Welcome to a brand-new installment of the Built Different Podcast – this is Episode 20, an exciting one that you won't want to miss. Today, we delve into the inspiring journey of two childhood friends who have literally built their way to success.

We're joined by James Thompson and Kevin Nordhues, the powerhouse duo behind THI Builders. From their humble beginnings in a small Nebraskan town to mastering the craft of construction in Omaha, they've shaped a company that has touched an astounding 1200 houses a year and has built a strong reputation in the industry.

In today's episode, we'll hear about their rapid growth, particularly their monumental year in 2021-2022, where they completed 140 houses. But it's not just about the numbers for these gentlemen; it's about the value of sustainable growth, the intense focus on relationships – be it with homeowners, employees, or the larger community – and the unforgettable impact they've had through their work.

We'll also delve into the important aspects of lot availability in Omaha, the significance of close ties with builders for realtors, and the need to understand the intricacies of different construction styles.

James and Kevin will share their evolution from hands-on craftsmanship to navigating the day-to-day operations of a thriving business, managing the shifts in their roles, and the importance of cultivating solid partnerships with vendors and trades in these times of inflation and shortages.

And if you're curious about what sets THI Builders apart, our guests are here to tell you all about their commitment to quality, from offering transparent no-upgrade-needed homes to anticipating the steady climb of the real estate market and how they've strategically positioned themselves for the future.

So, strap in, grab your notepad, and let's get ready to learn what it means to be 'Built Different' from two of the most dedicated game-changers in the construction industry.
