Benefits of Working with Quadrant Homes

Quadrant operates at the highest ethical standards, as illustrated by our reputation of being fair and honest. We're also committed to developing mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with our vendors, redefining the term "partner."

We're a leader in the industry when it comes to providing a safe work environment. We take safety very seriously- it's our top priority to make sure that every worker goes home safe and healthy at the end of every day. That's why we're the first builder in the nation to receive OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program Star status.

We build our houses on a centralized schedule, called a stringline schedule, over a 54-working day period. This allows us to ensure that our houses are completed on time and helps to eliminate production inefficiencies. The stringline tells you where you need to be and when, every single time, and you'll only get a call from a superintendent if something changes.

Quadrant builds at an even-flow rate, which allows our vendors to manage their resources effectively, giving them consistent volumes to manage and grow their business. You won't have to deal with seasonal changes, production spikes, or lack of work.

We pay our vendors weekly with our invoice-free auto-pay system. We send you a notification of an order, which you verify is consistent with our contract, and perform the work according to the stringline schedule. When the work is 100% complete, the superintendent will sign off on that work (weekly), and you are paid. The checks include a breakdown of what you are being paid for so you can manage your financials.

Consistency and predictability in our work leads to simple, efficient houses and processes. There are no unusual variations in house types or specification levels, no fancy architectural detailing or cathedral ceilings. Because we build consistently practical, efficient, affordable, and high-quality houses, that should mean quick learning curves for your crews, high productivity levels, readily available materials, minimal unsafe conditions, and fewer call-backs.
