OUR HISTORY

Liberty Lane, New Berlin, WI
Liberty Lane, New Berlin, WI

The journey of Ware Design Build began in 1978, when Steve and Cheri Ware, a passionate husband and wife team, set out to design and build custom homes and remodel projects in the Delafield area. Their dedication and vision laid the foundation for a company that would become synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design.

As time went on, Steve Ware fell ill, leading the couple to sell the company to a local residential painter. This company ran Ware Design for four years, during which they discovered the challenges of operating a successful general contracting business.

In search of a solution, a mutual friend introduced the painting contractor to Dan Eckerman, the owner of Venture Construction Group, a well-established commercial construction firm in Southeastern Wisconsin. Dan saw the immense potential in Ware Design Build and decided to acquire the company, making it the residential division of Venture Construction Group.

Venture had already built a number of homes for some of their commercial clients, and Dan, the owner, had personally built two of his own homes. Recognizing a need for a full-service design-build residential contractor that operated with the same efficiency, professionalism, and transparency as a commercial contractor, Dan set out to redefine the home-building experience in Wisconsin.

It has never been Venture's goal to be the largest contractor, but rather to remain a smaller firm that truly provides exceptional customer service at competitive prices. Dan wanted Ware Design Build to operate the same way. By focusing on quality, transparency, and stellar service, he believed that their exceptional service and reputation would generate additional work and referrals, setting them apart from the competition.

Today, Ware Design Build stands as a testament to the enduring vision of its founders and the dedication of its team. By merging the rich history of Ware Design Build with the expertise and resources of Venture Construction Group, we continue to push the boundaries of custom home design and construction in Wisconsin.
