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.

Are the decorative post you have between the living room and kitchen for decorative purposes or are they for load bearing?

    Thank you for your interest! They are load bearing.

    How wide are the columns? I will need similar load bearing columns with a 9 foot ceiling and think your columns look perfectly proportioned for the space. Thank you in advance for your help.
