Quality and client satisfaction take precedence over the bottom line and are seen as directly tied to employee empowerment, which they attribute in part to their practice of open-book management, commitment to extensive education, training and professional development. Employees benefit from the company's profitability through profit sharing, but also from the high level of teamwork and 'culture of caring' which is often referred to as 'The Woodmeister Way'.

Designed to quantify customer satisfaction, is the company's Excellence Assurance Survey. EAS also serves as a benchmark for success at the company. At job completion, customers are contacted by an independent company who conducts a 32-question survey. 19 of the questions are rated 1-10 (10 is a perfect score). The answers are averaged to generate an overall survey rating. This number is reviewed at company meetings & Woodmeister's goal is to achieve a rating of 9.5 or better (achieved since 2004). Receiving a 9.5 is an extraordinary accomplishment in the construction industry. It reflects on the company's highly engaged employees, who are empowered to do great work
