Description
On today’s episode of the Build Show, I’m joined once again by my COO Steve Lesem to discuss all about the business side of building and more comprehensively, how we educate our clients on certain aspects of their build so they can make an informed decision about what they’re putting into their home.
On any build, one of the major factors clients discuss is cost. However, we like to think of things a little bit differently, and rather than always going for the cheapest possible price on features, we strive for the best possible outcome a product can deliver within their budget.
Oftentimes, clients who sacrifice cost early on, pay for it later down the line when it comes to repairs and maintenance. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, more expensive products, like marble, for example, might not deliver the desired outcome.
So how can we honor the client’s wishes and remain somewhat cost-focused during a project, while educating them on a more outcome-based solution?

Episode 4: All About Net Zero Homes: On this week’s episode I’m talking all about net zero homes. Having built several net zero homes I definitely see the benefit of them from both an environmental and financial perspective. Especially down here in Texas where solar energy doesn’t just supply your home’s energy, but also nets you a profit if you want to sell it back to the grid. However, I do think the term net zero is thrown around a lot and sometimes can effect a build in a negative way. So tune in to found out whether or not I think you should build a net zero home, or as I prefer to define it, a net zero capable or net zero ready home.
