The importance of leadership

Article Abstract:

Quality is becoming more and more important in the homebuilding industry, with builders demanding more of suppliers, who can now deliver more. The 'Professional Builder and Remodeler' consumer survey for 1993 reveals that consumers are prepared to pay more for quality amenities with 62% of consumers willing to pay between $1-2,000 more for zoned heating. Smart customers do not take quality claims seriously, with 77.1% making an inspection for themselves, 67.5% requiring a warranty, and 52. 8% comparing with other houses. The importance of quality of engineering, teamwork and customer needs in the building industry is also discussed.
