An Owner's Perspective
 | | Wells Haren |
Safety first, quality always! How far this simple philosophy has taken us. Everyone deserves to go home at the end of each day to be with their family. This is the moral obligation we have to each other and it will not be compromised.
At HarenLaughlin, quality applies to more than our craftsmanship. It speaks to the quality of the communication we have with owners', architects and subcontractors. Quality in the paperwork required of field and office alike for so many people rely on the accuracy of its content. The quality of the relationships forged between team members in our efforts to create a superior facility for our client. Anything worth doing is worth doing right...and with quality.
I see these attributes as minimum standards with which to conduct business, however our clients have mentioned repeatedly that it is a refreshing change from other construction experiences they have endured. Perhaps their prior experiences are a reflection of changing times or changes in our industry.
Our philosophy of 'safety first, quality always,' has created some very satisfied and loyal clients. Our clients have helped us expand our business in many ways. In August, the Kansas City Business Journal's listing of Top General Contractors ranked HarenLaughlin as #10 in 2009 annual volume and #13 by local volume. The July issue of Ingram's Magazine reported the top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in Kansas City between the years 2006-2009. HarenLaughlin ranked #25 with a 93% growth rate! In May, HarenLaughlin was awarded "Project of the Year" for Missouri Bank - Crossroads and runner up for the senior living community the Sweet Life at the AGC Building Excellence Awards.
While I'm not one to talk much about these milestones, I am convinced that our recent success is a result of superior customer service at every turn...and working safely on every project!
To our loyal clients and dedicated teams - I offer our sincerest thanks for your faith in HarenLaughlin and your contributions to our success. Wells Haren

Commitment to Our Community
HarenLaughlin Employees Making a Difference
 | HarenLaughlin Day of Service
 |
At HarenLaughlin, we partner with philanthropic organizations that build strong families, encourage children, and foster education. In this spirit of supporting our community, Friday, October 15th was set aside as a day of community service. Our team participated in philanthropic endeavors building with Habitat for Humanity and packing weekend food packs at Harvesters for children supported through the BackSnack program.
The Results?
Our Habitat team installed roof trusses, plywood and roof prep materials, doors and windows on an entire home. Our Harvesters team assembled 1000 lunch packs, filling four pallets with weekend meals for kids who may not otherwise have something to eat. Some call service to our community being a good corporate citizen. At HarenLaughlin, we call it an unyielding commitment to the community where we live and work. |
