Built On The Rock Industries uses faith to guide its dedication to quality.
By Staci Davidson, Managing Editor at Knighthouse Media
The longer people work in a job or industry, the more they get set in their ways. This can be bad, in an old-dog-new-tricks sort of way, but if a person values quality work, that only strengthens as he or she grows in the industry. With quality as a value, a strong reputation builds, and a person will settle for nothing less than the highest standards.
This is the case of J. Raunel Tejeda, founder and owner of Built On The Rock Industries in Round Rock, Texas. Tejeda spent most of his early career in construction, working with a general contractor for several years. Eventually he started working with a drywall contractor, but after a year, he got a call from another contractor who was offering more money. Tejeda took the offer, but his quality values didn’t jibe with that operation.
“Things went sideways with him because they weren’t offering quality work,” he says. “I started looking for other offers.”

The company’s familial culture has helped it attract skilled workers who maintain their tenure with the business for the long term, which is key for any company in the construction industry.
“[Owner] Mary Dvoratchek is very understanding with people,” says Mike Hobolich, who performs sales, estimating and other functions for the company, and is Dvoratchek’s son. “She believes family comes first and the job comes second, and as a result, she treats everybody really well.”

Morpheus provides construction companies with customized integration systems that meet their needs.
By Alan Dorich
Implementing a system to share project information can sometimes feel like a necessary evil. Some turn to all-in-one software packages that can sacrifice functionality, but others have chosen the more productive route by using MTG Frameworks, the platform provided by Morpheus Technology Group LLC.
Based in Redmond, Ore., the company provides custom integration solutions using its commercial off-the-shelf platform (MTG Frameworks) to fit its clients’ unique workflows and business needs. Founding Partner Randy Nolan says Morpheus’ history goes back to the late 1990s, when two of its founders worked on a large integration project in California.

By Jim Harris
During its first five years in business, Giovanni Monti & Partners (GM&P) grew from $400,000 to $150 million in revenue. “We were in the right place at the right time and had the right people behind us,” founder Giovanni Monti says of the accomplishment.
Monti founded the Miami-based glazing contractor in 2011. He had an already strong relationship with Jose and Christian Daes, owners of Tecnoglass, a supplier of architectural glass, windows and associated aluminum products used in GM&P’s projects. “Jose and Christian helped me grow the company by giving me the possibility to access to almost unlimited production capability and an engineering team that could support me in the design of new product to distinguish us for the competition,” Monti says. “We were able to compete from day one.”
