When people ask me what I do as a homebuilder, I often compare my work to that of an orchestra conductor. My sheet music is the plans and codes/regulations and each supplier and sub-contractor is an instrument section. It is my responsibility to orchestrate all this so it is pleasing to the homeowner, just as if it were an orchestra playing a Bach concerto. This is a sizeable undertaking when you consider all the different systems, materials and trades which are involved in the construction of a home.

The satisfaction I receive in return for my efforts is largely what drives me in achieving my goal. Knowing I am able, in cooperation with all my suppliers and trades people, to build a home that will serve a family for many years provides me with an awesome feeling of accomplishment and pride. A home is much more than just a house. It is a place where a family will grow and develop and experience many life-defining events over the years.

How does one learn to be a builder? In large part, it is on-the-job experience that best teaches one how to be a builder. Developing trust and relationships with your clients, suppliers and trades people is the number one most important attribute of a builder.

Creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust is the foundation for long-lasting partnerships.

In the end, a builder has an enormous task of providing their client with the home of their dreams. When that task is complete, there is an enormous feeling of accomplishment and pride. A good builder will share and instill this feeling of accomplishment and pride with their suppliers and sub-contractors. After all, it is a team effort!

We are just coming off the 47th Nebraska Builders Home and Garden Show and it was a great success. Thanks to our wonderful staff who orchestrated the show and to all the exhibitors for your time and hard work.

The Chili Cook-Off is March 11 and the deadline for contracts for the Tour of Remodeled Homes is March 4. The Construction Career Fair is March 26 at SCC-Lincoln.

Happy Orchestrating!

Our calendar is full this year.

One professional development opportunity you don’t want to Kelli Fleek miss is our first 2019 Midday YBP President Meetup on Tuesday, March 5.

A new event to the YBP calendar this year is assisting with the Lighthouse Prom.
