This Beautiful Crawlspace was done by: @BlueCollarEncapsulation
Crawlspace encapsulation is an upgrade to the area under the house. It seals off the bare ground from the underside of your home.
Usually the only thing separating the two is a loose sheet of plastic. This crawlspace encapsulation seals everything tight and sometimes includes a dehumidifier to really keep the air fresh before it makes it into your home.

✅The Ultimate Home Building Checklist at BuilderBrigade.com Looks like it also helps keep all the mud and gravel from the jobsite from making it onto the road. Kind of a waste of concrete since it’ll end up being trashed but probably the same cost as the gravel used for a temp driveway. What do you think? Good idea? . . . #BuilderBrigade #homebuildingtips #homebuilding #customHome #HomeBuildingChecklist

This beautiful house has a built-in commercial car wash in the garage. I can say I’ve never seen this in my life and think it’s absolutely amazing!
Completely overkill but that’s the beauty of having a house built, you can have bad ass features built-in specifically for you.
What are your initial thoughts on this.. love it?

🏆 My pick: Natural gas if your area has access easier and usually cheaper.
Go propane if you’re building in a rural area or off the grid.

If you’re building a house, you’ve got two main options for gas:
✅ Propane – Delivered by truck and stored in a tank (either above ground or buried)
✅ Natural Gas – Comes straight from the utility company through underground lines (no tank needed)
Both can power some awesome features like:
🔥 Gas lanterns at your front door
🔥 A direct line to your grill (no more swapping tanks)
🔥 Backyard fire features for the win
So what’s your pick? Propane, natural gas, or none at all?

😲Homeowner is shocked to find her Beautiful Kitchen Island is missing one thing...
The seating overhang!
The plans have an island with an overhang but it was installed almost flush, no overhang at all.
The homeowner double checked the measurements.
The installed island is 12” shorter than what’s listed on the plans.
Do you think it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to double check these things before final install?
(And yes this is why I created a checklist. I’ll be adding this to the next update!)

It’s pretty common to see wasted square footage like this on a new build. Nothing against the builder. They have a system that allows them to build quickly.
I just like for the homeowner to know about this because it might just be worth a conversation if they see a situation where they can make this dead space functional.
Thoughts on this? Would you try really hard to utilize every square inch?

I’m going with overrated: None.. all essential IMO

👇 Pick out all your New Home Selections NOW! Get my Checklist at BuilderBrigade.com This water manifold system ensures adequate pressure to each fixture. No sharing shower water with toilet water. You can also turn off each line individually. Great if you need to shut off water to a single fixture. Only downside is the time hot water takes to reach each fixture if the manifold system is a distance away. This can be tackled with a recirculation pump, some tankless heaters come with them built-in. Thoughts? Would you consider one? #BuilderBrigade #homebuildingtips #homebuilding #customHome #HomeBuildingChecklist #Plumbing #watermanifoldsystem #Watermanifold

Jonathon at @SouthernStateBuilders used a salt finish on this driveway and it turned out 🔥. I’ve seen this same finished used on porches and walkways. Adds a clean textured look.
Even better? He added a border along the driveway that takes the whole design up a notch!

Don’t overlook these important things when framing is finished on your new home build:
-Gaps in the roof
-Ridge Vent – Someone should catch it if they forget but take a peek just in case.
-Access under Stairs – You paid for the sq ft, might as well use it.
-Blocking: Don’t rely on drywall anchors. Give yourself a solid mounting surface for life.
-Cat Walk: Extra storage and easy path to access all corners of your attic
What else would you add to this list?
