Proficient Builder(TM) Introduced as First Web-Based, “Pay-As-You Close” Technology for Home Builders
DALLAS, Sept. 30, 2009 — SSG Limited of Dallas announced today that it is collaborating with home builders to deliver Proficient Builder(TM), the first comprehensive Web-based system alternative for home builders. Unlike many industries where suppliers and their customers have benefited from using the Internet to cut costs and enhance the buying process, the home building industry has not yet realized those benefits.
With twenty plus years experience installing multiple systems in construction companies across the U.S., home building industry veteran Chuck Blaylock knows current home building systems simply do not work with the reality of industry processes. Mr. Blaylock combined forces with SSG, Ltd. to rethink technology for home builders and to launch Proficient Builder(TM). SSG has a 12-year track record of developing custom software and a reputation for quality so strong that the company offers the SSG Satisfaction Guarantee(TM).
The slump in the housing market is the perfect opportunity for home builders to step back and evaluate where they are leaking profits. “To emerge from the recession with a leaner operating model and upgraded technology is the best outcome for a home builder,” said Steve Steinheimer, CEO of SSG, Ltd. “Making significant upfront investments in a new system is no longer necessary in other industries, home builders need the same benefits.”
Home Builder Collaboration: Foundation Team
Proficient Builder(TM) has established what it calls a Foundation Team. Experienced home builders are invited to be part of shaping the new Web-based software solution. Just like clients who enter neighborhoods early get the best lots, Foundation Team members are provided with incentives in exchange for their input. “As a home builder, I could envision how Web technology would improve operations for my company, but I had not actually seen it in action until I saw Proficient Builder(TM),” said Ron Formby, President and CEO of Antares Homes. “Being on the Foundation Team, I can influence the direction and the priority of different features.”
Founded in 1997, SSG, Ltd. provides technology services to businesses. SSG is a winner of the 2008 and 2009 Best Places to Work Award from the Dallas Business Journal and nominee for the Metroplex Technology Business Council Tech Titan Awards.
