About
Dan Eckerman runs Venture Construction Group from New Berlin, the commercial general contractor he has steered as president while also owning residential design-build affiliate Ware Design Build.
Company and owner letters put more than 30 years of Milwaukee-area construction behind him, with a UW–Madison bachelor’s in construction management on the Venture executive bio.
In 2018 BizTimes reported Venture’s acquisition of Delafield’s Ware Design Build: the deal closed March 1 that year, Ware’s staff moved into Venture’s New Berlin offices, and headcount was then about 17 as Eckerman expanded the facility into a residential showroom. Ware’s owner message still presents him as owner of both companies and emphasizes commercial-style cost transparency on custom homes.
Both brands still route clients to the New Berlin commercial campus. Eckerman remains the public face of a dual commercial-and-residential platform built under his ownership, with the suburb as the operating base for both companies.
