TWR Celebrates its 20th Anniversary
We have always thrived by staying one step ahead of industry standards!
A message from Thomas Rhodes, President, TWR Enterprises, Inc.
As we mark the 20-year anniversary milestone, we celebrate our valued clients and the relationships we have built with them for the past two decades.

Over the years we have worked hard to develop both an experienced staff and efficient systems to manage the framing business. We have focused on our core business to make ourselves the best framing contractor possible. We have invested in technology to advance and refine the process, while constantly reinforcing our foundation of maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. TWR has worked hard to sustain strong ties with the best suppliers and manufacturers in the industry. Our suppliers appreciate the fact that in a global sense TWR is able to leverage the volume of all its clients in order to craft superior deals. It is these relationships that are at the heart of our anniversary celebration. Thank you!

PRO BONO: Inland companies and workers contribute to an "Extreme Makeover."
Press Enterprise- Wednesday,
June 9, 2004

"Tom Rhodes, owner of Corona based TWR Framing, said the steps taken to assure the house would be built so fast probably doubled or tripled the cost of construction, because workers had to wait to jump in as soon as they were needed. Rhodes said about half of TWR's framers on the job were salaried managers who donated their time. In addition, he said, the company donated the labor of hourly workers. "

TWR Leverages its volume to yield preferential treatment, ensuring preferred delivery
As the leading framing contractor in Southern California, TWR has found that its size and the volume of lumber it purchases have been tremendous assets, yielding benefits that TWR is able to pass along to its clients.
TWR has developed excellent relationships and communication channels with truss and lumber suppliers. These suppliers are committed to working closely with TWR to ensure preferential delivery, even rearranging schedules when necessary to meet a deadline.
With this purchasing power and the large number of projects that it is framing at any one time, TWR is able to pool its resources and shift materials to a different job site should schedule changes occur or a new priority arise.
A cornerstone of TWR’s success has been its product partnerships. It is these relationships with reputable companies that have made TWR’s purchasing power and on-time delivery rock solid. And when new products come on the market, TWR is top of the list to receive training and education from its partner suppliers. Whether it’s a long term supplier or a newer vendor offering the latest products and technologies, TWR is proud of these relationships and of the benefit they bring to its customers.
