Webinar: How to Organize Your Custom Home Construction Budget

Timber frame veteran, Jack McClennen, has created a three-tier method to assist homebuyers in developing a realistic budget from concept through construction. In this webinar, Jack will cover the first and most important set called the “Delta” and dive into a deep discussion on how to organize your construction budget that will include:

1. How much should I budget for the timber frame?

• Using the “Delta” as a high-level budget tool
• Understanding what components influence budget
• Simplicity vs. Complexity: design and finishes
• Location: property, site conditions and access
• Seasons: adverse weather conditions

2. Working with an architect and timber frame designer

• Site visit
• Timber frame experience
• Planning is everything: pay now and enjoy the process, pay later and be frustrated, your choice…

3. The costs to be aware of

• Timber quality, levels of joinery, finishes
• Engineering seals, architectural seals
• Site conditions, wetlands
