This episode of the Fine Home Building podcast is brought to you by Build Book. A lot of construction

pros have a common problem. Your construction management software is either non-existent or it is too

slow and too complex. It shouldn't be bogged down with complicated features that you have to attend

an academy to learn how to use. You need software you can start using day one without training

that is faster and more reliable than your notepad that allows you, your team, and your clients

to always know what's getting done and when. And your software should reduce stress, not increase it.

The solution, BuildBook. Buildbook is built for today's modern builder with everything you need,

nothing you don't. Whether you're a one-man operation or a business with a large crew,

BuildBook has a plan to fit your budget. No nagging sales calls, tricky upsells, or hidden fees.

I'm swinging a hammer and it's a ton of work. Like, it's art. It's craftsmanship.

Welcome to the Fine Home Building podcast, our weekly discussion of building, building, remodeling, and design topics aimed at anyone who cares deeply about the craft

and science of working on houses.

This is senior editor, Kylie Ja.

Today I'm joined by Emily Macho, an architect based in Cumberland, Maine, and Deja Lurge,

lead carpenter and superintendent at Carlyle Classic Homes in Seattle, Washington.

Welcome to you both.
