Struggling with time-consuming processes and project bottlenecks, Waldecker Homes needed a better way to manage its growing custom home business. Discover how they doubled revenue, cut project management time in half, and improved client satisfaction—all by switching to Ressio’s powerful construction software.
Waldecker Homes: A Lakefront Custom Home Builder
Waldecker Homes is a residential construction company specializing in lake-front custom home building and renovations. Founded by Blake Waldecker, the company started as a one-person operation handling everything from client communication to on-site project management. Over the past year, they have successfully expanded, hiring two full-time employees, increasing their project capacity - all while improving efficiency with Ressio’s project management software.
The Challenge of Managing Custom Home Construction Projects
As a small construction business, Waldecker Homes faced several common growing pains:
- Time-consuming manual processes for estimating, scheduling, and budget tracking
- Struggles to scale operations without sacrificing quality
With increasing demand for their services, Blake needed a solution that could streamline project management, improve collaboration, and allow the business to grow sustainably.
How Ressio Helped Streamline Construction Management
Before Ressio, Blake spent hours searching through emails, spreadsheets, and physical folders just to provide a single update to a client.
Then, in September of 2023, Waldecker Homes implemented Ressio’s project management software. With features designed specifically for custom home builders and remodelers, the platform provided:
✅ Centralized Project Management – A single software to track all active jobs, timelines, and budgets.
✅ Seamless Communication – Built-in messaging and document-sharing to keep subcontractors, employees, and clients aligned.
✅ Accurate Estimating & Budgeting – Easy-to-use estimating & budgeting tools that allowed financial information to be delivered to clients faster and more accurately
The Results: Increased Efficiency, Profitability & Business Growth
After one year of using Ressio, Waldecker Homes saw dramatic improvements in efficiency and business growth:
📈 2x Business Growth – Increase in projects and revenue led to hiring two full-time employees
⏳ 50% Time Savings – Reduced manual data entry in the estimating process allowed Blake to focus more on client relationships
💰 Improved Profitability – More accurate estimates and budget tracking minimized costly overruns.
😊 Happier Clients – Improved communication and transparency enhanced customer satisfaction
Today, clients can access their project’s budget, schedule, and daily logs–in real time. “The ability for customers to check everything without waiting for an email has been a game-changer,” says Blake.
