7. Competitive - Proof Points
GRINDER HAIZLIP
Grinder Haizlip's philosophy is simple: Do quality work (which means doing the right
things) on time and within a client's budget. The firm owners believe in building projects for
clients for the long run, earning trust and developing relationships that can endure multiple
projects... Staying close to the sub-contractors and the general construction community has
benefited all parties working to complete jobs on time and under budget.
"The process was efficient, the cost was on target and the company was great to work with. I
will use them again.” Bob Berkhiemer Sunrise Hummer,Owner
And when the best isn't an option... but a necessity. It takes more than just quality materials
and building skill. It requires the experience and savvy to bid on target, negotiate smart
prices, deal profitably with changing weather, earn the trust and cooperation of labor, and
deliver... on time. Our safety record is unsurpassed in the industry. That's not a bragging
point, it's a profit point. Our employees are required to have a minimum of ten hours of
OSHA safety training. This benefits our clients, our company and our employees. Grinder
Haizlip maintains a modification rate of less than "1".
