Custom Components Company Announces New Project - University of Florida Stadium Club

Custom Components Company just finished a new project, the University of Florida Stadium Club in Gainesville, FL.  The Stadium Club is a newly constructed building designed to take advantage of Florida's outdoor lifestyle by providing maximum street exposure to college students, community residents, and sports fans alike.  It is located directly across from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at the University of Florida.  The building is a mixed use venture that features shops and restaurants, as well as luxury condos.  Lugert Development Corp. of Ocala, FL is the general contractor.

Custom Components Company supplied and installed a custom designed and fabricated aluminum trellis structure that dominates the rooftop of the building.  The beams for the trellis are 3" x 8" x 22', fabricated of stretch formed aluminum  from Southern Stretch Forming in Denton, TX, and powder coated in an AAMA 2605 Spraylat Newlar powder coat finish.  The beams were then placed in a specially designed transport and positioning jig that was "flown" up to the rooftop, by crane, for installation.

Be Quick When Making Decisions

How fast or slow does your company make decisions? Rapidly growing businesses have tied the speed of their decision making to their success. There are not a lot of examples that show success from slow or drawn out decisions. Business owners need to be quick, smart and able to change their view based upon new facts.

Strive To Exceed Expectations

You should always deliver on your customers' expectations, but you can achieve even greater success if you exceed those expectations. Stay in touch before, during and after a job and inform customers about deliverable dates and any delays. These actions go a long way to build customer loyalty, repeat business and word of mouth referrals.

Don't Try To Hide Negative Feedback

Business Tip of the Day

Don't Try to Hide Negative Feedback

Face negative feedback head on instead of shying away from it. Addressing customer concerns builds trust, helps diffuse a tense situation and can help you win back an upset customer. Even better, it gives your brand advocates a chance to come to your defense.

Gateway Arch - Optical Illusion?

The Gateway Arch or Gateway to the West is an arch that is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri.  It was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States.  At 630 feet, it is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri’s tallest accessible building, and the largest architectural structure designed as a weighted or flattened catenary arch.  The Gateway Arch looks taller than it is wider, but it is exactly 630 feet by 630 feet.

Beat The Competition With Better Service

Contrary to popular opinion, most purchasing is not based on the lowest price. Service is a key component in many buying decisions and can take many forms: shorter turnaround in shipping, a customer-friendly website, dealing with problems quickly, admitting, correcting, and paying for mistakes. Excellent service almost always wins out in the end.
