Impress Clients with Professional-Quality Schedules

"A portion of why we were selected is our professionalism towards our remodeling clients. And one aspect of that is our use of FastTrack Schedule. No other remodeling contractor in the area presents their clients with charts showing the progress of their project," reports Terry Henderson, founder and CEO of TQS Inc.

As a full-service remodeling company, 85% of their projects are residential and the remaining 15% are commercial contracts. Only six employees run three complex projects at any given time, so organization and productivity are key to their success.

"The charts enable both our clients and the lead carpenter or production manager to stay on schedule. It holds our feet to the fire so to speak."

Standing Out in a Crowd

"We really stand out among the competition. We continually strive to be highly professional and have achieved that in Spokane. We've won many contracts simply based on the schedule presented to our clients."

In fact, Henderson credits FastTrack Schedule for helping the company win an $80,000 job. TQS personalizes the project schedule for each client with pictures and graphics, creating a highly effective presentation.

"FastTrack Schedule gives my employees and clients confidence in the product we put out — a well remodeled home or office."
