When youâre building a custom home, some materials ("muhterials") you can fudge a little â and some you absolutely cannot mess up. In this episode, we focus on the big-ticket, high-stakes items where precision matters most: concrete for your foundation, framing lumber for your walls, and any custom-made pieces that you canât just grab off the shelf.
Weâll cover:
- How to calculate concrete volume so youâre not paying for last-minute truckloads (or stuck with a useless extra pile)
- Why getting framing material counts right can save you time, money, and headaches down the road
- The special planning that goes into custom windows, doors, and built-ins
- Pro tips for double-checking your numbers before placing that order Because in home building, a little extra math now can save you thousands later â and keep your project on schedule.
