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.

This beautiful house seems to be built completely of concrete. What kind of insulation do you have? Is this house habitable only in the summer?

    The house is used year-round and employs a closed cell spray foam insulation on the inside face of the concrete which creates a kind of thermal liner around all of the interior spaces.
