Success Story #1
A construction company spread out over three states, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, whose desire is to provide a high-quality home to the affordable housing market. This builder's desire was to have consistencies throughout the company and to harness the buying power of all offices combined. Previously each office was purchasing materials from their local supply companies.
Solution:
We introduced the construction company to The Inter-Pak Advantage. We met and trained each of the construction superintendents on how this new system worked and how it would benefit them. We went on to help implement:
  • Samples to all offices of the standardized finish materials to be provided for each home.
  • A one page order form for ordering all finish materials need to complete the home.
  • A finish package specifications booklet was created for sub-contractors.
  • A once per month billing for all finish materials purchased, itemized by job.
Result:
Within three months it became apparent that all construction superintendents were on board with this new way of doing business. They were excited about the one time drop. All of the finish materials to complete the home were delivered at one time by placing only one call. All that was left to do was to manage the subs. The builder's finish construction phase dropped from 42 days to 10-12 days.
Success Story #2
A construction company in Portland, Oregon focused on building apartment complexes. The builder's desirewas to control his costs and to have consistencies in the finish materials so as to replace items as tenants move on.
Solution:
We introduced the construction company. We met with the owner of the company and explained to him how our company could control up to 50% of his project cost. We went on to help implement the following:
  • Standardized finish materials were selected by the builder.
  • A one page order form for ordering all finish materials needed to complete the home was reviewed and implemented.
  • A finish package specifications booklet was created for sub-contractors.
  • A once per month billing for all finish materials purchased, itemized by job.
Result:
By the end of the first project the builder was convinced that Inter-Pak was their supplier of choice. They were excited that the materials could be delivered in phases. All cabinets, doors and millwork were delivered for four units at once. All carpets were delivered directly into each unit for ease of installation. The materials were inventoried and confirmed to be in good condition at time of delivery. All that was left to do was to manage the subs. The builder was excited that his finish construction times were cut in half.
