Created by a builder with 10+ years of hands-on experience.
Hi there,
If you’re thinking about building a custom home, let me just say: I get it.
It’s exciting—but also overwhelming. Most people I talk to feel unsure where to start.
Where do I begin?
How do I choose the right builder?
What should I ask before I sign anything?
After 10+ years building custom homes here in Houston, I’ve seen how easily the process can feel confusing—even for experienced buyers.
That’s why I created the Home Building Planner.
It includes 5 expert short books to help you plan your custom home with clarity and confidence—plus a bonus budget spreadsheet to take the guesswork out of costs.

Inside the Home Building Planner you will find:
A short book that walks you step-by-step from idea… to concept… to a real, ready-to-build plan.
A realistic timeline where I break down the entire building process — from breaking ground to getting your keys — in simple, clear steps.
A short book where I share the most common and expensive mistakes — and I tell you exactly how to avoid them.
A 42-page guide to talk about money and budgeting your future build.
A practical, powerful, and honestly, kind of fun design guidance to get your layout just right
All based on real-world experience—and completely FREE. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just honest, helpful tools from someone who’s done this dozens of times. Just tell me where to send the books and my team will take or the rest. That simple.
And one more thing—The Home Building Planner isn’t just packed with helpful reading material. It also includes a fully functional, downloadable spreadsheet that lets you create your own building budget. This powerful tool breaks down costs for every aspect of the building process and gives you a total budget estimate, so you can approach builders with confidence.
