Episode Description

Most businesses die in 5 years. Lummus Supply Co just turned 101.

In this episode of Behind The Build, I'm in Acworth, Georgia with CEO Will Lummus and his team to see how a fifth-generation building materials and millwork business supplies some of the finest luxury homes in Atlanta. We're talking a 29,000 square foot house, million-dollar window and door packages, and a machine that drills 1,200 holes in a single I-joist package.

What's inside:
 ✅ The 29,000 sq ft Georgia home and how Lummus specs its engineered wood with full 3D modeling, roof to foundation

 ✅ The Boise Cascade SawTek that cuts an entire house package and drills 1,200 holes in a two-day production run

 ✅ Why luxury homeowners want floor to ceiling windows, thinner sight lines, and more glass, and how Sierra Pacific Windows now builds operable casements up to 8 feet tall

 ✅ Multi-slide and pocketing door systems, including a 12-foot opening Lummus turned into an 18-foot disappearing wall with Western Window Systems

 ✅ The window lines they carry and how they match brands to budgets: Sierra Pacific Windows, Quaker Windows and Doors, Western Window Systems, Andersen Windows, Pella Windows, Lincoln Windows, and Windsor Windows

 ✅ Inside two custom homes in the Alpharetta and Milton area by E-Craft Homes and Crown Line Homes

 ✅ The showroom strategy that helps builders close: Trex and TimberTech decks, James Hardie siding, and tiny homes clients can walk through

 ✅ Will Lummus on culture: "Every driver is the CEO of their truck"
