Meader Constructions: Efficiency and Trust with Witzer

Ben Meader started his building business after his apprenticeship, eventually shifting from hands-on work to office management as the company grew. His partner, Lisa, joined full-time, forming a family business that initially struggled with separating work and home life due to constant demands.

Their biggest challenge was the fear of non-payment, often resulting from clients claiming the final product didn't match their vision or simply running out of funds, leading to costly disputes.

The adoption of the Witzer app revolutionised their operations. By centralising all project information, it significantly reduced time spent on after-hours client communications and decreased internal queries from Lisa about progress payments. This allowed Ben to focus on crucial business tasks.

They highly value Witzer's holding account feature. They state that seeing client funds committed there mitigates payment risk and transforms potential legal battles (like going to QBCC) into simple communication and negotiation to work through minor details. Furthermore, they believe encouraging clients to place deposits in the Witzer account builds trust, demonstrating that Meader Constructions is financially secure and invested in the project.
