About

The Wausau History story originated as a dairy route in rural Marathon County Wisconsin. The Schuette Brothers used profits from that modest milk route to purchase a sawmill, where raw timbers were processed into framing lumber.

For 50 years, Wausau Homes has perfected a system of homebuilding that has revolutionized the industry: Controlled construction. It’s a system of finished components that can be easily transported and erected at the job site. The system is now widely used by hundreds of homebuilders because its value is not only in cost containment and speed, but also in quality control and engineering excellence.

Integrating the technologies of computerization in architectural engineering and manufacturing, Wausau Homes can customize each house according to the individual homebuyer’s design. We work exclusively with independent professional builders in local markets because they know the local laws and regulations, they have established relationships with reputable subcontractors in the area, and they are the most suited to do the best job for you.
