By continually meeting or exceeding product specified requirements, customer expectations, delivery requirements, and soliciting feedback on performance, continual improvement in product or processes can be identified and addressed. Dukane interfaces with design professionals, architects and engineers during the design process, and high school and college students, public officials, business owners or owner representatives, suppliers, and field personnel during the educating, bidding, and construction phases of the project. Dardis admits, “The key to this type of marketing is meeting the requirements and expectations of all our stakeholders and customers. In construction, you are as good as your last job so the need for performance and execution is paramount.” Looking to the future, Dardis relies on his experience and knowledge to provide valuable insights into the industry and the goals for Dukane Precast going forward. He shares, “Due to the reduced construction site labor force, plant manufactured building components are here to stay. The goal is to maintain concrete as the product of choice for commercial and industrial construction. To ensure this occurs, continual educational programs that emphasize the lifetime values that precast/prestressed concrete provides inherently are needed for architects, engineers, building officials, and contractors. We believe it should be the product of choice for all multifamily construction and are working diligently to obtain traction in this market.” Weldstar .com LOGANSPORT SOUTHBEND INDIANA AURORA MACHESNEYPARK UNIVERSITYPARK KENOSHA WISCONSIN WELDINGEQUIPMENT&SUPPLIES INDUSTRIAL&SPECIALTYGASES SAFETYEQUIPMENT EQUIPMENTRENTALS Since 1936, Weldstar has been supplying Northern & Central Illinois and Indiana, and SouthernWisconsin and Southern Michigan customers with a wide range of welding products and accessories, industrial and specialty gases, and safety equipment.
