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.

Question for builders

6 years ago

So im a young guy hoping to buy some land in rural michigan in a few years. I don't have any experience in building so forgive me if these are stupid questions. Is it feasible to build a house above a large garage? Or is it usually cheaper and easier to build it all on ground level?
