Meet Ressio: Current Custom Homes’ Construction Project Tracker

Building a custom home is a major investment, and we believe homeowners deserve to know what is happening throughout the construction process.

What happened at the house today? Are we still on schedule? Which selections have been approved? What did that change order cost? What happens next?

At Current Custom Homes, clear communication, transparent budgeting and an organized construction process are a major part of the experience we provide as a Texas Hill Country custom home builder.

That is why we use Ressio, our custom home construction project tracking and management platform.

Ressio helps us keep schedules, construction updates, selections, change orders, budgets, invoices, documents, photos and client communication organized in one connected system. It also gives homeowners convenient access to the project information we choose to share.

A Better Custom Home Building Experience Starts with Communication

There are thousands of individual details involved in building a custom home.

Architectural plans. Engineering. Permits. Site work. Selections. Allowances. Purchase orders. Subcontractors. Inspections. Schedule changes. Invoices. Change orders. Photographs.

And, of course, thousands of decisions and conversations along the way.

Without the right system, important information can quickly become scattered between emails, text messages, spreadsheets, photographs and paper documents.

We believe there is a better way to build.

Our Texas Hill Country Design-Build process is built around coordination from concept through completion. Ressio gives the Current Custom Homes team one central construction management system while providing homeowners with a clearer view into their custom home project.

Through Ressio, homeowners can access shared schedules, daily logs, project files, selections, approvals, change orders, invoices and other information associated with their build.

Track Your Custom Home Construction Schedule

One of the most common questions during construction is:

“What happens next?”

A custom home construction schedule involves dozens of interconnected phases and hundreds of individual tasks.

Site preparation has to happen before the foundation. Framing follows the slab. Rough mechanical, electrical and plumbing work must be coordinated before insulation and drywall. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, trim, paint and fixtures all have their place in the schedule.

Ressio allows our construction team to organize those phases, tasks, target dates and dependencies within the project's construction schedule.

We can then provide our homeowners visibility into the appropriate portions of that schedule.

Instead of wondering where their project stands, clients can have a better understanding of what has been completed, what is happening now and what is coming next.

Construction will always have moving pieces. Weather, inspections, material availability and subcontractor coordination can affect individual dates.

The difference is visibility.

Our goal isn't to pretend construction never changes.

Our goal is to communicate clearly when it does.

Follow Construction Progress With Daily Logs and Photos

Some of the best moments of a custom home build happen when the homeowner isn't at the jobsite.

The foundation is poured.

Walls suddenly appear.

Windows arrive.

The roof goes on.

Stone begins transforming the exterior.

Cabinets are installed.

Tile starts going in.

The home begins looking less like a construction project and more like the place you've imagined.

Ressio allows our construction team to create daily logs that can include construction notes, photos, files, crews, deliveries and other jobsite information.

When those updates are shared with the homeowner, they become part of the project's client-facing record.

That is particularly valuable for homeowners building a second home, lake house, ranch property or relocation home in the Texas Hill Country who may not be able to visit the jobsite every day.

You shouldn't need to be standing on the property to feel connected to your build.

You can also explore examples of our completed and active Texas Hill Country custom home projects to see the variety of homes and properties our team works on.

Keep Custom Home Selections Organized

Selections are one of the most exciting parts of designing and building a custom home.

They're also one of the easiest areas for a project to become complicated.

Cabinets.

Countertops.

Flooring.

Tile.

Plumbing fixtures.

Lighting.

Appliances.

Doors.

Hardware.

Paint colors.

Exterior materials.

The list gets long quickly.

Ressio allows selections to be organized and presented to homeowners for review and approval. Due dates can also be attached to selections so important decisions are made when needed to keep construction moving.

Once a selection is approved, there is a digital record of that decision.

So six months later, when someone asks:

“Which tile did we approve for the primary bathroom?”

We aren't searching through hundreds of old text messages trying to figure it out.

The information is connected to the project.

Clearer Custom Home Change Orders

Changes are a normal part of custom home construction.

Sometimes a homeowner discovers an upgraded material they love.

Sometimes a feature is added.

Sometimes a design evolves once the homeowner can physically walk through the space.

A change itself doesn't need to create confusion.

The important part is making sure everyone clearly understands:

What is changing?

What will it cost?

Was it approved?

When was it approved?

Ressio allows change orders to be created from project information and sent electronically to clients for review and approval.

Approvals can be recorded and timestamped, creating a clear history of the decision. Approved changes can then be reflected in the project's financial information.

For Current Custom Homes, this is an important part of maintaining the transparent custom home construction process we want our clients to experience.

Better Construction Budget Visibility

Building a custom home is a significant financial investment.

We believe homeowners deserve clarity around that investment.

Current Custom Homes emphasizes detailed budget planning and transparent billing throughout our construction process, and Ressio gives our team another tool to keep that financial information organized.

Depending on the project and information being shared, Ressio can provide homeowners access to budget information, approved changes, invoices and payment history.

Selections and approved change orders can also be connected with the project's financial information.

The result is a clearer record of how decisions made during construction affect the overall project.

Nobody enjoys financial surprises during a custom home build.

Detailed planning, documentation and communication allow both the builder and homeowner to make better decisions before a small issue becomes a large one.

Construction Communication That Doesn't Get Lost

Text messaging isn't necessarily the problem.

Email isn't necessarily the problem.

The problem comes six months later when you're trying to remember where an important construction decision was made.

Was it in an email?

A text?

A conversation on the jobsite?

A photograph?

A group message?

Ressio allows project information, documents, approvals, photos and communication to remain associated with the construction project.

Homeowners can also use the platform to communicate with their builder and share project-related photos, files and links.

That gives our team and our clients a much better record of the decisions being made throughout construction.

Our goal isn't simply more communication.

It's better communication.

Access Your Custom Home Project From Your Phone

Good construction technology should make things easier — not give homeowners another complicated system they have to learn.

Ressio's client portal can be accessed from a phone, tablet or computer. Its current portal uses secure link access, allowing homeowners to get to project information without constantly managing another password or downloading another app.

Depending on the project, clients may have access to:

• Construction schedule information

• Daily logs

• Progress photos

• Project documents

• Selections and approvals

• Change orders

• Budget information

• Invoices

• Project communication

  
  

Your custom home may be one of the largest investments you ever make.

Being able to conveniently check its progress shouldn't be complicated.

Technology Should Make Custom Home Building More Personal — Not Less

At Current Custom Homes, we don't use technology to replace the relationship between our homeowners and their construction team.

We use technology to improve that relationship.

You're still going to talk with us.

You're still going to walk the house with us.

We're still going to discuss details together.

You're still going to meet the people responsible for building your home.

And when something needs attention, you're still going to have a real person you can call.

Ressio simply gives all of us a better system for organizing the enormous amount of information created during a custom home build.

It allows technology to handle more of the organization so our team can spend more time doing what actually matters:

Building your home.

Why Construction Project Management Matters When Choosing a Custom Home Builder

When comparing custom home builders, it's natural to focus on finished photographs.

And craftsmanship absolutely matters.

But homeowners should also ask potential builders:

How will you communicate with me during construction?

How do you manage the construction schedule?

How are selections documented?

How will I approve change orders?

How do you track my budget?

How will I know what's happening at my house?

Where are important project documents stored?

A beautiful finished home is the goal.

But the experience of building it matters too.

The systems operating behind the scenes can have an enormous impact on how smoothly that experience goes.

That's why Current Custom Homes continues investing in better processes, better technology and better communication.
