Internet Reality Check
We all love the internet. It's a bottomless source of ideas and inspiration for any project, and most people wouldn't think of starting a new custom home before spending some serious time online. However, it’s a resource with its drawbacks. Read this post for ideas about how to avoid the most common mistakes when searching for ideas on the web.
Reducing the Cost of Regulation
Did the budget for your new home come in higher than you expected? Part of the reason may be that the fixed costs of building anything have gone up. Government rules take time, money, and skill to navigate. That's why you need a pro. Learn more in this blog post!
Rethinking Home
Did you know that the half-bath became popular in the years following the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic? That's because homeowners wanted to keep visitors' germs out of the main bath. Did you also realize that Modern interior design first took hold in America during the Great Depression? Although embraced by the wealthy, its emphasis on practicality and simplicity seemed appropriate for a time of general economic hardship.
Solving The Price Puzzle

The Perfect Kitchen
One of the many benefits of a new custom home is that the kitchen can be perfectly tailored to support how you cook and entertain. A first step to getting that result is to think through the space in detail before meeting with the architect or designer.
Considering the 'New' Home Office
Remote work arrangements have been on the upswing for a long time. Research firm Global Workplace Analytics figured in 2019 that there were 4.3 million telecommuters in the US or about 3.2% of the workforce. That was before a pandemic-related lockdown and nationwide civil unrest.
COVID19 - Health Concerns and Humidity Control?
Health and wellness have seized center stage in the homebuilding world. This year's coronavirus scare and lockdown made indoor air quality a top priority even among those who hadn't thought much about it before, and most industry pros expect it will still be a priority after the crisis. Not surprisingly, homebuyers are paying more attention to their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
