And the championship goes to…you!
Discipline, aptitude and passion are of course indispensable for achieving feats of greatness, but with standards set so impossibly high, the only way to get a competitive edge can be found in one word: Coach.
Though “coach” tends to be a term more ubiquitously used in the athletic community, the world-class in every field is aware of what athletes have known all along; if maximum achievement is the goal, a wizard behind the curtain is an absolute necessity.
It is easy to look at this and with a confident “harumpf” say to yourself, “I’ve been in the industry for years. I’ve studied at the best schools. I’ve worked among the best people. I am talented and I know what I am doing.” Of this there can be no doubt. But consider the humbling words of performance coach, Steve Siebold:
“Average performers will only accept the amount of coaching their egos will allow. Champions are well-known for being the most open to world-class coaching. The bigger the champion, the more open minded they are. The great ones could care less about ego satisfaction when it comes to improving their results – all they’re looking for is an edge, no matter how slight.”
Time after time we’ve had clients come to us with folded arms in defiant stance wondering what in the world we could possibly offer them in the way of new information–that would prove invaluable. And each and every time they have left singing, or rather, enthusiastically shouting our praises.
“The ultimate source of information, and the whole world’s living wisdom, lies in the minds of others…all you have to do is ask.” -Walter Hailey
Mr. Hailey would certainly agree that just as a world-class athlete chooses a coach with scrutiny, so should you. There is a lot of misinformation passed along as fact; particularly in the building industry.
There is no other company better equipped to help you navigate the field of fine metal roofing and cladding. Here is why:
The advanced degrees in construction and engineering we hold were earned in some of the top schools in Germany. The particular information and skills we learned there are NOT taught anywhere in the New World. There are a number of reasons for this, but for the sake of brevity, understand you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone else this side of the Atlantic who holds this vital knowledge.
We are listed among Europe’s top fine metal roofing experts. We’re not special just because we’re from Europe, we were special even IN Europe.
We are among a handful of artisans board certified in restoration and reconstruction. This means we have spent the majority of our careers restoring some of the world’s most important works of architectural art, which, incidentally, only failed in the first place due to extremes such as fallen tree limbs or gunfire from the World Wars. In Germany, a restoration license is given exclusively as an honor. Through a review of credentials and a scrutiny of years of projects and an invitation by the arguably the world’s most demanding board of directors is this even possible.
We are licensed instructors and know how to teach.
We come from a culture of permanence. The prevailing mind-set in Germany is that products (of all varieties) should be of the utmost quality and highest engineering standards. All things are made to last. This is evident in everything from their centuries-old buildings to their latest automotive advances. Germany is synonymous with permanence because the culture has embraced this moral ideal. And yes, it is just that. We feel a moral obligation to the world to ensure each end-product is made with permanence and beauty so the client pays ONCE, the system works as represented and the environment never again is disturbed. Everyone involved can embrace the integrity and responsibility that is a residual effect from this paradigm.
So how is it we help you? If your “sport” is fine metal roofing-even just for one project-we are your coach. We can be as involved as you’d like us to be. From planning to implementation, we will have your solution.
We offer onsite educational seminars for builders and consultation services and presentations for planners. We travel the world and we make phone calls and send emails. Whatever you require to help make your project a success, we are there to fulfill.
During this time when the television sets of the world are tuned in to view athletic greatness, make the commitment to improve your game too. Give your business the edge to win in this competitive market. Invest in yourself to add a treasure trove of knowledge and skills no one else possesses. Be the hero and solve those difficult design problems.
The world needs you. You have environmental solutions to implement, obligations to meet, promises to keep and beauty to create. We guarantee we are that secret weapon you’ve been looking for and are thrilled to be a part of your glorious victory!
