ABOUT US
ABOUT YOU
On many “About Us” pages you’ll find the usual “professional” sounding jargon about “values”, “our mission”, “our vision”, “best of breed of services” and many other superficial buzzwords. Next queue the stock photos of people in suits high fiving each other.
We prefer to keep it real. We also recognize that it’s about YOU – not us. It’s all about what we can do for you and how we can serve you to achieve your project goals.
Of course, we do have values we are proud of, a mission that drives us and an exciting vision, but we’d much rather you personally experience these than have them preached to you from boring “About Us” page.
It means so much more when someone walks the walk rather than just talking the talk. So here’s the deal. Whether you’re already an established contractor/subcontractor or you’re a newcomer to the industry, you need to be contractually savvy contractor to be successful over the long term.
The biggest construction companies have armies of contracts people because they understand “the returns are in the terms” and “the margin is in the managing of the contract”.
We could write a long sales page to try and convince you why you should work with Quantum, but we decided to let our client’s results do the talking instead.
BUSINESS FOR GOOD
Some people look at businesses as money-grabbing, faceless organisations whose sole goal is to make a profit, happy to fire people at will, and constantly breaking the law but actually, business can and are used for good.
1. HELPING COMPANIES STAY IN BUSINESS
~3000 Construction Companies go out of business every year in Australia and this figure is likely to be much higher in the years to come when the impact of COVID is actually felt.
2. DIGITAL BUSINESSES
Working remotely with flexible working hours is the way of the future.
These types of business open up a new talent pool of resources, creating happier employees and provides opportunities for a better life for people in remote areas.
Every time QCS completes a “Contract Review” for its clients, it purchases 1 day of digital training for Indigenous communities.
As part of its Operations meetings on a weekly basis, the team talks about “how many days of training we have contributed to” rather than just numbers. We find that it gives everyone a sense that what they are doing is making a real difference in the world.
3. A BETTER SOLUTION FOR GENDER EQUALITY
Our company is 80% female. There was no quota, no initiative – Just a better solution. Being a fully digital company with flexi-working hours meant that the BEST people turned out to be Women. Full stop, end of story.
QCS also implemented a policy of “equal mandatory child leave” for men and women meaning there is no archaic “you need to factor in maternity leave when hiring a woman” nonsense. It’s a fair playing field now and only the best people get the job regardless of gender.
Every time our company produces a Variation or Extension of Time for its clients, it purchases 1 day of Leadership Training for Emerging Female Leaders in SEA.
