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.

    Except for the trailer, the only windows (2 round, one square) are located in the bathroom. All the other rooms, including the Loft (tower) are enclosed with screen material. The Loft is intended as a private sleeping porch; however, the I think the owner's sons just consider it fun.
