meet the most difficult schedule.”
The team regularly tackles difficult
projects Turner says. Some examples
of the challenges the team has han-
dled include 35-story apartment

The warehouse manager, for in-
stance, tracks and has tile ready in
the warehouse. “For deliveries we
use trucks that have an onboard fork-
lift. The drivers are also mathemati-
cians and will break down a
complete order and have placed ex-
actly where the project foreman
needs it.”
He says a quality control manager
walks the projects and reviews areas
of install weeks in advance while in-
stallers and finishers work to do
what it takes to meet every goal.
“Our project managers are on site
daily reviewing the schedule, details,
and resolving ongoing changes with
the project foreman. At the comple-
tion the quality control manager and
project foreman ensures the tile
work has met the GC and owner’s
needs.” Turner says this saying hangs in
the office. “Perfection is NOT attain-
able. But if we chase perfection we
can catch excellence.”
