Construction Management Software Provider HomeFront Opens Office in Texas

Construction Management Software Provider HomeFront Opens Office in Texas

HomeFront Software™, provider of construction management software to home builders and contractors throughout Canada and the U.S., has announced the opening of a new office in San Antonio, Texas. In addition, the company has hired contracting and home building software veteran Tim Wellings to lead the company’s expansion into the active Texas construction market.

HomeFront provides construction management software designed for custom, semi-custom, and production home builders. Their integrated home building software consolidates multiple systems across departments and eliminates duplicate data entry through its unique ability to manage sales, CRM, estimating, purchasing, scheduling, and service & warranty in one easy-to-use system.

Daryl Shenner, HomeFront Software CEO, says the Texas construction market is a natural fit for the Calgary-based company. “Texas is similar to Alberta with oil and gas money keeping their regional economies dynamic and growing. In fact, Dallas and Calgary were first compared to one another in the 1980s when both cities first experienced rapid growth. It’s a market dynamic that we’re familiar with.”

Shenner notes Welling’s background makes him the ideal point man for leading HomeFront’s introduction in the region. “Tim has the background for launching our home building software in a new market -- an executive at multiple home building companies, construction management software consulting experience, and familiarity with growing contracting companies and environments. When you add his existing professional network to the mix, it’s easy to see him leading a successful expansion with a positive impact on the Texas home building and construction market.”

Shenner also revealed that HomeFront’s Texas initiative is the first step in its long-term strategy for continued growth throughout the U.S., with Phoenix and the West Coast targeted for future expansion.
