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.

    The roof is a shingle style clay roof tile we had made in France. There are 6 different size tiles which differ in length and width used to create the look. The idea was to create a roof which appears aged as early in it's life as possible. Thanks for asking!
