Quality:
At Reliant, we have made a commitment to quality. Throughout the years we have had the privilege to work with Honda of America Mfg., Inc. and have inherited their high expectations for quality. We feel that with our constant display of quality and pursuit of perfection, Reliant is able to be a leader in its field.
Customer-Focused:
Some contractors approach customers on a transactional basis. In other words, each transaction is the opportunity to get the upper hand and to squeeze more money out of their customer.
In contrast, Reliant believes that the opportunity to serve customers is a privilege not a right, and one the provides us the opportunity to create a life-long relationship that can be beneficial to both parties over time. We call it “our long view”. Occasionally, this philosophy means we have to do things to take care of our customers that our accountants don’t care for, but that’s why many of our customers have been doing business with us for years.
Honesty, Integrity and Respect for People and their Environment:
Let’s face it… When most people think about “contractors”, honesty, integrity and respect is not likely any of the words that come to mind.
At Reliant, the tone is set by the Corporate Operating Committee members’ whose personal core values include honesty, integrity and respect for people and the environment. These values guide our daily dealing with associates, customers, business partners and competitors, and in may ways, is now embedded in our company culture.
