There are so many basic things that can be done to make a home multitudes better than the code minimum that the industry incentivizes builders to do. There are changes afoot.

Our time lapse camera allows the entire project team to keep track of the build progress. Cellular based and equipped with PV batteries, it gives us a bird’s eye view of the cool designed project. That is a two story volume on the left. Log in to check on the guys. Pretty sweet, a bit creepy.
