Here are the 9 key stages to True Quality:
1. Controlled Volume
By controlling the number of homes we build on a daily, weekly, and
annual basis, we can deliver high quality homes on schedule. Limiting
production volume may not be viewed as best for the builder, but at
True Homes we believe it is best for those who matter most — our
customers.
2. Smart Flow
Building a home requires the scheduling of numerous processes,
contractors, and suppliers. Traditionally, these critical steps are not
done in an efficient or optimized manner. True Homes has developed a
smarter way to manage the process – and deliver significant savings to
our customers. We focus on a daily volume of business through the
entire building process. Each step in the process is critical and
managed daily. These daily disciplines range from processing blueprints
to delivering cabinets. This unique approach to homebuilding produces
increased productivity and decreased waste, which in turn equals a
superior value for our customers.
3. Centralized Scheduling
Can the scheduling practices of a builder affect the cost and quality
of the home? Absolutely! Many builders decentralize scheduling to
their field superintendents. This leads to inefficiencies for the
suppliers and contractors. In addition, it takes time away from the
superintendent’s duties. Ultimately, these inefficiencies lead to
higher costs and dissatisfaction. At True Home, we utilize a central
scheduling system that provides consistency to our suppliers and
contractors — and delivers a quality home to our customers.
4. Value Engineering
The first rule in reducing costs is reducing waste. On any given job
site, waste can exist in the form of labor and materials. Through
collaboration with contractors and suppliers, True Homes has worked
diligently to value engineer the home to optimize efficiency and
quality, while minimizing waste. This disciplined process leads to a
better home at a better price.
5. Low Cost Producer
True Homes is committed to controlling all building costs associated
with the home. This is achieved by creating low operating overhead, low
operating variances, high productivity and greater efficiency. The
benefit you get by choosing an efficient, low-cost builder is a home
that costs less — and is a better value.
6. Supply Chain Optimization
An additional benefit of Centralized Scheduling and Smart Flow is the
opportunity to optimize the process of home delivery. Just-in-time
delivery practices are utilized to decrease inventory and lower
delivery costs. In addition, by paying our vendors weekly, we are able
to receive early payment discounts and attract top suppliers at better
prices. Once again, by being smart we are decreasing costs while
increasing quality.
7. Built-In Quality
From the early stages of design to the final inspection, True Homes has
gone to great lengths to implement quality standards and practices.
This means building quality into the home throughout the process.
Several industries outside of homebuilding have utilized this
philosophy to significantly increase the final quality of their
products. True Homes has adopted these philosophies along with our
daily inspection processes, to create a system that ensures we build
quality and reliability into every home.
8. People and Products that Perform
True Homes is committed to only utilizing the top brand-name products,
selected to ensure quality and service. In addition, we believe the
individuals working on the home are as important as the products they
are installing. We go to extreme measures to ensure we team up with
quality contractors and suppliers who will get the job done right. Rest
assured, at True Homes you will have peace of mind, knowing your home
is being built by the best.
9. Shorter Cycle Time
As the saying goes, time is money. By taking advantage of Controlled
Volume, Smart Flow and Centralized Scheduling, we are able to
significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to build your home.
Our streamlined process to decrease costs leads to a superior home
value for you.
