This book represents my 30+ years’ experience of watching, from an architectural perspective, mistakes clients make with their remodels, additions, and new custom homes. It explains how important it is for a successful home build to have the proper professional plans from the architect/designer and the consultants involved. Thorough planning of a home building project is essential; it starts and ends with the building plans. You have a choice: Pay now or Pay later. That's the message of this book and I can prove its validity. You can avoid the nightmares that many experience because they tried to save money but lost it because they did not see the value of hiring the right people. Let me tell you how.
