PRESS - ProSales 2015. TOP 10 - ABSi recognized on National stage by Pro Sales Magazine

Pro Sales Logo  

Associated Building Supply Inc. competes on National stage with ProSales Top 100!

Whos Next Says ProSales?

ProSales Magazine Editor Craig Webb reports; "Given all the mergers and acquisitions that took place before and after Pro Sales announced the 2015 ProSales 100, several places on the list are likely to open up next year. When that happens, these dealers might well fill the gap. These are the top 10 companies that missed the cut for this year's list. Half of them posted growth rates that doubled or even quadrupled the 10.3% average sales growth for PS100 members. If they keep that up, there's no telling how high up the list they'll appear in 2016."

As the chart below indicates ABSi led the TOP 10 companies in growth in 2014 and is poised to have another double digit gain in 2015! "We have already added two new locations this year in Dublin and Pacific Grove to serve long term strategic markets." Read Article  2015 Pro Sales top 10  

ABSi Supplies Western Window Systems for Portola Valley Project with Field Achitecture

ABSi Sales Consultant Loren Monge works with Consilium Custom Homes and Field Architecture on Portola Valley project. This project called for contemporary windows andfortyoneOaks exterior 2 doors with the product solution being Architectural Aluminum by Western Window Systems. "We have tremendous respect for both Moshe Gray of Consilium Custom Homes and Jess Field of Field Architecture. It was a pleasure to work with both on this outstanding project," says ABSi Sales Consultant Loren Monge. Field Architecture (fA) is an internationally recognized father and son team, the recent winner of multiple Progressive Architecture (PA) Awards. Founded by Stan Field and son, Jess Field, based on Stan’s 40 years of practice, fA is a multi-generational firm dedicated to deepening the connection between people and the places they love. fortyoneOaks exterior 6Stan and Jess draw inspiration from the unique qualities and character of each site, to create architecture that is congruous with the landscape, and buildings that are beautiful, practical, and provide lasting places of interchange between the made and the natural. fA’s approach is imaginative and rigorous, and draws on the marriage of the art and science of architecture – both creative and technical – to impart a sense of wonder in their designs. The chemistry between a Client and Place forms the point of departure for every project. The location of a building within the broader context of the region or culture in which a project is being designed is essential, and often forms the basis for our inspiration. Situating the building in its specific terrain is where the building design begins, in essence, creating the set which will allow the architecture to respond to the particularities of its climate, topography, soil, hydrology, and flora. We think of Architecture as an instrument through which to experience this exquisite combination of elements which make a place unique.

On the May Cover: The Alamo Farmhouse project featured on cover of May 2015 Window & Door Magazine incorporates LaCantina Door’s folding door system to bring the property’s outside in. The project has won five national design awards. Integral in the project was designer Leslie Kalish, LMK Interiors; builder Steve Benkley, New Dimensions Construction; architect Mark Lamdolf and window and door dealer Associated Building Supply Inc. sales consultants Chris and Daniel Lorber.

Check out the entire article: INSIDE OUT. How to Navigate the Multi Panel Door Market.

Associated Building Supply Inc. (ABSi), which sells products from LaCantina Doors, Western Window Systems and Pacific Architectural Millwork, among others, agrees that the geographic versatility of the indoor/outdoor living trend comes down to how the entire multi-panel door system is engineered. “The design is 100 percent different depending on the location. You can put the cheapest door in the exact same space, and it may look good, but it could leak like a sieve,” Thurber says. He stresses the importance of proper installation to this extent, specifically calling out the function of the sill pans and flashing system. Water management is a huge piece of the puzzle. And while it may not be top-of-mind for homeowners, it’s the dealer’s responsibility to make it so.

ABSi recognized by Window & Door Magaizne in the May 2014 issue as Top Window & Door Specialist.

In a crowded home improvement market, consumers are faced with a plethora of choices when it comes to window and door replacement, as are builders seeking products for new construction projects. And while a number of companies—from big box stores to full-service remodelers—offer window and door products and installation services, they aren’t “specialists” in the field. In an effort to highlight the unique expertise of dealers and distributors that do primarily focus on the window and door market, Window & Door introduces the first national Top Specialists rankings. This new list—the latest in Window & Door’s prestigious “top list” editorial that includes the Top 100 Manufacturers—ranks dealers and distributors specializing in windows, doors, skylights, sunrooms and related products for the new construction, remodeling and replacement markets, based on sales volume. To qualify for these rankings, sales of windows, doors, skylights and related products, accessories and services must account for more than 50 percent of a company’s 2013 estimated total sales. The Top Specialists list is Window & Door’s first effort to identify the largest independently owned, specialty window and door companies in the United States. Click here.

January 28, 2015

Dealers work to train sales teams, homeowners as new guidelines take effect... by Emily Kay Thompson, Editor Window & Door Magazine

FEATURE ARTICLE | Energy Efficiency For many dealers across the country, getting up to speed on the Energy Star v6.0 specification will be among their New Year’s resolutions. As of January 1, 2015, manufacturers must use the v6.0 product specification when labeling products for the North-Central, South-Central, and/or Southern Climate Zones. Energy StarManufacturers may continue to use the v5.0 product specification for the Northern Zone until January 1, 2016. For dealers, the education of their sales teams—and customers—will be crucial to a successful transition.

Energy Star v6.0 will impact some dealers more than others, according to Scott Thurber, vice president of Associated Building Supply, Inc. “It depends on the business model, the target audience, and what niche you’re after,” he says. “It is probably much more important in the remodel/retrofit market than it is for specialty/high-end that sells product solutions based on aesthetics.”

“Manufacturers give you tools and horse power when it comes time to talk energy,” Thurber says of his suppliers. For example, he says that Jeld-Wen’s architectural consultants put on training seminars and, “from a marketing standpoint, they provide a lot of materials.”

ABSi 2014 Supplies JELD-WEN Contemporary Wood-Clad Product Solutions

Contemporary Design is all about wide open spaces, clean lines and bold geometry. For many, the style also means individuality. ABSi supplies JELD-WEN Contemporary Wood Clad Window & Door products for high end luxury homes in the Bay Area.Fischer-Rice 1 33

That’s the inspiration behind JELD-WEN's contemporary models in their Custom Window & Door line, which offers those with a passion for contemporary and modern architecture the opportunity to create their own unique door and window styles using a combination of intriguing details and natural materials such as glass, metal and wood.

Over the years, contemporary homes have proven themselves to be among the most popular of styles, and JELD-WEN experts foresee a continued growth curve in the years to come.

In fact, the Perfect Home Survey, a nationwide study of homeowners commissioned by JELD-WEN, found that respondents identified contemporary as the second-most desired style of home in which they would like to live.

THE STORY...

The window and door product originally specified for these featured projects by the esteemed California based Architect were high-end Architectural Aluminum product. However, as it often does during the Title 24 energy calculation process, preserving the homes desired energy efficiency standards presented significant challenges and in this case as most, would not be compromised.

THE SOLUTION!

California Bay Area Swatt Miers Architecture was introduced to JELD-WEN's "Custom" wood clad narrow sight-line window and door product offering. They were amazed to discover, in addition to  enhanced energy efficiency, far more desirable and affordable  design options in terms of warm wood species, interior & exterior finishes, architectural profiles, design pressure performance options, and overall esthetics.  swatt panos24

Associated Building Supply, Inc. recognized Nationally for overall excellence in the professional market October 27, 2014 by Window & Door Magazine. At Associated Building Supply, the sales team spends a lot of time developing relationships and building trust with architects. “We work hard to protect and enhance their reputation with the homeowner by ultimately taking the burden of the window and door decision off their shoulders,” says Vice President Scott Thurber, who joined the company eight years ago when owner Chris Cole decided to expand the business. During his tenure, Thurber has helped grow ABSi to eight showroom locations in California—ranging from San Diego to Northern California—and 20 sales-people.

 “ABSi sales experts take ownership with each customer and are committed to the service they provide from start to finish on every project,” says Jason Funk, president of Western Window Systems, which supplies ABSi. “They work to build the customer’s vision and stay on budget.” To enable the sales team to offer top-notch service, ABSi gives its sales consultants access to all eight showrooms for customer meetings and to use work stations when on the road. Since the company uses a cloud-based system, consultants have access to a private, real-time sales dashboard, quoting software, customer contracts and business records. “With a salesforce of tenured industry professionals, LaCantina Doors has the utmost confidence in ABSi’s ability to manage complex projects and support our mutual customers,” says Tim Kelting, national sales director for LaCantina Doors, which Associated Building Supply carries in its showrooms. “ABSi draws from a broad range of experience and has proven its ability to successfully exceed the service expectations of builders, architects and designers, as well as homeowners and end users.” Jeld-Wen Sales Manager Larry Case says he appreciates ABSi’s “continual training” for its employees and their professional customers—contractors and architects—who regularly attend Jeld-Wen manufacturing and plant training and tours. “You can expect an ABSi consultant to know the answer to product questions or know the best path to get an answer quickly,” he says. Thurber says the company helps its customers through value engineering and knowledge. “When some people look at plans, they see it as gospel. We look at it as art—requirements, codes, installation, aesthetics—all the things the homeowner, builder, and architect are after rolled into one package. That’s where we shine. We spend a great deal of time on the "complete package" by providing window & door intellectual property as the consultant of choice, the expert.” The method seems to be working. ABSi has achieved 40-50 percent growth per year over the past three years, according to Thurber. “We did well during the Recession by focusing on the high-end luxury home niche, which didn’t suffer like the production home segment.”
ABSi is committed to finding employees who Thurber says “are leaders, more professional. We continue to grow and hire all the time. We’re trending at $21 million for this year and our goal is to be at $50 million in the next three to four years.”doylogo 2010 ABSi is a 2-time winner of the prestigious Dealer of the Year award.  DOTY 2010

ABSi Sales Consultant Bob Parliament Supplies Windows & Doors for Stanford University Olmsted Housing

Olmsted Housing Will Improve Stanford's Recruiting of Coaches.
The construction of 25 housing units, including 17 single-family homes and four duplexes, designed primarily for athletic coaches and their families, is on a three-acre plot between El Camino Real and Olmsted Road. The Stanford Athletics housing project between El Camino Real and Olmsted Road, projected to make recruiting coaches easier, is completetd, according to Deputy Athletic Director Ray Purpur.

Like the nearby and newly opened faculty housing project on Stanford Avenue, the additional housing for coaches is intended to offset the extraordinary cost of living in the Stanford area. Often, newly hired staff members have trouble finding affordable living space near campus. "We're the most expensive housing market in all of Division 1A athletics," said Purpur. Having an on-campus housing option makes Stanford more competitive when recruiting talented coaches, he added. "Now, when we bring in a coach or an assistant coach, we can say, 'here's your salary, here's your team, and your budget and your benefits'," said Purpur. "And by the way, here's a house." Building Street Pic 2 Smallhomes for coaches has been part of Stanford Athletics' master plan for the past 25 years, Purpur said. The project was first proposed in 2007. The trustees gave construction approval to a scaled-back plan in April 2009. The Olmsted Road Staff Rental Housing, which includes 17 single-family homes and four duplexes for Department of Athletics coaches on 3 acres bounded by El Camino Real, Stanford Avenue and Olmsted Road. Each home is two stories and comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The houses, which Daycare Center Smallrange from 1,550 to 1,880 square feet, are each equipped with stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, and a big-screen television installed above a fireplace. "It's a little outrageous how nice they are," joked Purpur. All the houses are for rent only, which will allow for flexibility, since coaches tend to be transitory. The Athletics Department's long-term goal is for the complex to serve as transitional housing so that short-term coaches can avoid the logistical hassle that comes with moving, and long-term coaches can eventually afford a down payment on a house. Purpur said the project has been supported by Stanford alumnus John Arrillaga, who has been involved as project manager. "He's the driving force behind getting this done," said Purpur. 
Whole HOuse Small
Although the buildings have not been completed, all the homes are spoken for. The neighborhood will be mostly populated with a mix of head and assistant coaches, although three of the units will be occupied by staff members from outside athletics. Purpur hopes that the neighborhood will be a fun, close-knit community. All the families moving into the new housing have children, and a large playground will be installed in the complex courtyard. "I think there's going to be huge barbecues outside where people talk about coaching philosophies," said Purpur. He hopes that the neighborhood will facilitate communication between coaches, eventually allowing more experienced coaches to mentor new ones.

After product due diligence was completed, JELD-WEN Siteline EX Wood Windows & Doors with Auralast were manufactured to order achieving a wide variety of architectural design styles, clad color themes, and creative exterior trim options. Energy efficient LowE366 glass was used with a multitude of Simulated Divided Lite bar profiles and lite breakups. "The Stanford University Olmsted Housing project is a complete showcase of JELD-WEN window & door products and clearly demonstrates JELD-WEN's ability to achieve diverse design challenges with quality product solutions"; says ABSi Vice President Scott Cascade Fixed 3 SmallThurber. In addition, JELD-WEN IWP Aurora pre-finished Fiberglass Entry Systems were used over traditional wood entry products to enhance quality and reduce maintenance. On the interior, Lakeview Milllwork's beautiful interior solid core doors and TruStile MDF were used on the interiors to enhance and compliment the wide array of design needs. To top it off, SmartCare, the ABSi proactive service program was embraced and praised by both Builder & Architect. Architect Jeremiah Tolbert, architect and principle of Tolbert Designs, also feels similarly about working with ABS. “I believe they seek to please their clients by offering [and] suggesting great products, and carry that through to the final installation of it,” he says. “ABS does their job with excellence from start to finish.”

PCBC Back in its Heydey

June 11th, 2013 | Category: Featured Content

Exhibitors who attended last week’s PCBC, held in San Diego, said the event reminded them of years past due to impressive attendance numbers.

“I have attended PCBC for the past 25 years and this reminded me of its heyday,” said Scott Thurber, general manager, Associated Building Supply Inc., a California dealer, who displayed products from LaCantina Doors, Euroline Steel Windows & Doors, Western Window Systems, JELD-WEN Custom and AG Millworks in its booth. “It reminded me of the days when you would look at your watch and it would be 5 p.m. and you would wonder where the day went.”

He added that in his estimation, especially on the first day, attendance numbers increased significantly from past years. Those who were at the event were looking for differentiation and contemporary designs, according to Thurber.

“We have noticed the trend in contemporary designs and this was also evident at the show,” he said, “so we put these products front and center.”

He also said it was refreshing to see attendees looking for ways to differentiate instead of focusing solely on the price point.

“We serve the luxury residential and commercial market and we are finding that companies are not so focused on price anymore and we see that as a positive indicator,” he added. For so long, price was the main factor so it is nice to see that changing.”

Testimonial by Vikas Desai

We worked with Loren Monge at ABS to spec, quote and supply the windows (we used Western Windows) and doors (La Cantina) for our house. Loren was very helpful and we believe that the quote was very fairly priced.

Loren has worked very closely with us as well as with our contractor. We had several issues with a specific opening and he was very responsive and patient and we worked through the issue, though he had to go back to the manufacturer several times.

No hesitation in recommending ABS and Loren.
