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.

and just sort of brighten it up. But that's just, that's just me. This is his first house. Like,

of working on houses.

This is senior editor, Patrick McComb.

Today I'm joined by Deputy Editor Matt Milham.

How's it going?
