four different ERP platforms , each of which has proved a brake on progress , Durabuilt is migrating to a new system , WTS Paradigm , specially configured for the industry .
Durabuilt has been a member of Built Green Canada for 10 years , emphasising its commitment to the environment . The difficult task of balancing necessary investment in automation , weathering a hit from currency fluctuations and complying with ever more stringent regulations like the recently upgraded North America Fenestration Standard as applied under Canadian building codes , as against the need to remain price competitive and return an annual profit , keeps Harry Sunner and his father , who at a mere 70 shows no sign of wanting to retire , as busy as ever .
Entrepreneurs to the core , they see their success in context . Sunner says : “ Sometimes business leaders feel that if they are doing a little better than the competition that is fine . We do not . We are not into self-congratulation – we celebrate our successes then move on to what will be better . It took us a long time to build credibility , a trusted brand and a trusted workplace , to the point where people now want to come and work at Durabuilt .”
Durabuilt ’ s success , he concludes , is not just about the leadership and the workforce – it is about the health of the industry , of Edmonton , of Alberta and of the Canadian economy .
“ It took us a long time to build credibility , a trusted brand and a trusted workplace , to the point where people now want to come and work at Durabuilt ”
