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.

    That is a Phormium, New Zealand Flax. There are many varieties, size and colors, so make sure you choose one that meets the size you desire. Some can get quite large. One of my favorities is Phormium 'Black Adder' that grows to about 4' tall.
