are experts in commercial-sector construction , which includes industrial projects , automotive , retail , and office buildings . In addition , our work in the healthcare industry , building surgery centers , rehab facilities , remodeling acute care hospitals , and medical office buildings , continues to expand both locally and regionally .
“ Some of our work also comes from institutional clients , more specifically churches . We have plenty of experience in this area , having managed the construction of worship centers in a dozen or so locations . In the same vein , we also build on behalf of the education sector , primarily higher education establishments , and private schools for all ages .
“ Our newest market is the corporate resources segment , focused on companies with a diverse set of construction needs under a single corporate flag . For example , the same client may need an office refresh , a new substation in their manufacturing plant and a building expansion . Talley Riggins can support them on every one of these projects . Our business model is quite unique in that we manage such a diverse range of project types . We have a strong focus on building relationships with our customer base .”
Lean principles
Having introduced the importance of the people and personal relationships side of its business , John notes that putting people first was an essential part of the company culture from the beginning . This also ties into the principles of lean management , which , for the business , is based on one of its core values - Respect for People . As Doug explains : “ John and I wanted to build our business using lean construction principles , but we didn ’ t have much prior experience when it came to implementing these ideas . So , we made several key hires who implemented strategies and processes for project delivery that have blown us away . Using these principles and strategies , we were able to turn Talley Riggins Construction into a top competitor in the construction management market .
“ Lean construction management is all about teamwork , efficiency , and process . At Talley Riggins we use a variety of lean tools across all our projects , including the
Last Planner System™ , pull planning , and conditions of satisfaction that set our teams up for success . However , these standard tools were just the beginning .
