PAC Members & Star Building Leadership Representatives.

Nassau, Bahamas - The head of a Bahamian building company was recently selected to join an elite group of builders in the U.S., after becoming the first international representative on the Star Building Systems’ President’s Advisory Council in over 15 years.
Lee McCoy, President of TMC Engineering, an award-winning Nassau-based company which installs metal structures produced by Star Building Systems for clients throughout The Bahamas, joined other Star Builders from the United States and Canada at the Oklahoma-based company’s President’s Advisory Council (PAC) event in August 2016. The PAC is a small group of elite builders who represent over 1,100 Star Builders throughout the world. The goal of the PAC is to advise the leadership on what they are doing well, and what can be improved.
TMC Engineering was asked to join the PAC after being selected for Outstanding Builder awards by Star Building Systems every year since McCoy took over leadership of TMC Engineering in 2006, and having joined the Star Building Systems’ Presidents Club in 2015.

Speaking of the Jackson Hole conference and his company’s success in The Bahamas, McCoy said: “I met a variety of builders with diverse experiences. Some builders only supply buildings and some supply and install like us; some have only one or two very large clients at any given time.
“One thing I noticed was most, if not all, were negotiation based builders. Instead of relying on low-bid tactics, they talk with their clients and find out exactly what they need and give them a great product and service to match. This is how TMC operates and how we've been able to become a top Star Builder in The Bahamas.”
During the event, President of Star Buildings David Alexander gave an update to the status of the company and the future outlook; others followed updating changes since the last meeting. The builders were then left alone to discuss the various issues that had come up over the past year among those represented, across areas including service, product, automation, and marketing.
The builders then split into committees to discuss the various segments along with the company representatives from each area. For his first year, McCoy was assigned to the marketing committee. Many ideas were discussed around both internal and external marketing, as well as integrated training programs for Star Builders. The various committees then reported back to the Star Buildings leadership.

McCoy said: “Communication was a common theme in all of the segments. From making sure follow up phone calls are made to letting builders know about new products and changes. We've certainly seen this happening more on our end and I think this will help improve communication with our clients as well.”
Star-hosted meals and social events were a great time to get to know the other builders and Star Buildings’ staff. The size of the builders involved varied from small businesses, such as TMC, to companies that do work in all 50 states and internationally.
A 100% Bahamian company, TMC’s 2016 client list in The Bahamas include Wildflowers Events and Occasions, Home Fabrics, Central Food Fair, and Aetos Holdings, the corporate owner of Wendy's, Popeyes, and Marco's Pizza. In addition, TMC is currently working with Integrated Building Services to provide a dormitory for the Moore's Island Student Athlete Program. This community service project is one of the many ways the company gives back to the Bahamas.
