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.

I want to build my own house. Is it too much (as in too showy) to have a basement, main floor, an upstairs, then another upstairs?
