OUR STORY

W&N Development, founded in 1996, is owned and managed by the Vander Linden Family. Wayne and Nancy started the company in Ferndale, Washington primarily as a concrete foundation, excavation and mobile home installation business. They, along with two of their sons Kyle and Eric, have expanded the business to include modular installs, seal coating/line striping, steel erection construction, and recently W&N Concrete Pumping, based in Kelso, Washington.

W&N’s goal is to provide a smart, affordable alternative to construction by offering a unique and compelling approach through project strategy and execution while remaining closely connected with their customers. Building trust through initiatives and fostering a warm, personable, service experience has helped carve a niche as a consistently reliable company where 100% complete and full customer satisfaction sets the bar.

W&N’s employees exemplify the brand. Employees are routinely safety trained and conscious of potential site hazards. The Company strives to minimize or eliminate these risks prior to entering your job-site.

W&N Development performs work in Residential and Commercial fields, from the large job-site to your backyard.

OUR CORE VALUES

The Values That Guide Everything We Do At W&N Development

1 - LEAD BY EXAMPLE

We understand that there is literally no other way to lead than from the front. We cannot lead if we are not willing to do. We cannot teach or expect anyone to follow our lead if we haven't done the work ourselves and set the standard on what to do and how to do it. We understand that boss’s tell you how to work and a leader shows you how to work.

2 - COMMUNICATION

Communication is a foundational value of our community because it combines our focus on open source sharing everything we do with the world with our focus on constant improvement as individuals and as an organization. Failures always tend to happen less when everyone involved has all the information.

3 - OWNERSHIP

It means not waiting for others to act, and caring about the outcome as much as an owner of the company would. It is being accountable for the results of your actions - that are of the highest quality and delivered in a timely manner. Taking ownership shows others that they can trust you to do the right thing.

4 - HONESTY

Honesty is demonstrated by what we say and by what we do. ... It impacts our entire life; our jobs, our relationships, our own feelings about ourselves and the actions we take. It can move us forward and allow us to feel good about what we do.

5 - FAMILY, CULTURE, & COMMUNITY

When we choose to be part of a community, we compile our knowledge, resources, and skills that allow us to work toward shared goals. Community means that we are dedicated to our colleagues, our work, and our position within the organization while being motivated by the way those around us innovate and take initiative. We are above all else a family owned and operated company.

6 - ALWAYS BE LEARNING AND GROWING

We are always learning and striving to better the company and ourselves. We believe in taking the time to learn things on our own to better ourselves personally and improve our performance. We know that learning is essential to growing and that our personal growth and performance have a direct impact on the company’s growth and performance. We work to get better everyday and constantly push ourselves for personal progress and make it a point to never be the weak link on the team.

7 - LOYALTY

We are, above all else, loyal. We believe in loyalty to our customers because without them we serve no purpose. We are loyal teammates because they are the ones in the trenches with us fighting for our mission to help others. We are loyal to ourselves and to these core values; because they shape us and define what we believe will make us successful.

8 - BE HUMBLE

We stay humble and practice humility when it comes to our own progress and accomplishments. We don’t take the credit for our individual successes but instead give credit to the people who make our individual successes possible. We always give credit to others for a job well done, and we accept full responsibility when things go poorly.

9 - FAITH & POSITIVITY

We believe in the big picture, the direction we are all collectively going and exactly what needs to be done to get there. We believe in everything that W&N stands for, including these core values, and live by them both inside and outside of the job sites… it’s who we are fundamentally at our core … and we believe in that.

10 - ENTHUSIASM

We are enthusiastic about being a part of the W&N Team. Our enthusiasm and passion for what we do here carry through to all levels of our performance in everything that we do both at the job site and in our dealings with others externally.We understand that being enthusiastic is contagious and if we are enthusiastic and excited to help our customers, co-workers and the company they will reciprocate that excitement about us.

Every project that comes through also receives Seans knowledge on mix designs to be sure the proper mix is being selected for the best finish and highest quality.

Josh Roy FOREMAN

Josh Roy is one of our younger foremen that has come a long way. Josh arrived on the scene with a fair amount of construction knowledge, none of which was related to concrete. From day one, Josh has always strived to learn, give it his best and always improve. Josh has become a strong leader and a confident communicator. Josh does have an attendance issue, but to my knowledge and what I've seen first-hand, the absences are related to his health. He has made some drastic changes to his lifestyle and diet to keep the absences to a minimum.

Dalton Ahnstrom

When Dalton joined our team, he was not only new to W&N, but the construction field in general. The experience that he has today is result of of commitment. I use the word commitment because for the majority of the time Dalton has been employed by W&N, he's been working in Vancouver, our only out-of-state job at the moment. Dalton is an addition to the team that can be depended on. Dalton has drive, good attendance, he works steadily and has a consistent desire to learn. Conversating with Dalton, he has expressed his excitement to be with W&N for the long haul and is willing to learn and improve in any way he can to become an essential part of this team.

Tanner Meadows

One of our youngest employees, this is Tanner's second time being employed with W&N. Tanner has proven to be a completely different employee this time around. These days, Tanner always has a smile on his face and is eager to accomplish any task at hand. Tanner is consistent with his positive attitude and desire to work hard. With guidance and training, Tanner is an individual that is developing the skills to be a strong member of W&N. Dalton is an addition to the team that can be depended on. Dalton has drive, good attendance, he works steadily and has a consistent desire to learn. Conversating with Dalton, he has expressed his excitement to be with W&N for the long haul and is willing to learn and improve in any way he can to become an essential part of this team.

Chris Payne

Chris is a person whose appearance doesn't quite fit the concrete/ construction worker stereotype. What does match is his willingness to learn, work and show up on a regular basis. Chris is member of our team that has helped with the goal of finishing our tasks at the University Village Site in Vancouver. With more time and training under his belt, Chris is on track to becoming a valued member of our team. Dalton is an addition to the team that can be depended on.

Conversating with Dalton, he has expressed his excitement to be with W&N for the long haul and is willing to learn and improve in any way he can to become an essential part of this team.

Russell Gaylord

Mike Shope

Professional, smart and hardworking. Mike is a brick of stubborn go-get-it attitude. This man is a person that doesn't need any encouragement to work harder, but he may need a reminder that he's only human and may need to slow down or tone it down a touch. Mike is not afraid to get his hands dirty, let alone his whole body. Vastly responsible for the success of out Heartwood Plumbing Repair Project, Mike is a Foreman, a leader and one who leads by example. W&N is fortunate to have Mike Shope on the team.

Justin VandeHey

Justin is a man that arrives to the job to put in a full day's work. Not coming from a background of construction, Justin has no problem being assigned a task and completing it. If Justin is ever unclear of what's to be accomplished, Justin is not apprehensive to get the clarification needed to get the job done right.
