Wattle & Daub Contractors was founded by Thomas Tisthammer in 1978. Its primary business was centered on commercial, industrial & institutional roofing until 1998 when a general contracting division was organized to provide additional services to existing clientele. In 1988, because of the vigorous competition in the roofing marketplace, Wattle & Daub asked Dr. Dean Kashiwagi of Arizona State University’s Performance Based Studies Research Group (PBSRG) to do its first evaluation of Wattle & Daub’s job performance. General manager and stockholder Byron McGough came aboard in 1999 and has directed the operations and growth of the GC unit by concentrating on historic preservation work. The performance survey of the historic preservation operations has just recently been completed. The results of surveys generated by PBSRG of both business units have been used as a feedback device to improve our business practices.
