  • Such great info - one of a kind

    Really glad you switched back to this format of answering relevant questions for people considering building a custom home.

    I just found this show and it is fantastic. There is no one else putting out this type of quality information for people considering building a custom home. I am in the process of listening to all past episodes with a notepad and pen. I don’t know if builders realize how important it is to put out content that shows their personality and skill to would-be customers but T... more

  • Best custom home podcast

    I found this podcast when my Husband and I were in our due diligence period on a lot we were looking to buy. This podcast was a wealth of information, from learning how the appreciation of our land could be used toward our construction loan down payment, to how to choose a builder and whether or not to use an architect. Now that we are moving forward with our build, this new room-by-room season is a GIFT! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Dream to Reality: Wrapping Up Pre-Construction Planning
Q: What happens after the construction contract is signed?
The lender begins the due-diligence and loan closing process, while the builder mobilizes and prepares the site so that construction can start as soon as the loan is in place.
Value Engineering: Smarter Design, Same Dream Home
Q: When do you recommend starting the value engineering process?
Begin before the design work starts, with a clear budget and plan; then bring in architects to align floor plans and elevations with that budget, continuously evaluating cost implications as plans evolve.
Value Engineering: Smarter Design, Same Dream Home
Q: Myth or reality? Sacrificing quality or cutting corners?
It is a myth. The process focuses on saving money without sacrificing quality or the overall design and finish, aiming for a balanced outcome.
Good Bones Defined: What Happens In the Framing Stage of a Custom Home Build
Q: How do you handle problems that arise during framing?
We document everything meticulously and present several concrete options with pricing when possible, then work with the client and project team to select the best path forward.
Modern Mountain vs. Modern Farmhouse | 20 Houses for 20 Years
Q: What are the most important features that you included in the design, functionality, and lifestyle of the home?
