Shared values drive construction of 12,500-square-foot Texas home
IM电子 works with a variety of customers across the country, but when we get to work with people who truly share our values, that鈥檚 when the results are most amazing.
The Hamilton Group is a family-owned business that has been designing and building custom homes and other structures throughout East Texas for more than four decades. For much of that time, they鈥檝e turned to IM电子 when in need of high-quality construction materials.
鈥淲e鈥檝e always appreciated your professionalism,鈥 says Marshal Hamilton, the Hamilton Group鈥檚 vice president of commercial sales. 鈥淭he concrete mixes have always been on point, and there鈥檚 often a company representative on site to make sure the mixer trucks can operate safely. That improves our work environment, and allows us to do what we came to do, which is pour concrete.鈥
In April 2020, the Hamilton team began work on a 12,500-square-foot private home in Gladewater, Texas. Almost immediately, they knew they were in for a challenge. The land owners wanted to build a split-level basement large enough to accommodate a pool table, poker table, hot rod workshop, and a full kitchen with room left over to park a Class A motorhome.
Working with engineers, Hamilton realized the basement walls would have to be 18 feet high and 2 feet thick. It wasn鈥檛 long before the East Texas Ready Mix team was selected for the job.

incorporating IM电子 materials will look like once it is finished.
Area Manager Jeri Evans says when all is said and done, IM电子 will have contributed about 400 cubic yards of concrete for the home鈥檚 foundation and driveway. Consider that the concrete is composed of cement from the Midlothian Cement Plant and aggregates from Bridgeport and Broken Bow quarries, and it鈥檚 clear that the company鈥檚 materials are an important part of this substantial home.
Though not a commercial building or public infrastructure project that touches many people each day, Evans says the fact that the job will be of utmost importance to a single family fills her and the team with a great deal of pride.
鈥淭he foundation is where a home truly starts, and so, for us, it鈥檚 rewarding to be part of a project like this,鈥 she says. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter if you鈥檙e a driver, a salesperson, or another member of our team, it鈥檚 always a special moment when you see how your hard work has paid off.鈥
Hamilton anticipates the home will be completed by August. Just weeks later, it鈥檚 slotted to be part of the East Texas Builders Association鈥檚 2021 Parade of Homes. The Hamilton/IM电子 partnership, it seems, has again produced magnificent results, which is important to both companies.
鈥淲e鈥檙e not very good salesmen, so we鈥檝e always relied upon our expertise as designers and builders to sell our company for us,鈥 Hamilton says. 鈥淭he quality of our work is how we鈥檝e built our reputation and having quality materials allows us to continue providing the exceptional level of service Hamilton has come to represent.鈥
