Solving the Skilled Labor Gap in Custom Home Building with CNC | Bespoke of Montana
In this customer spotlight, we head to Billings, Montana, to visit Bespoke of Montana, a company specializing in custom homes and residential remodels. For years, they struggled with the same issues plaguing the construction industry: a lack of skilled labor, damaged products from big-box cabinet stores, and 3-week delays that frustrated clients.
To take back control of their quality and lead times, they invested in a ShopSabre CNC router. The founder explains why he bypassed limitations of handheld and desktop CNCs to invest in an industrial-sized machine, and how it completely replaced their manual table saw and routing setups.
He also shares his experience with ShopSabre’s U.S.-based tech support—including getting assistance on a Saturday morning and having our technicians log in remotely to help solve a CAD design issue. If you are a custom home builder or remodeler dealing with the skilled labor gap, this video proves why bringing your manufacturing in-house is the ultimate game changer.
