This month, we are spotlighting our office manager, Heidi Mease! We asked Heidi a few questions about what she enjoys doing both at home and at the office. Here’s what she had to say:

What do you like most about your job?

I like that every day presents something different in the way of rewards and challenges. I work with a great group of people that are ready and willing to help with any obstacle.  I also like that I get to bring my dogs to the office.

What is one quality that sets BLM Construction apart from competitors?

We don’t ding our customers for every little extra expense that comes up.  Too many contractors under bid a job and then present the customer with multiple change orders. Our core values are centered around integrity which means we are upfront, honest, patient, and understanding from the beginning to the end of a job, no exceptions.

What have you gained from working at BLM?

I’ve learned to be more patient and understanding. The construction industry can be very stressful. Changing commodity prices, weather conditions, and regulations all pose a substantial risk to our customer service and bottom line. Additionally, we are trusted with peoples’ homes and businesses and oftentimes, their life savings. To run a successful project and construction business, our team needs to always practice patience and understanding, which is a difficult thing to do in a stressful environment.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy watching Yankee games with my husband, Barry, and cooking with my youngest son, Jackson. I also enjoy visiting my oldest son, Jacob (who’s in college), and my daughter Jessica, (who’s in the Navy).

What is at the top of your bucket list?

I would like to take a couple of trips: one to Jerusalem and another to India.

Where is your favorite place to go in York, PA?

My favorite place to go is the BLM Construction office! I always have a lot to get done, and I enjoy creating and implementing processes to better serve our employees and customers.
