Boise Subcontractors On A Mission...

Deli Sign in Boise Whole Foods Market
In April 2012, after seven years of economy-driven starts and stops, the Boise Whole Foods Market was finally under construction and scheduled to open February 2013.  Then a rumor started that it was behind schedule (bad news again…)  It wasn’t true, but owners, developers, designers and builders alike didn’t like the sense that somehow they were letting the community down. 

The project leaders (CSHQA, Engineered Structures, Inc. and Whole Foods) determined  that simple rebuttals would not suffice.  Why not blow the doors off and actually make the rumored, hoped-for opening day of pre-Thanksgiving 2012?  It was a three-month hit to an already aggressive schedule.  What followed was a stunning example of the power of collaboration. 

CSHQA compressed the design schedule, ESI re-programmed the construction schedule, and countless subs and vendors, providing everything from landscaping to refrigeration to fair trade flowers, got on board. 

We appreciate and acknowledge this superior effort
by the Boise construction community.  Our hats are off to you!

New Leadership - New Focus

John Maulin, Kent Hanway and Craig Slocum
Nearly a year ago, CSHQA stockholders elected new officers - Kent Hanway (president), John Maulin (executive vice president), and Craig Slocum (secretary/treasurer), plus six directors.  Former president Jeff Shneider, Principal Emeritus, continues to consult with the leadership team.

Kent, John and Craig offer a combined 75+ years of experience with CSHQA.  They are committed to serving clients through understanding their building and business goals and engaging all stakeholders in the design and construction process.  To learn more about the transition through the eyes of our president, reads Kent's interview dated November 28, 2012 on this blog.

How We Do Business



Often times we think of Mission Statements as words a company puts on the back of its proposal or slips into the About Us page on the website.  It's a company's personal statement of who they are and how they do business.  You don't make a big deal out of it.  It's meant to be subtle.  Right?

Believe me, composing the CSHQA Mission Statement and the final choice of five Core Values was a lot harder than anyone imagined!  Ask anyone on the team.  Serious discussions about the meaning and import of words were followed by countless iterations, reviews, and "provisional" approvals.  It absolutely had to be right.  This isn’t just any company; it’s our company.  Thank you, Jim Otradosky, Dave Davies, Teresa Kellim and Mark Gier.  You got it right.
