Universal Design
Many residential contractors are embracing a universal design principle. The goal is simple: Create living spaces that accommodate all people – from the able-bodied to the elderly and physically handicapped–without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The concept is especially marketable to the Active Adult baby-boomer population. “We are seeing the need for universal design and its’ implementation is quickly becoming accepted as normal throughout the country. You can see it in all facets of the residential building industry, including single-family, multi-family, and remodeling.” says Joel A. Bump, CAPS, EPA-RRP Certified. “Smart developers are building spaces that can be used by a larger group of people for a larger period of time.” (Source: http://www.multifamilyexecutive.com/finishes-and-surfaces)
IMI understands both the consumer needs and the builder needs. We currently have a Certified Aging In-Place Specialist (CAPS), EPA-RRP Certification, General Contractor & Master Plumber Licenses, and an Engineer on staff. The knowledge that these individuals bring to the table makes IMI and our MasterCast Engineered Composite vanity tops, tubs, shower bases, and wall surrounds the perfect choice for all your bathroom designs!

IMI now has two Certified Renovators!

You can be assured the IMI’s Gold Services keep you and your family at the top of our priority list! Across the US, there is a growing concern about lead-based paints in homes and businesses and the real health hazard this situation poses for families and children.
In response to this concern, the EPA has established a new rule focused on renovation, repair and painting work. Beginning April 2010, all renovation, repair, and painting work done on structures built prior to 1978 are required to be done by a EPA certified firm and a Certified Renovator from that firm must be on site during critical stages of the work.
IMI has staff already on board who passed the EPA’s safety course this month. IMI is committed to not only the highest standards in the manufacturing process, but also having the staff you need whether it is a General Contractor, a Certified-Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS), a Licensed Master Plumber or a Certified Renovator!
With IMI’s Gold Services program you can be assured that our cultured marble, cultured granite, and SSP materials are members of the flourishing family of MasterCast Engineered Composites. Guided by industry quality control testing and standards since 1974, MasterCast™ is the product of choice for decorative and functional surfacing such as countertops, bathtubs, custom shower bases, shower/tub walls, and more.
How Many Hats Are You Wearing Today?
We’re seeing it every day. Builders, project managers, field supervisors being pulled in so many different directions they can hardly find time to complete a task. Due to the earlier downturn in the housing market, many companies were forced to cut staff. The remaining employees have taken on additional tasks and responsibilities.
While completely capable, these employees are nonetheless finding it difficult to do the job that 2 or 3 or even 4 people used to do. As an employer, IMI is facing the same challenges: we are expecting more of our team members and we are continuously searching for new tools to allow us to serve you better. In this instance the tool I can provide to my clients and associates – in particular the project managers, field supervisors and all the builders – is assistance in scheduling. We know scheduling your suppliers and subcontractors is a constant struggle; therefore IMI has dedicated staff members to rework your schedules as needed.
Sometimes it rains. Sometimes buyers or homeowners change their minds. Dates change. We know that in this business you always have to expect the unexpected. Contact IMI’s scheduling staff members whenever the unexpected occurs! To improve communications, we are installing a new, state of the art phone system that will eliminate the auto attendant, with DID (Direct Inward Dial) numbers to all your contacts. We can help work with you to schedule and re-schedule as your needs dictate, so your deadlines are never missed!
