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.

    Not at all. I went to great lengths to make sure this basement was column free. Then the interior designer came in and added all of these fake barn wood beams and columns. Everything you see in this photo that is constructed of barn wood is hollow and serves no structural purpose.
