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.

    It was a prefabricated metal braced framed building. Typically called a Butler building in So Cal. The birch plywood was used instead of gypsum board as interior sheathing.
