 Industry
experience relevant to the RTM Home Builder business has
been obtained from working in the Yorkton Saskatchewan area since
1983. Evolving with the industry and working on a smaller scale
provided the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of
all aspects of it.
The
ability to develop comprehensive industry-specific data management
software was the result of having had the chance
to work in both RTM Home Builder environments, first an independent
contractor RTM Builder and then as a retail Home Center integrated
RTM Builder.
The
ability to develop 'green', super energy efficient RTM production
resulted from a personal commitment to environmentally
friendly construction combined with the opportunity to be work with
Canadian researchers and developers of the R2000® Program.
As
advanced Canadian home building techniques evolved so too did
Enviro System™
by constantly incorporating, testing, and cost evaluating super
energy efficient building techniques in a competitive RTM Home production
and marketing environment.
