My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is there a good downdraft cooktop for serious cooks?

    I ended up getting a separate unit because the downdraft built into cook tops are not very good. I got the KitchenAid retractible downdraft system. it was a pain to install, but works great. be sure you read the installation manuals thoroughly to ensure you have enough room and then have it professionally installed.
