How we reward good work

Performance is rewarded

We run a performance-based incentive system designed to reward crews for completing work efficiently without sacrificing quality.

Each job has a clear timeframe and expectations before the crew starts. When the job is completed within that timeframe and meets our quality standards, eligible team members can earn an additional performance bonus.

Efficiency

Planning the job properly and using the allocated time well.

Quality

Finishing the frame properly, not rushing through defects.

Responsibility

Taking ownership of the work and fixing problems before they become someone else's problem.

As people develop into leading hand and crew leader roles, the level of responsibility — and the opportunity to earn more through performance — increases with them.

The objective is simple: when the company performs well because the crew performs well, the people doing the work should benefit from it.
