Plywood Supply's Guy

Paradigm met with Mark Beadnell of Plywood Supply on Saturday. We have worked with Mark and Plywood Supply on numerous projects. They have exceptional service from getting pricing to preparing material packages and delivery with boom truck options. They are a wholesale building materials distributor out of Kenmore Washington and have been in business since 1953. Our relationship with them has helped us deliver exceptional service to our customers. They really care, going above and beyond to make sure a project gets the lumber it needs. For example, we were putting a new roof on a building in Green Lake, Truss’s and all. Plywood Supply’s boom crane operator had to maneuver safely around power lines with patience and precision. It took time to get the heavy truss’s we needed in the places we needed them. We succeeded and the project moved along efficiently because Plywood Supply cared, making sure they helped in whatever way they could regardless of the time it took . Mark Beadnell is another example of going above and beyond. He met us for lunch and helped us come up with ways to better serve people’s building needs.

Relationships help us add value

In life, positive relationships help happiness and success. These relationships are with friends, family, companies and community. You help people and people help you. The interaction between people in any type of relationship should be positive and beneficial to everyone involved.

At Paradigm we strive to positively impact the people we work with. We have taken the time to build strong relationships with high quality partners. These include suppliers, masons, electricians, plumbers and other builders. We utilize these relationships to help people with their construction needs. We don’t know everything, but we do know people in almost every facet of construction. We rely on the people in our network to help us help our customers. Our partners rely on us as well. It’s communication between our partners, customers and us that help create effective and efficient service. We come up with solutions to a wide array of building problems and projects. Our number one priority is a quality experience with our customers so that we may form a happy and lasting relationship.

Yelm Solar Seminar

Green Energy Technology Seminar

Paradigm went down to Yelm last night to see some of the latest green energy technology. We were able to hear Raymond Lam the president of “Silk Road Solar” and Michael Copeland our local distributor in Seattle speak and give us the details about the Solar Tube systems. Ray is an engineer who spoke mainly of significantly lowering the environmental impact of energy consumption as well as having a low dependence on others for energy. An average home uses 30% of its energy usage on hot water and 20% on heating the house. Rays tubes are able to heat water and can heat your house without electricity. In the past green technology has cost so much that to offset the initial price of the solar equipment it would take approximately 15 years to pay off. Of course out here in the Northwest it would probably take longer because we have such little sun for most of the year. Ray designed the Solar Tubes especially for the Northwest climate. They are made to capture more Ultra-Violet light and work efficiently even on cold, cloudy, rainy days. Ray says his system should take no more than 3 years to pay for it self and most likely much less than that. If you have any questions leave us a comment :D
