Stan Luhr: Architect of Quality Built®

Stan Luhr is nationally recognized by top builders, insurers and attorneys for his innovative and successful risk-management strategies. Luhr began his career as a general contractor, then lent his construction skills to help solve complex litigation cases.

In 1994, after investigating thousands of building failures, Luhr merged the lessons learned from his work as a forensic investigator with a specified quality assurance strategy that has since become the most innovative and successful builder risk program ever.

Today, hundreds of the nation’s leading builders, from small, family-operated businesses to the largest national builders, utilize the Quality Built® program to reduce construction risk, save money and build safer, more energy-efficient and durable homes.

Luhr is credited with many industry-leading innovations and encourages builders to "inspire quality from the top down, but educate quality from the ground up." His philosophy of education and process control mirrors many well-known quality management models, but is geared specifically for the challenges that homebuilders face.

Quality Built® is credited with many industry firsts, and Luhr’s keen insight as a builder, business professional and construction consultant have provided the practical tools to develop exceptional risk mitigation strategies that are backed by experience and dedication to the homebuilding industry.
