“The Building People”on Most Successful Companies in America List

As a small business, how do you land yourself on the shortlist of the fastest growing private companies in America.

Esteemed Berkshire client The Building People has figured out the formula, and for the second year in a row they’ve made this list of 5,000 fastest growing companies, skyrocketing from #1,327 in 2018 to #472 this year.

This list of companies, as published by Inc. Magazine, places the company in the top 10% among the most successful small private businesses in the country – an incredible feat for a business that was founded just seven years ago.

“This ranking does not come easy, and we know so many folks have worked long and hard to get us to where we are today,” said Lawrence A. Melton, CEO and President of The Building People.

Berkshire is proud to have played a small part in The Building People’s journey to the top, supporting the company’s fast growth trajectory with our cutting-edge talent acquisition software balanceTRAK since 2017.

In the case of The Building People, balanceTRAK has assisted the company in bringing in top-talent while allowing leadership to focus on the things that matter most. 

So, what’s their recipe for success?

“Since 2013, we built our success on trust, guidance, and transparency,” said Melton. “Our principles, values, and mission continue to inspire the passion, energy, and enthusiasm that you expect from our team.”

On behalf of everyone at Berkshire Associates, we warmly congratulate The Building People for their grounded approach – and this tremendous marker of success.
