What is the most challenging part of doing business every day?
Right now the most challenging part of doing business every day
is the availability and increasing prices of materials. We understand
that the economy is not the best and we need to be able to purchase
and receive materials promptly and at competitive prices to meet our
customers’ expectations.
How do you achieve a healthy work-life balance?
Work hard while at work and simply enjoy your life after work with
the family. As a family-owned business it is important to dedicate
time to your family.
What led you to own your own business?
Coming from a family that always had our own business it was just
a matter of finding the business that fitted me. Been a civil engineer
and a general contractor, it was just a matter of doing what came
natural to me. I have always enjoyed creating and serving our community.
Making our customers smile is our logo and it is exactly what
we try to do every day.

and deployment of intelligent systems, where
man and machine interface and applications are
designed to optimize the performance of each by

What is the most challenging part of doing business every day?
The most challenging part of doing business each day is learning
how to say no to every opportunity that comes over without being
dismissive. This is very important because you never know who will
bring the next great opportunity. The way I approach this issue is to
listen attentively. Evaluate the terms, conditions, means, methods
and modalities of the opportunity and to state the reasoning behind
why the opportunity may not be for me. Make it an educational moment
in time, funding, ROI, governance, etc.
How do you achieve a healthy work-life balance?
Make the job fun, inclusive and understood at home. Build in
recreation, travel and intelligent growth. Bring the family along when
possible and leave the job at the office when possible.
What led you to own your own business?
Thinking that I consistently had great ideas and the discipline to
follow them through.
