are things that allow us to be successful.”
The hands-on approach taken by Barry
Homes has become a trademark of the busi-
ness since they began operations six years
ago. Acting as both the direct source for the
build, Barry understands that the stress is
part of the job, but he wouldn’t want it any
other way.
“Staying organized is the key,” he said.”When
other guys have way too many people run-
ning around, things get missed; mistakes
happen and there are too many problems.
That’s my core value, I’m there. I’m not in
Mexico while homes are being built. I’m in
Saskatoon; I’m living here every day on my
job site.”
Moving forward, Barry’s goals are modest:
maintain steady growth while staying small
enough to personally cater to clients and
staying big enough to control the focus on
quality and personalized service.
“I want to be the face of home building in
Saskatchewan rather than being categorized
as another quality builder,” he said. “Being
known for and categorized as the builder of
choice for the entire province. This is where
I hope to get to in the next two years, while
creating awareness and letting it be known
that it’s going to be tough to compete against
us for the quality we’re known for.”
