Case Study: Colina Homes triples home production while adding only one back-office employee with Constellation HomeBuilder Systems

Optimizing for Efficiency on the Path to Growth

Colina Homes, a rapidly growing Houston-based homebuilder led by President Ken Williams, was outgrowing its basic accounting software and spreadsheet-driven processes. The disconnected systems caused duplicated effort, data errors, and operational bottlenecks, so Colina Homes turned to Constellation HomeBuilder Systems and its NEWSTAR construction project management platform to provide a unified, enterprise-grade solution.

Constellation HomeBuilder Systems implemented NEWSTAR for Colina Homes in 2017, standardizing SOPs, automating electronic purchase orders and payments, and centralizing sales with the NEWSTAR Sales module. The results: production nearly tripled in five years—rising from 190 homes in 2016 to 613 in 2021—an increase of over 400 homes while adding just one back-office employee, plus the generation of roughly 850 contracts annually, tighter vendor relations, and reliable month-to-month support from Constellation.
