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 house is 35 feet or less at the ridge from the ground. The front wall is about 20'-6" high to the top of gutter. The roof pitch is 14/12 but tricks are required to span the depth of the house without the roof getting beyond the height limit and proportional relationships.
