Sourcing products locally, that are locally derived, proved to be extremely helpful thus far. Asking questions, and insatiably searching and uncovering products sources, sometimes directly to the manufacturer, until I found the answers I wanted also proved extremely beneficial. Relationships within the building business are vital. I bartered and traded lots of work t make it economically feasible. Sourcing reclaimed material, and relationships that allowed me to get almost 80% of my project materials at lower costs, has made the project feasible. Do It Yourself - Having thorough experience building high quality homes, and designing buildings will also prove to be my lucrative asset.
