About

Built by listening.

Waypoint starts with the people doing the work. Their challenges, their workflows, and their time.

Founder & Owner

Owen Brandt

I'm Owen Brandt, a young entrepreneur and the founder of Brandt Industries. I'm building Waypoint because general contractors deserve budget-friendly software that understands how they actually work.

Through Almquist, I've been able to visit jobsites, connect with general contractors, and see the bigger picture of what it takes to bring a project together. Those conversations shape Waypoint: user-friendly, fully customizable software tailored to contractors and their efficiency.

Partnership

Brandt Industries × Almquist

Almquist is a development and investment company that has opened the door to real construction experience. Through our partnership, I've been able to spend time on jobsites, hear directly from general contractors, and better understand the whole project—not just the paperwork.

Where we're headed.
