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 board-formed concrete, meaning that the formwork was lined with cedar boards as was done before plywood was used. Thanks for asking. DA.

    I love that look too. The Washington State Convention Center is a great example of board-formed concrete. Thanks for posting.

    We have created tiles and panels that can give you this look where it was not previously possible. Our product is light weight concrete so you are getting concrete not another material trying to look like concrete. The end result is is a very authentic looking poured in place structure. I love how this wall carries through, it is project like this that inspired us to create our tile and panels. Contact me for more information and please check out our photos here on Houzz. We ship worldwide! lise@2stone.ca
