ELKRIDGE, MD (October 5, 2021) – PERI Formwork Systems, Inc., one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffold systems, recently raised money for Habitat for Humanity Chicago based on the participation it received during a three-month survey of its customers. On September 23, 2021, PERI leaders presented a $4,000 check to Victoria Onufrieff, donor database and relations specialist for Habitat for Humanity Chicago, at PERI USA’s Chicago office. The money will go to providing affordable housing to families in need in Chicagoland.
“Our recent customer survey provided critical intelligence to PERI on how we are doing at building productive relationships and providing solutions to our customers. The input we received will guide us in enhancing customer service and being a more strategic service provider, which is invaluable to our business,” said Strydom Groenewald, CEO of PERI USA. “By committing to a donation for every customer survey we completed, we turned the effort into a ‘win-win’ for all involved. We were able to gather important data on the state of our business, and we provided a sizable donation to Habitat for Humanity, which helps families achieve the dream of homeownership.”
From March to May 2021, PERI conducted 15-minute customer surveys to learn more about the experience PERI customers receive. PERI USA pledged to donate a set amount to Habitat for Humanity for each completed phone interview.
The check presentation is the latest support PERI has provided to Habitat.
In June 2021, PERI collaborated with Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona to construct one of the nation’s first fully permitted 3D-printed homes. Using a combination of 3D printing and traditional construction, the result was a single-story home with more than 1,700 square feet of living space that included three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
