I asked my architect and contractor friends my questions and saved their responses. This blog is a dump of what I’ve learned from expert builders.

Here are the explicit goals of this publication.

  1. Create an accessible library of practical best and worst building practices.

  2. Foster a community of experts to continue growing the library.

  3. Help explain the tradeoffs of design designs.

I hope you find this useful.

A place to learn hard lessons about building the easy way. Posts will include advice from professionals I talk to about what to do and not to do when building structures.

This is a side project that I find interesting. Most of my time is spent on BuildLimit making land use laws easy to create and use.
