Going for the Gold

Posted by Francine in Company News | 0 comments

Basement Systems recently received three honors from the Connecticut Quality and Innovation Awards: two gold and one silver. The company’s unique Treehouse office space, Total Basement Finishing EverLast wall panels, and the new improvements made in the Basement Systems shipping department all scored highly with the CQIA judges.

With a growing web department that was running out of space for desks, company president Larry Janesky decided to make a change. Rather than squeezing in more cubicles he took it to another level and turned the web department into a treehouse. Using recycled lumber and other natural products he and a group of volunteers (all employees) spent two weeks building a series of platforms and raised-loft workspaces. This fantasy kind of workspace received a gold honor and the CQIA judges ranked it in the top 20 submissions for the innovation prize.

The EverLast wall panels in the Total Basement Finishing system received a gold honor as well, and were ranked in the top 10 submissions. The wall panels provide a reliable alternative to drywall or fiberglass and cloth panels. They don’t grow mold and they are insulated.

The Basement Systems shipping department has made large strides to become more productive and efficient. CQIA recognized these improvements with a silver award in innovation. Remote controls with sensors over warehouse doors, video cameras and a decrease in paperwork were all innovations that made the shipping process at Basement Systems more efficient and successful.
