Las Vegas Project

We will be continuing our Building Process Video Series for the next 12 months. The typical residential project takes 4-6 months, however, our Las Vegas Project is a 10,000 square foot custom home. While it may not be exactly what most owner builders are undertaking, it will demonstrate the building process is common to all projects.

The ultimate goal is to show owner builders that a complicated, enormous custom home is built the in same way, using the same subcontractors, steps and materials as the smaller, "simpler" projects that most of us undertake. Of course, there will be unique challenges that may not apply to an individual's owner builder experience. They will, however, address another's issues.

I hope the videos are enjoyable and informative.
