🎙️ Let Jaime Talk Podcast #23 - Calculate Twice, Build Once: Getting Critical Materials Right

When you’re building a custom home, some materials ("muhterials") you can fudge a little — 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 can’t just grab off the shelf. We’ll cover: - How to calculate concrete volume so you’re 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 — and keep your project on schedule.
