Building With In-House Labor, a Conversation With Joey Fentress

Proform Builds Featured on Podcast: The Value of In-House Labor in Keeping Projects on Track

We’re excited to announce that Proform Builds, Seattle’s trusted general contractor specializing in custom homes and full renovations, was recently featured on a podcast where Joey Fentress, our founder and owner, had the opportunity to discuss one of the cornerstones of our success—our in-house labor.

At Proform Builds, we believe that staffing and managing an in-house team is crucial to maintaining control over the quality, timeline, and efficiency of every project. Joey shared how having skilled craftsmen on staff allows us to keep jobs moving forward seamlessly, avoiding the delays and unpredictability that can come from relying on trade partners and subcontractors. It’s all about maintaining that consistent, high-level craftsmanship that our clients have come to expect from us, whether we’re building a custom luxury home or working on a renovation project.

Proform Builds recent expansion into Austin was also part of the conversation, where he emphasized how important it is to build strong, local teams in every city we work in—ensuring that the same level of professionalism and quality follows wherever we go.

We’re grateful to have had the chance to talk about how in-house labor has helped us grow and refine our process, and we’re excited to continue delivering exceptional results for our clients.

Thank you to the podcast team for having Joey on, and to our clients who trust us with their home-building dreams. We look forward to what’s ahead!
