Working with our team of award-winning Milwaukee area home builders, we will design and build a custom home that perfectly reflects your individuality, style, and way of life.

OUR PROCESS

Personalized Service & Precise Planning

Our design process thrives on collaboration. We won’t show you floor plans or renderings until we meet with you and listen to you. We’ll help you shape your ideas and give you feedback, but for a home to be designed specifically for you, we have to start with a blank page.

That’s what good design is. It starts with understanding your vision and designing a home that precisely matches that vision. When that picture becomes clear, we finish the design with floor plans, product choices, materials, colors, and all the fun "extras" that make your home uniquely yours.

Client Testimonials

Marx

I just wanted to send you a quick email now that our basement is essentially wrapped up and tell you how much we love it and also how great Larry & Dave have been to work with. Since I really dealt with Dave on a daily basis I wanted to pass along how organized and thorough he is. His follow through with every question we’ve had throughout the process was amazing. The rest of the team that we worked with up front were great to deal with as well (Jorie & Jorge).
I know we don’t always get to hear the good things about our employees or a project so I wanted to make it a point to let you know our experience was fantastic.
Thanks again for all the work done!

Dan Eckerman and his team are the best of the best. We used Ware to finish our new $36 million condo development, Fowler Lake Village, in Oconomowoc, WI, and are very pleased.

The quality of the finishes has been excellent, they have had creative ideas in the design journey and creative solutions to problems encountered in the process. We would recommend their services.

Home addition and remodel

We have worked with Ware Design Build on 2 major projects. One was a home addition and the other was an extensive remodel. We are extremely satisfied with our experience on both occasions. The quality of work is excellent. We couldn’t be happier with the results and do not hesitate to recommend Ware Design Build.

Bathroom remodel

Thanks to you and your staff for your work on our bathroom remodel project. The project turned out beautifully – just as we had envisioned. The tile work in the shower and flooring was exceptional and really added a touch of class to the finished master bathroom. We couldn’t be happier with the result of all your hard work.

Bathroom Remodel

Rebuild after a fire

Sadly, my home was destroyed in a fire that was a total loss. The Ware Design Group understood and helped me to best re-create a new construction to mirror my 1920's bungalow. I needed a construction group that could work with my schedule, budget, and timely requests, this company did all that for me kindly, professionally, and made no false promises.

Rebuild after a fire

In March of 2015 we had a house fire and lost everything. Ware Design Build met with us, gathered our ideas and had a set of house plans designed exactly as we had envisioned. Our expectations were not only met, they were exceeded every step of the way.

Lower Level Remodel

In late 2012, we purchased a 1 year old existing home built by Ware Design Build. When we decided to finish our lower level, we immediately thought of Ware. Our lower living area is just what we envisioned – a media center, dining, large bar with granite, a game area, an exercise room, a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

Bubrick

My husband and I could not be more pleased with Ware Design Build and the amazing team we worked with through the entire process of building our home. From the time of our initial meeting when the company's philosophy was shared with us, to the very final day when we received our occupancy certificate, we truly felt as though we were a family! When friends ask how we could ever go through the process of building a home because of the horror stories we all hear, we tell them we'd do it again as long as we had Ware Design Build along with us! They have the process down to a science and have perfected every part of it! On top of that, they truly made us feel like we were their only customers! We're HOME!!!!

We could not have been more satisfied with our experience with Ware for our complete condo remodel. From the initial design process through the completion of the project the Ware team was creative, diligent, thorough and professional in helping us to achieve our vision. We faced some challenges related to working with an older building and systems. Their expertise, problem-solving and communication was phenomenal. -Questions and concerns were addressed. -Every call was returned in a timely manner. -Quality contractors and vendors were utilized. -The team was flexible, dependable and followed-up quickly with concerns. Larry, Jorie, Justin and Jorge were truly extraordinary to work with! We appreciated their integrity, expertise and authenticity. It's our pleasure to recommend Ware Design Build with the highest regard.

Dan and I have known each other for over 30 years and have worked on numerous commercial projects together throughout the years, but this was our first residential partnership. From start to finish, Ware provided us with a successful home building experience based on honesty, integrity and professionalism.
From effectively communicating and working through issues timely and thoroughly, to following up during the post construction warranty period, their commitment to the success of the project was evident. Our special thanks to the entire Ware team for their tireless attentional to detail, quality of construction and providing our family with a beautiful home we are very proud of.
