Challenges for 2015

June 29, 2015

In a survey of private builders in 2015 Charlie Scott found 3 top challenges.

1.     

Employee turnover

2.     

Cycle time increasing

3.     

Trade partner shortage and performance issues

These challenges cannot be solved easily with one solution but rather with a range of integrated solutions. A range of quality tools and techniques can help uncover issues with employees and trades and allow an organization to address them in a proactive manner. The National Housing Quality Award provides a structure to assist in addressing such challenges.
