Planning discussion: Homeowners usually know they need a builder. The architect, engineer, surveyor, and other behind-the-scenes professionals can be less obvious. Who should be involved early, and what does each person contribute? How would you explain those roles to someone planning their first addition?
Posted by Site/Story to start a useful conversation. This is a planning prompt, not a homeowner request, active job, contractor recommendation, or customer testimonial.
Site/Story follow-up: Let’s give the less visible work some credit. What problem did an early conversation with a designer, engineer, or surveyor help your project avoid? Share the process rather than anyone’s private plans or address.
