米勒电气 has the best people who are committed to taking care of our customers. We focus on providing superior customer service that exceeds our customers’ expectations.
理查德·罗素: 我们的工作人员. They have such a deep expertise and broad knowledge base that they can help customers solve problems they don’t know they have yet. 我们的每一位客户都有一个梦想, our staff is very gifted at interpreting that dream and bringing it to life.
How long have you been in this industry?
卡诺: Rooforia opened its doors 7 years ago. 但 my husband, Jorge, brings over 20 years of experience working in the industry. Plus, he grew up helping in his grandfather’s construction business in Mexico.
Langfelt: 米勒电气 has been in the industry 109 years! I started as an intern my senior year in college 18 years ago and have never looked back.
拉塞尔: 米勒德木材 was founded in 1948 by my father. Back then, Millard was a little rural town. 但随着米勒德的成长，我们也在成长. Over the years, we improved our product selection and eventually expanded into Lincoln in 1987. We also have a cabinet division in Kansas City.
Why should a potential customer choose you?
卡诺: Our goal is to provide a higher level of service and results with our work so that our clients’ projects are a pleasure; not a pain. We have developed a proven process that exceeds our clients’ expectations and always aim to be easy to do business with.
Langfelt: They should choose 米勒电气 Company because of our expertise and reputation. We have been in business for 109 years and because of our attention to detail, extensive knowledge in all areas of electrical construction, 以及对客户的承诺.
拉塞尔: Whether it’s an Eagle Scout project or major commercial construction, our team loves to help bring dreams to life and support projects that enhance the livability of our community.
What value does membership in the Chamber bring to your business?
卡诺: 这改变了我的生活. One intro led to another and amazing opportunities were to follow. One of them was participating as a mentor protégé in the 达到项目 where I had the chance to be mentored by MCL 建设. It was real life experience I was hard pressed to find elsewhere.
Langfelt: It keeps us connected to the businesses in the community who are our customers. We enjoy communicating with other businesses so that we can learn and share ideas that make us all better and improve our community as a whole.
拉塞尔: Every day the Chamber is out there working to create a business-friendly environment 这样我们都能完成更多的工作. 它也是一个很棒的社交工具. They offer tons of good programs and information, while acting as a resource for all our business questions.
What would you say to someone who’s considering joining the Chamber but isn’t ready to make the final leap?
卡诺: The Omaha Chamber has shown leadership when it comes to programs that include businesses of all sizes. They recognize that the future of Omaha’s business community will be influenced by the disrupters, innovators and thought leaders from many diverse backgrounds.
Langfelt: We, 作为一个商业团体, need to work together to improve our local economy and support each other. This is done by creating networks and sharing information that the Omaha Chamber can facilitate.
拉塞尔: The real benefit of a Chamber membership comes through the participation in the programs. When COVID hit, the Chamber stepped up in so many ways. 他们支持我们 with employment advice, updates on regulations, really helped us make sense of it all.
