Congratulations on the milestone Keith! We enjoy your channel and great information! Appreciate your demeanor and teaching style! Cheers to your success!
I am familiar with BMC Ready Frame. For a home that is more production built, it would work fine, for the most part. For custom homes that have several height elevation changes and more custom features, it would not work well.
@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome is that like a smart wall system..exterior walls are pre built, insulated and sheeted. The whole house is delivered to the job site. Walls, trusses window, siding, shingles..basically everything thing you need to get to lock up
@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome I suppose it could be a problem if you have a customer, or wife, that wants to change her mind, or is very indecisive. One would have to stick with the plans. They have an interesting .com page explaining how they are now working with individual architects. Don't think it would work on your current build you're showing us.
I’m having a home built in a pre-planned development and no progress has been made in about 4 weeks as we wait on trusses, but the lot that sold a day before ours, AND the lot that sold AFTER ours, had their trusses a month ago and are far ahead of us now. Contractor says ours got held up in the permitting phase. Is that possible if they’ve built dozens of the same exact model already? Thank you for making your videos in this subject!
Permitting is a glitchy thing, it all depends on what the actual hang up is, was it an engineering issue, a zoning issue? It would be good to ask and get more details.
@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Thank you so much for your response! I'm confused because this is a community where the same builder is building the same few model of homes over and over so I don't know why the municipality wouldn't be able to sign off on it in a reasonable amount of time since they've seen the same plan dozens of times. I don't know why there would be a zoning issue while it's a pre-planned community with hundreds of homesites already planned out, but I'm not a builder so I'm probably missing a piece of the puzzle.
@@RowYourBoatGently My only other guess would be the builder is spacing out his workload or forgot to submit the permit in a timely fashion. Study his overhead and how efficient things are, what is the communication like etc. good stuff to know sooner.
I am getting my plans engineered right now. And not sure on what to do about the cost of materials. Should I be waiting and be patient to see if costs will come down a bit in the next few months before starting construction?
It's a course in construction management and it can work anywhere. It doe not teach how to do things, it teaches how to replace a general contractor and how to manage a build project.

Thanks. I will keep it up.
Nice video... again... Boss👍👍
Thanks
Thanks for that. Having seen the way certain builds worked as a kid, revisiting this has been eye opening.
Oh my gosh, totally true. Congrats on the 10,000 subscribers.
Show a video of electrical rough in on an omnivlock or cmu wall. Thanks for the videos
Congrats on reaching 10K! Terrific, valuable content.
Thanks so much!
Great video today! 👍🏻
Have you any experience with the BMC ready Frame concept Keith? I was just introduced to the concept, blew me away.

@@waynebeck7801 Not that detailed Wayne, it's basic framing, pre-cut.

@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Yes, I think someone dropped the ball, unfortunately. Thank you so much for your professional input! I truly appreciate it. :)
More likely they aren't making much profit due to material costs so they are slow going
I am getting my plans engineered right now. And not sure on what to do about the cost of materials. Should I be waiting and be patient to see if costs will come down a bit in the next few months before starting construction?
There will be a drop in prices, but not much and not soon. Just my gut feel
Would the course help if I'm building in Southwest Florida?

@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Thank you.
