Q&A With Builders FirstSource Employees
Our employees are the core of our business. Every employee, whether at a lumber yard or window factory, works to help local and national homebuilders provide housing to American families. What does that mean to us? The products and services we provide become a vast array of quality housing options across the country. All homes, whether duplexes in a bustling subdivision or a custom cottage in the country, start the same way. Each one begins with a frame and studs. Personal touches are added through items like cabinets, windows, fixtures and doors. Builders FirstSource materials are there from the floor to the final nail in the shutters, building houses that turn into homes. Builders FirstSource locations feel like a small business, where every employee can make an impact. Each location has its own professional staff and specific operational goals, so while you have the resources of a national company, your actions could make a difference on a local level.
