What our customers are saying
BuildTopia is pretty easy to use. We run our entire business through it. Without it, we back to spreadsheets and phone calls.
— Guy Dark, Vice President of Purchasing
NHLS has been a game changer for our marketing department! The team at NHLS has worked tirelessly to make sure we were able to integrate our website with our builder management system … We were able to easily communicate with the team our specific use case scenarios and the output was an intuitive, user-friendly software that makes the daily workload as home builder marketing professionals much easier!
— Whitney Pryor, Inbound Marketing Manager
We are excited for the 3 year partnership with NHLS. We see the long term potential for this web destination and feel it fills a void for consumers in the market place. We at Red Tree believe this will help us connect with the new buyers marketplace on a different level than we are used to. It's going to be an exciting 3 years!
— Brett Taylor, CEO/Founder
My team at Opus Homes is incredibly impressed with NEWSTAR Design Studio Manager software. As a home builder, a segment of our business revolves around our Decor Studio. The "wish list" feature really helped narrow down exactly what our clients wanted for their home based on price, aesthetics and overall appeal.

Our Design Consultants have now completed 100 charts with ease and ability to create addendums while performing color appointment. This has been made so easily accessible with Design Studio Manager.
