Larsen adds. “That neighborhood was built in the 1920s and ‘30s, mostly. So, we’re moving into areas that were built in the ‘50s and ‘60s, where they had larger lots and you could do bigger homes.” While Larsen Development might be building bigger homes, the company, with its staff of 13, is not focused on getting any bigger, itself. “We don’t see becoming a huge builder; we’re not driven by growth,” Larsen states. “Our objective, right now, is to do 12 custom homes a year. A key objective in the next few years is to continue to improve and get better at what we’re doing.We want to continually take care of our clients and figure out better ways of doing what we do.We need to always be on top of design trends, new products, and technology. It’s constantly changing out there.” What doesn’t appear to change much in the company’s business model is its long- term relationships with its subcontractors and suppliers. “They’re the key to our suc- cess,” Larsen admits. “We are very loyal to them and, in turn, they’re loyal to us.We do not go out and change vendors at will. Over the years, we’ve developed relationships that are part of our team. I have a painting company that’s been with me for 30 years; a lot of our vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors - 10 years.” “It’s one big benefit for us: having such a loyal subcontractor and vendor base and PREFERRED VENDORS n Caruso Kitchens www.carusokitchens.com For over 30 years, Caruso Kitchens has created thousands of award-winning, dream kitchens for Colorado residents.

Detail, quality, and performance are what make us who we are, and that comes from our team.” Both Larsen and Englund are firm in their belief that the company’s future fortunes will be the result of the fine work of its profession- al staff and its high level of customer service. “We’ve got a great team, and we want to see them develop further,” Larsen says. “A lot of companies are investing in marketing and try- ing to get their name and brand out there,” says Englund. “We’re kind of the opposite; we’re a big family here; we’re really into investing in our team and our clients. That’s where our brand recognition comes from.”
