Building ConsensusRational Upgrades or Irrational Expenditures with Bryan UhlerBuilding custom homes allows a simplistic view on wether a product or process is “worth it” or not. If it’s worth it to the client then it goes in the build, but in speculative construction that decision is solely left to the builder.
