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.

    Thanks!. The pillars are wood framed from 2x4's with a smooth hand trowelled finish stucco. The pillars are chamfered at the corners. The top of the pillar has a ceramic tile band. The arches were inspired by Arabic architecture from our travels in Morocco.
