NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LP Building Products has been awarded the prestigious “Partners of Choice” Award from David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately held home builder, for the fourth straight year.
LP achieved the coveted “A,A” rating in both service and quality. This is the highest award presented by the homebuilder.
LP was one of only 17 of the 200 companies participating in David Weekley Homes’ industry-leading supplier feedback platform to receive the A,A rating.
“We are humbled by this honor,” LP Specialty Sales and Marketing Vice President Craig Sichling said. “To be honored by one of the nation’s largest builders is a testament to the hard work that LP employees and channel partners put into what they do every day.”
At the heart of David Weekley Home’s process is the National Trading Partner Survey, which was implemented in 2004, and serves as the engine behind the homebuilder’s renowned supplier feedback platform.
“All companies would like to think of themselves as world-class,” said Bill Justus, vice president of supply chain services for David Weekley Homes and chief architect behind the homebuilder’s supplier evaluation platform.
“The challenge is to translate desire into action. Our program will not allow a company to achieve strong results through rhetoric. The only way to excel is through consistently delivering quality products at competitive prices seamlessly into our homes. Our friends at LP have done this for 4 straight years.”
LP’s field sales and marketing team works closely with David Weekley Homes, supplying more than half of the homebuilder’s markets with a variety of engineered wood products including LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier sheathing, LP® TopNotch® Sub-flooring, LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, and LP® SolidStart® Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL).
“Their evaluation process helps us gauge where we excel and where we need to improve,” Tim Johnson, LP’s national account manager for new construction, said.
“We share the information with our sales and marketing teams,” Johnson said. “We all work very hard to provide world class service and quality to an important customer.”
