S2EP6: The Six-Month Home Design Blueprint: Why Rushing Your Build Will Cost You Later — The Holistic Homes Podcast

Most people spend more time planning their wedding than the home they'll live in for decades, and that's a costly mistake.

Join me while I break down the critical six-month design development phase that should happen before breaking ground on your new construction or major renovation. As the founder of Holistic Homes, I've seen countless projects go sideways because homeowners rushed through this crucial planning period and I don’t want that to happen to you.

The six-month timeline includes specific milestones and I’m taking out all the guess work by going through the specifics of each month.

month one focuses on floor plan development and pre-planning checklists
month two refines the floor plan and exterior elevations
month three dials in the building enclosure and material selections
month four involves engineers and architectural details
month five integrates your contractor into the process
month six finalizes the construction document set and bidding.

Each phase builds upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive roadmap for your project. Most importantly, I explain why documentation is everything in construction. If your expectations aren't clearly specified in plans, material selections, and contracts, they'll likely be forgotten during the building process.
