S1E1: What Does It Mean to Build or Renovate a Holistic Home?
Description
Holistic home construction is not the norm. Traditional home construction is what you see being built all around you. Unfortunately, many home builders and renovators don’t know how to talk to their contractors, what to ask, and how to assert their needs. So what does holistic home construction even mean?
The most important thing to understand is that your definition of a holistic home will be different than everyone else on your team. Your contractor might not value one piece of the process as much as you. Certain timelines might be sped through, unless you go in with a clear understanding of what you need.
For example, someone coming from a home with water damage might make avoiding water damage the number one priority. While another person who experienced carbon monoxide poisoning might put detection much higher on their list. So I encourage you to write down what’s most important to you. What is the number one priority with your home?
