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.

    Hi, so glad you like it! That is board form concrete. The process involved superimposing a wood grain onto the concrete. Hope this helps!

      Love the materials and colors! Was the board-formed concrete wall a full typical 8"-10" thicks like a true structural wall or did you create more of a veneer or panels with the concrete process?

      What did you coat the block with to make it appear that shade of gray/metalic

      That is board form concrete. The color comes from superimposing a wood grain onto the concrete.

      What would you call the style of this house? It’s very beautiful.
