Core Values

Integrity

We believe Integrity is a virtue that should never be compromised.

We define Integrity as the consistent alignment of words, actions, and moral convictions, especially when no one is looking. At Booras Builders, we strive to have Integrity at the core of our character, which is why we list it as our first Core Value. 

In construction, there is a lot that is hidden behind a surface: foundation footings will be buried and rebar will be encased; wall cavities will be concealed; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will be shielded from sight. These details that most people will never see, we see as matters of Integrity. While much in construction is covered up, at Booras Builders, we know that there is nothing hidden from God. We seek to honor God with our work, how we build, and how we conduct ourselves. We are not perfect, but we strive to build with Integrity.

Craftsmanship

“Is this your personal home?” After having been asked this by multiple building inspectors across multiple homes, we couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you ask that? The answer was, “It seems like you are building it for yourself. It just seems like you care about everything.”

Intentional Craftsmanship tends to stand out. When a combination of skill, advanced knowledge, forethought, and diligence are woven together the results tend to just seem different. In the early years, Booras Builders self-performed every trade as a means of quality control and striving to build with intentional Craftsmanship; it is a lot easier to ensure all of the details are done exactly as you want when you are the one performing them. As Booras Builders has been blessed with growth over the years, our approach to quality control adjusted while our tolerance has not. We still self-perform numerous aspects of construction for each house and have employees that are skilled at each trade, while no longer self-performing all aspects. Internally, we have developed our own advanced specifications that we require to be adhered to for each aspect of construction. During the estimating and preconstruction phase, we generate project specific specifications and thorough internal checklists that are customized to each trade for each specific project. These specifications internally are utilized to develop our trade specific Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) program that we manage and verify before moving on from one trade to the next in construction. Throughout the construction industry, many general contractors or builders rely on their subcontractors to describe how they will do their work. While not undervaluing a subcontractor, this is not how Booras Builders operates. We describe, define, outline, specify, require, and verify the project’s specifications we develop for each trade. We always value any tradesmen’s ideas and experiences, but we also are intentional in the level of Craftsmanship that your project will receive by adhering to our own internal requirements.

Additionally, Booras Builders has its own custom woodworking shop. The custom homes we build often have some level of woodworking based on a client’s desires or style. We have the ability to help make your home feel a little extra yours.

Whether it is the product of our own tradesmen, the requirements that we specify and manage, or various custom features in your home that are important to you, Booras Builders strives to build each house with intentional & conscientious Craftsmanship.

Value

For many people, their house is their largest financial investment. We approach each project as though you are hoping and entrusting that we will be a wise steward with your investment.

Value has many different facets. Ultimately, we strive to enhance the Value of your investment in numerous ways. We seek to not be wasteful. We seek to be efficient with time and resources. We seek to not cut corners — unless it’s on purpose, in which case we prefer to lock-miter our corners! We do not build with inferior products that have reduced lifespans. We do not skimp on energy efficiency aspects that help you save money over the life of your house; while also properly advising when certain energy efficiencies take centuries to recover their cost.

Booras Builders has a strong internal emphasis on trying to bring you value. We do not judge an individual for where they choose or don’t chose to spend their hard-earned money. We seek to bring you the highest value we can, since you are entrusting us to steward a large financial investment of yours.
