Wisconsin's leading high-performance homebuilder, Tim O'Brien Homes, is attacking head-on the market's uncertainty and buyer hesitation challenge. 💥 President Daniel Lowery tells The Builder's Daily: “Buyers are a little more skittish… The lack of visualization, the lack of certainty of what they’re buying, as well as the timeframe.” 🔥 By embedding Higharc into their sales and design workflow, customers now arrive with plans in hand — cutting sales cycles from months to weeks, boosting confidence, and reducing downstream errors.
