Built for the way custom builders actually work
Every feature in Ressio was designed around the realities of custom home building — not generic project management. That means tools that actually fit your estimating process, your client relationships, and the way your jobs move.

Estimate with confidence. Win jobs at the right price.
Ressio's estimating engine is built around your cost catalog, so you're never starting from scratch or second-guessing unit costs from memory. Build detailed, assembly-based estimates that account for labor, materials, subs, and overhead — then see your margin in real time before you ever send a proposal. When costs change, updating your estimate takes seconds, not hours.
- Pre-built cost catalog you can customize to your market and trade mix
- Assembly-based estimating so you build once, reuse everywhere
- Instant margin visibility as you build the estimate
- Convert approved estimates directly into a live project budget
Client sees
Send proposals that close deals — and set the right expectations.
A polished proposal is often the difference between winning a custom home job and losing it to a competitor who looks more professional. Ressio generates branded, itemized proposals directly from your estimate with e-signature built in, so clients can review, ask questions, and sign without a single back-and-forth email. You'll know the moment they've opened it.
- Branded proposals generated automatically from your estimate
- E-signature and approval built in — no DocuSign required
- Real-time open/view notifications
- Proposal templates for different project types and price points
3 cm slab, polished edge. Includes template, fabrication, and install.
Give clients a window into the job — and stop the daily check-in calls.
Custom home clients are emotionally invested and want to feel informed. The Ressio client portal gives them a real-time view of schedule progress, selections, approvals, and documents — without ever giving them access to your internal numbers. When clients can see what's happening, they call less and trust more.
- Client-facing portal with live schedule and milestone updates
- Selections and approval workflows clients can complete from their phone
- Shared document library for plans, specs, and contracts
- Branded experience with your company logo and colors
Know exactly where you stand financially — on every job, all the time.
The biggest risk in custom home building isn't winning the job — it's losing the margin after you're in the ground. Ressio tracks budget vs. actuals at the line-item level so you catch overruns before they compound. Every bill, change order, and payment is tied back to your original estimate, giving you a clear picture of job cost at any moment.
- Real-time budget vs. actuals tied to your estimate breakdown
- Change orders automatically update the budget and client contract
- Bill and PO tracking against each budget line
- QuickBooks sync keeps your books accurate without double-entry

Frequently asked questions
Ressio is built for residential GCs and custom builders doing anywhere from 3 to 50+ homes per year. If you're running custom homes or high-end renovations and you're feeling the pain of disconnected tools — spreadsheets for estimating, email for client communication, QuickBooks for bills — Ressio is likely a strong fit. We have customers doing 2 homes a year and customers doing 40.
No — Ressio is designed to work alongside QuickBooks, not replace it. Your bookkeeper or accountant can keep using QuickBooks for tax prep, payroll, and financial reporting. Ressio handles the job-level detail: estimates, budgets, bills, POs, change orders, and invoices. The two sync automatically, so you're never double-entering data.
Ressio uses an assembly-based estimating approach — you build up a cost catalog of your most common line items (labor rates, material costs, sub pricing), then assemble estimates from those building blocks. You can start from a template, import from a previous job, or build from scratch. Margin is calculated automatically as you go, and once the client approves, you convert the estimate directly into your project budget.
The client portal is designed to give clients just enough visibility to feel informed without exposing your internal cost details. They can see the project schedule and milestone progress, pending and approved selections, shared documents and plans, and any open change orders awaiting their signature. You control exactly what they see.
Yes. The Ressio mobile app lets your supers and project managers access plans, log daily progress, submit time entries, and communicate with the office from any job site. It works on iOS and Android and is designed for people who spend more time outside than at a desk.
Most builders are running their first project in Ressio within a week of signing up. Onboarding includes a guided setup call where we help you import your cost catalog, configure your templates, and walk through the estimating and client portal workflow. Ongoing support is same-day by chat or phone.
