Read almost any business or industry-related magazine today, and you’ll find one constant theme: collaboration is key to success in any modern company. This also holds true for most industry or service sectors not related to design and construction. In fact, the cornerstone of the cultural changes at Walton Construction Company has been our mantra of being easy to work with and customer focused based on the guiding principles of the book "Good to Great" written by Jim Collins.
We spend considerable resources on providing our employees everything they need—from software to training to career-path instruction—to exceed customer expectations internally and externally. Our “One Team Walton” pins are more than symbolic; they speak to our commitment to acting as a single entity with owner/clients and design and engineering partners, proactively seeking solutions to facilitate needs that add real value to the finished project.
As we wear our “One Team Walton” pins each day, we continually ask ourselves what that statement really means to our individual roles in delivering a successful construction project to owners who hire us, designers who recommend us, or subcontractors and suppliers who walk side by side with us on our projects. At Walton, we strive to communicate, collaborate, build trust and integrity, make relationships successful for all involved, and, above all, take responsibility for our roles in the value chain of project delivery.
