Perka CEO- Martial Thevenot

I would just like to introduce myself as one of the “Head Stewards” of TEAM PERKA.  Sure we are a business and corporation by normal structures and standards.  But since my Dad passed away, who was also our original founder, I have come to realize that there are allot more important things in life than hierarchies, social structures, negotiating, competition and “bottom lines”…

Sure we have a great product at a great price.  But more than that we are trying to break through old paradigm thinkings of just making a living with our buildings… To TEAM PERKA - our products are a means to a way of allowing our collective creativity to come together to provide solutions to particular needs or wants, including being part of the solution to our Earth’s present day challenges of sustainability.

So more than just providing a dozen different high quality steel truss and frame models with hundreds of permutations of loads and sizes, we wish to offer experience, flexibility and most importantly a willingness to work WITH YOU to arrive at the best answer to your building need.

This Blog invites you to ask general questions about what, where, how and even why we do or choose certain things about buildings.  IT IS AN OPEN BLOG.  We can all share our ideas, opinions and commentaries.  The intention here is to allow for coherent collective “thinking” to arrive at an ‘as well informed’ decision as we possibly can.

It is in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation that we intend to co-create a better world… not just through our buildings - but through our relationships and our growing awareness of how connected we actually are - regardless of where we’re from, what we do, or even “who” we are as far as labels and titles go.

Our world is at a crossroad.  We can choose to continue to COMPETE amongst ourselves, thinking and acting in self serving ways - or COOPERATE and approach our future with a selfless perspective that truly exemplifies the Global Community that we have become.

We are not the Rat Race - WE ARE THE HUMAN RACE.

And we’re not Human Doings - WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS…

Let’s BE!

Martial Thevenot

In today’s sometiems complicated way of doing things, it’s a real find and a breath of fresh air to do business with a company that takes time to get to know you and understand your specific building requirements.  Team Perka’s experienced sales team, with over 100 years industry experience, will walk you through the initial process of identifying your building parameters based on need, design and cost effectiveness.

Perka’s knowledgeable Engineering Team, always assuring the best design possible, backs the client services group. When design and the customer’s needs are met, a manufacturing order is issued to their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and the process to fabricate frames for your new building begins.

Perka is the only manufacturer to make the effort and spend the time necessary to provide the pre-assembly service.  Martial Thevenot states: “This is sometimes a painstaking process – but one the company would rather go through in the shop than have clients have to fight with in the field.”  Call for the pre-assembly details that can save you time and money!

Perka Building Frames produces frames and trusses starting at 20 feet wide for the DIY backyard project; or for the professional builder; Perka can provide frames in widths of 200 feet clear and beyond to meet any project demand. Perka’s frames are always designed to be sovereign in stracture-ability.   It is independent of the building’s envelope…   Perka has been a pionner of the now industry hybrid standard of steel and wood, but Perka  can also provide  open web steel frames married with structural steel and steel girts and purlins, resulting in the most flexible system for any and all building projects.

Perka’s innovation, open to thinkings outside the box, commitment, vision and integrity continue to lead the way!
