SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: 
In this episode, we talk about the first stage of any project - paying the deposit. This is where you'll be signing your contract, and making your first payment to lock in your builder, and get the construction process going. 
There's lots to know about this stage, about signing contracts, and how to protect yourself. Duayne and I talk about the early warning signs to look for in this stage, and what to expect from your builder in their communication and planning.
