Markham, Ontario, January 4, 2010 – Constellation Software Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, has announced the acquisition of Builder1440, a leading software company focused on the residential homebuilding industry. This acquisition includes Sales1440, a trusted and proven web-based sales solution for hundreds of home builders, as well as the consulting and staffing solutions of G.1440.
“We know this industry, and after evaluating several firms, it was clear that Builder1440 was more than a simple sales system,” says Dexter Salna, President of Constellation HomeBuilder Systems. “Builder1440’s software suite is a great choice for homebuilders that can’t afford to risk putting their business in the hands of old technology, limited solutions, or small family businesses that might not be around to support them tomorrow.”
Builder1440 will continue to operate and grow out of its Baltimore offices, under the same management team and will continue to promote and enhance its existing product line. Constellation welcomes all Builder1440 customers and will provide world-class solutions and services as a long term technology partner in the homebuilding industry.
“Constellation recognizes Builder1440’s commitment to our clients,” says Matt McShane, Vice President of Builder1440. “Throughout the downturn, we’ve been aggressively expanding our solutions with one goal in mind: to help builders sell more homes. Constellation shares that goal, and we’re excited to be a part of the Constellation family.”
Larry Fiorino, Builder1440 CEO and Founder added that Builder1440 is planning to announce several key initiatives and new offerings at the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, NV this January. “I can’t get into it yet, but we’re rolling out solutions that will completely change how builders sell homes,” said Fiorino.
With many of North America’s top 10 builders as clients, Builder1440’s cloud-based platform supports customers ranging from large national builders to smaller, regional builders, and everyone in between.
In addition to Builder1440, Constellation has acquired parent company G.1440, including Consulting Solutions and IT Staffing Services divisions that deliver End-to-End IT solutions. Specializing in custom software, web design, web marketing, and tech staffing, G.1440 will continue to be a leader in IT in the Baltimore/Washington region. G.1440 was founded in 1998 and was previously a subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group.
