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.

We are building an east facing house with north and south views. The land is steep and faces east design is similar but we may orient clerestory windows south

    Hi - thanks for your feedback on our work. This home is oriented northeast. We allowed lots of natural light on entrance side with reverse shed entry with lots of windows.
