Hello friends!

We've completed work on an ebook that is focused on a specific part of home construction: working with construction pros. Like everything we do, the book is written from the homeowner's perspective and provides a clear overview of what to expect. It includes heaps of diagrams, quotes, and real-world stories.

It covers:

• The homeowner mindset - How to think about your power in the project and how the right mindset can lead to better outcomes.
• The reality of construction - Home construction is based on generations of tradition and know-how. It may not work as you expect. Being realistic is key.
• Best practices - Getting the most out of your investment and construction team's time
• Evaluating and hiring pros - What to look for, what questions to ask, how to hire
• The money - Understand contractor fees, billing agreements, and estimates
• Costs - How to avoid cost overruns
