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.

    Sorry, it is not bamboo being used on the island. It is however bamboo on he floor. he island is reclaimed 2X6 rafters from the roof we dismantled. I believe they are spruce/pine. They were milled probably about 100 years ago from virgin trees so the wood was very dense.
