    #84 Change Orders

    When it comes to building a custom home, just remember, this is a prototype! It's never been built before! With that being said, the inevitible will happen and that's what we call a change order. This isn't always a bad thing and those two words more often get a bad wrap! Today the three of us discuss what change orders are, why they happen, ways to try to avoid some of them and why they have an associated cost to them.   Want to contact us? 2d1bbar@gmail.com  Steve Rudin aka The Builder, steve@loydrusselhome.com Steve Iltis aka The Home Designer, steve@steveshannondesign.com Shannon Vestal aka The Interior Designer, shannon@steveshannondesign.com We love hearing from you so keep the comments and show requests coming!!

    #82 Plumbing Fixtures & Cabinet Hardware

    No custom home build or major remodeling project is possible without plumbing fixtures, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, door hardware and cabinet hardware! The overwhelming feeling you get when your builder gives you this list of items and tells you to go make selections for each of them is almost unbearable. That is why you need a great supplier and even more importantly a friendly, knowledgable sales associate to guide you along the way. Enter Chadney Alvarez with Baths of America! Chadney has been my salesperson for the past several years and I couldn't do my job without her! Well, I probably could, but it would add so much time! On this episode Chadney shares with us her process to help clients make all these selections while also addressing the budget. If you are in the process of making some of these decisions you will want to visit Baths of America! Two locations to choose from! Chadney Alvarez     chadney@bathsofamerica.com Enjoying our show?
