Building Towards a Work-Life Balance
At Maillot Homes, we truly believe that there is nothing more important than the relationships we build with our clients, trade partners and each other at work. This often means we are more than happy to go the extra mile to craft truly exceptional homes. Practically this means that we have the tendency to leave our Work Life Balance at the literal door of the homes we build. Though, when you are designing homes for life, you must gain your inspiration from living fully! Here’s how we find our work life balance.
Team Wellness
The F45 in Kensington has been the staff’s go-to work out venue since moving into our Kensington office in March of 2024. A shout out to Coach Alex for making all of us feel welcome! Taking an hour to focus on our physical health, while motivating each other to dig a little deeper, feels aligned with how we approach all our work. Our Vice President, Sarah, has been the main influencer of gearing up for lunch time lifts. Alongside our President, Rob, the two of them make an incredible team of true community connectors. When you phone the office to chat about sales you will likely be directed to chat or email with these two as the start of your home building process. Wellness also extends to meals! Brody, our Construction Manager, can often be found chatting recipes with Veronica, our Planning and Design Manager, who is the ultimate informant on all things Venezuelan cuisine. Not to mention the entire staff’s love of pastries and sweets! Gathering over staff meals, counter-side snacks, and sharing our favourite restaurant recommendations is just part of creating a warm community atmosphere we extend to everyone who enters our office.
Job Sharing
Building a new luxury home can take 18 months to 2 years. This is a long time for us to be focused, present and detail oriented on a single project, which is why it takes a village! Each of our Project Managers have a few homes they are comprehensive facilitators of. They know the schedules, trades, clients, neighbours, and every detail happening in the home. All our sites are also supported by four Site Assistants and lead by four Designers who are all committed to high quality finishes, site safety and cleanliness, and keeping our clients informed throughout their build.
All the Maillot staff work collaboratively on every project. This makes for a smooth transition for our clients from build to occupancy to warranty services. We have an extended Warranty package that keeps our relationships with clients blossoming for years.
Work & Life On The Go
As life changes, so do we! At Maillot Homes we encourage a work from home day at least once per week. When the team does come back together in the office for our weekly meetings or quarterly Staff Update Lunches it makes the time together efficient and cherished.
