"Our people are full apprenticing carpenters
or fully licensed journeymen carpenters that
have run the gamut of the entire construc-
tion and carpentry trade," he explained. "We
usually have five carpenters on staff. It fluc-
tuates depending on the season, but most of
our carpenters are long-term carpenters that
have been with the business for about five to
six years."
Delonix has also secured a core group of reli-
able and highly qualified subcontractors, in-
cluding plumbing, electrical and mechanical
contractors who have worked with the com-
pany for more than five years each. In choos-
ing subcontractors, Shannon indicated that
he's more concerned with qualifications and
reputation than he is with the cost of their
services.
"We work diligently and have a massive
amount of practice and research in getting a
strong network of sub-trades that go by all
the same standards that we do in terms of
quality and integrity,” he explained. “So we
have a very tight-knit group of guys that we
associate ourselves with and it has proven to
be absolutely invaluable to our success."
