DIYHB E04: Managing the Design Phase to Stay within Your Budget with Carolyn Brodin

Today I am so excited to be joined by my Mother-in-Law, Carolyn Brodin, who managed EECC Fine Home Builders, LLC for 35 years. In this episode, Carolyn pulls the curtain back on what a successful home build project looks like from the perspective of a professional contractor and builder.

Listen in to learn how to manage the design phase so that it doesn't drag on forever, and stay within your budget by being honest and upfront with yourself about what is truly important for you in the design and construction of your owner-built home.

Public Apology: Ok, I admit it, I'm a dolt. I mispronounced my wife's family name THREE times in this episode (my Father-in-Law is gonna kill me)!  In my defense though, I did pronounce it like it's spelled (Brodin), when it should be pronounced Brodin(e). So there's my back-handed apology :).
