long time. We have a lot of good
long-term relationships with
subcontractors. We know the
players; we know who’s good,
and we know who’s a good fit.”
“Our success is really driven
by our subcontractors,” he
adds. “They are our shining
light. We’re here because have
a great core base of subs that
do great work. We have a great
cast of folks that our clients
love working with. They have
the right attitude, and the right
morals and values. That’s what
matters. That’s our great sep-
arator.”
Moving forward, Franklin aims
to continue building on those
great relationships with their
building partners – and as the
company grows, he wants
to find partners he can form
equally strong ties with. He
doesn’t have a projection for
how much the company will
grow, however, and he has no
desire to come up with a target.
“Instead, I have a desire to find
people who love construction,
and who love quality as much
as I do,” he says. “I want to bring
those people on board, and if
that allows us to take on larg-
er projects and grow the com-
pany, then that’s what we’ll do.
But if I can’t find those people,
I’mmore than happy to stay the
size we are.”
“The important thing is we
maintain our quality, and that
we live up to our client’s expec-
tations,” he concludes. “That’s
what matters to me. When peo-
ple say ‘Mark Turner Construc-
tions,’ I want to make sure that
have something positive to say.
I believe the rest will take care
of itself if we just stick to that.”
