Construction Methods

Most owners let their architect or their builder make the construction method decision for them without ever knowing it is a decision that was theirs to make. That is one of the most consequential things you can hand off to someone else in a custom build.

This course explains every construction method available to you, what each one means for your design flexibility, your budget, your timeline, and the long-term performance of your home. You make this call with your eyes open, before design begins, which is the only time it can actually protect you.
