Running a custom build on commercial software meant three tools, constant syncing, and schedules that fell a month behind. Ressio brought it into one place at a builder's price.
It's super affordable compared to where we were with Procore, and I'm really happy to see the improvements happen so quickly.
Sloane Construction is a custom builder running three to five active projects at a time.
They ran on Procore — software built for large commercial contractors, with the price and complexity to match. For a custom builder, that meant paying enterprise rates for a system that made everyday work harder than it needed to be.
Founder Jeremy Sloane made it work. But “making it work” was the problem.
Procore handled project management, but the day-to-day meant stitching three systems together.
With no native scheduling in Procore, the team built schedules in MS Project and synced them across. In practice, schedules got major updates monthly at best.
Proposals were built in WinEST, then exported and emailed — clunky for clients who do multiple projects a year.
Sign-offs were tracked digitally but hard to manage, and tracing why a budget changed took real digging.
Procore's cost is built for commercial-scale budgets, not custom residential builders.
Ressio replaced three tools with one platform built for custom builders.
Three tools in, one platform out.
Schedules live inside Ressio next to budgets and selections. No second system, no syncing.
Estimates are created and sent inside Ressio, with the ability to segment exactly what's included.
Every selection and the budget change it drives is tracked in one place.
Full functionality without commercial-software cost.
The biggest change is the hardest one to see on a feature list: everything happens in one place now, and the hours that used to disappear into syncing, exporting, and cross-referencing came back. Schedules stay current instead of falling a month behind, proposals fit how Sloane actually works, and budget changes explain themselves.
Instead of monthly MS Project syncs, schedules update as work happens.
Segmented proposals show exactly what's included, ideal for repeat clients.
A once-scattered process is now the clearest part of the project.
It's super affordable compared to where we were with Procore, and I'm really happy to see the improvements happen so quickly.
Jeremy had already built processes and skills in Claude before switching. With Ressio's Claude connection, that work now lives alongside the platform instead of running in parallel.
