Testimonials

We are thrilled to recommend Todd Drummond Consulting to any business looking to shake off stagnation and achieve new heights of success. Todd’s expertise and guidance helped us think outside the box and simplify our processes, bringing clarity to our operations. His unique outsider perspective allowed us to see things from a fresh angle, and his ability to keep us focused on the daily essentials that we often lose sight of was invaluable.

Todd’s consulting services have been a game-changer for our company. He helped us identify areas for improvement and provided actionable solutions that have significantly impacted our productivity and efficiency. His expertise has given us the tools we need to stay ahead of the competition and achieve our goals. Thank you, Todd, for your expertise and guidance.

The market and competition is growing more challenging, and we must stay competitive. Our truss plant was struggling in several areas, so we hired Todd Drummond to come in and assess our truss operation to help get us a game plan together to improve our operation and help us develop a growth plan.

This investment was well spent because we learned so much in just a short time. Todd walked us through the things we needed to change immediately, why we needed to change them, and things we would need to change or improve as we grow. After the consultation, we went right to work changing the things he recommended, and the results have been a huge value increase in our operations.

We recently had Drummond Consulting do a consultation at our Truss Plant. Todd’s services included plant efficiency, design efficiency, better organization, man minutes per truss type, and more. The value of Todd’s presentation and lean training was very beneficial to each of our team members. Just implementing a few of Todd’s suggestions will more than pay for his services in a short amount of time.

The value and benefits of Drummond Consulting will continue our improvement in the market while urging him not to consult with our competitors!

I’ve been reading Todd’s articles for the last few years and have been intrigued by his view of productivity measures, so I decided to hire him to learn more about his philosophy. It was an investment well spent because I not only learned a completely different way to view labor metrics, but I came out of it with a completely different mindset on pricing, scheduling, and staffing.

I highly recommend Todd’s services to take your company to the next level. The most valuable information you can get is the information you don’t know you need.

We first brought Todd in for a week in the summer of 2019 to assess our operation. We were looking to make investments in upgrades but felt that someone like Todd would know where to spend the money first. After reviewing every inch of the operation, we decided on a game plan. Everything from personnel changing their responsibilities, to estimating, to design, to production – Todd had a way to make it better.

We were turning out good numbers on the top line, but the margins just were not there. Todd showed what we needed to do in order to make things better. Todd gave us a long list of ideas and upgrades that we could do all at once, a piece at a time or not at all. After sitting with him and putting together a plan, we put our cash to work investing in upgrades to the plant and the saws. We rearranged table setups, improved workflow, and after nine months of planning and executing, brought Todd back for a review and give us another evaluation.

He was very impressed with what we had changed in a short amount of time, and we have seen the margins grow significantly. His ideas from years of experience have proven invaluable. Everything we did made our efficiencies better. We did not have the money to do all the suggestions, but we put a plan in place that prioritized what we needed first. As we scale up, we have the roadmap of what to do when we hit our milestones so as to continue growing.

We highly recommend Todd Drummond Consulting to anyone that is in the truss business. Even if you think you have it all figured out, which we knew we did not, he can make things better. Call him, get to spend a week with you it will be the best money you have ever spent.

Lampasas Building Components (LBC) manufactures roof and floor trusses. Since its beginnings in 1978, family-owned and managed LBC has had decades of knowledge to draw upon to satisfy our customer’s needs while manufacturing at peak performance. But when you are caught up in the day-to-day business, it is hard to see things differently to get higher performance. We were ready to make some needed equipment purchases to meet today’s challenges and growing demands, but we needed some unbiased advisement before we did that. We met Todd Drummond at a Builder’s Show and decided to see what he had to say.

Todd Drummond spent a week at our facility in Central Texas. He methodically walked us through every part of our business and practices tailoring the information to meet our specific needs. He provided us recommendations on all aspects of our business to improve everything from pricing, sales, and manufacturing.

Over the past year, we have implemented most of Todd’s manufacturing suggestions and have seen remarkable improvements. There are still a couple of recommendations of Todd’s that we would like to implement in the upcoming year.

If anyone thinks Todd will give you only enough information for a few areas, you will be pleasantly surprised by the in-depth details and his knowledge to help you with your company. We are a great company, and Todd definitely helped make us better. We highly recommend his services, which are well worth the investment of your time and money.

From A to Z, Todd is a wealth of information about component manufacturing. No matter how good you think you are, I would challenge anyone if you didn’t find ways to improve your bottom line with his services. He is honest and direct in his assessment. You may not like all that you hear, but his training and commonsense approach will have you convinced in short order.

An action plan of continuous improvement is a necessity in a highly competitive market, and he will help your group create a process improvement plan that will make a real definite improvement for all departments for an immediate implementation instead of taking months or years. We are excited to implement many of Todd’s training and recommendations.

Todd is well worth the investment many times over.

Here at Huskey’s, we have been a part of the LBM market for over 70 years. The component division is a big part of our services, and like all areas, we are always looking for improvement. So, we enlisted Todd’s services, which have been widely recognized in the industry as an expert for improvement in all areas of the truss and wall panel manufacturing process.

Some of the areas that we saw an immediate improvement with Todd’s help were the time standards for proper truss fabrication labor estimation which is far superior to board footage units. Also, we gained the knowledge of true costing, which is priceless information to have in these ever-competitive markets which we serve. Improvement in plant efficiency and production flow seemed to be Todd’s easiest areas to offer advisement that gave us immediate results that we are very pleased with. Todd and our production manager went a long way in changing our production flow on our panel production side.

The way Todd performs his services and communicates allowed us to enjoy bouncing information and ideas off each other, and it helped strengthen and create teamwork with everyone. If you are looking for someone to offer sound advice for improving the efficiencies, capacity, and profitability, I cannot recommend Todd’s Services enough.

We hired Todd Drummond to consult with us this past week (Jan 2019) to evaluate our components business.  We knew of him in the past but were warned by a few that he might be arrogant, and a sort of a know it all kind of personality.  This negative view of his character couldn’t be further from the truth.  We found him to be very knowledgeable, concise, approachable and very easy to converse with on all topics.  He listened to our concerns and addressed all of our questions.  Given some of the more complex subjects, he took the time to go over the details until we understood.  At the end of the week, we found we had literally been given hundreds of ideas and suggestions to take our facilities to the next level.  We also discussed our equipment needs, wants, and he helped us sort through each of these.

I highly recommend Todd and his services…..especially if you are outside of my market area!!

If you want transparency and honesty, combined with plenty of common-sense suggestions and expertise for improving your operation’s bottom line, we highly recommend Todd’s services.

Todd’s training answered many questions we had and validated some of our current practices while shedding light on others.

Thank you, Todd!

We wanted to thank you for working with us continuously. Your expertise in this industry will be greatly beneficial to us as a company as we continue to grow this relationship. We look forward to the future and are excited to have someone with your knowledge working with us.
