On March 4th, the Daviess County CEO Cohort embarked on an enlightening journey to Sandborn, where they were welcomed into the realm of Wagler Custom Homes. Larry Wagler, the owner and CEO, graciously led the group on a guided tour through their fabrication plant, offering insights into their processes and philosophy.
One distinctive aspect of Wagler Custom Homes is their use of railcar transportation for lumber, relinquishing the conventional use of semis. Larry emphasized the importance of efficiency throughout their operations, from inception to fruition. He explained, "From concept to completion, every step of our projects are handled by a team of Project Managers, Superintendents, and Qualified Construction Crews."
Efficiency, as Larry stressed, extends beyond mere productivity—it permeates every facet of their operations. Wagler Custom Homes exemplifies this by minimizing waste, ingeniously repurposing even the smallest wood scraps. This commitment to optimization underscores their dedication to excellence.
Larry shared invaluable insights with the cohort, emphasizing the significance of understanding every aspect of a job, regardless of one's position within the company. He noted that many employees commence their journey at Wagler Custom Homes by sweeping floors and concrete drives—a testament to the ethos of humility and diligence ingrained in the company culture.
In conclusion, the Daviess County CEO Cohort expresses heartfelt gratitude to Larry Wagler for generously sharing his insights and expertise. Their visit to Wagler Custom Homes offered not only a glimpse into efficient fabrication processes but also invaluable lessons in humility, efficiency, and expertise—a truly enriching experience for all involved.
