Transcript
William Reid: [:

My company RemodelWest Construction, operated a design build business model, which meant I orchestrated, coordinated all of the design and construction for projects. So I was more of a one-stop shop solution for homeowners. I know that just thinking about a project is scary that you just don't know where to start.

Part three is the world of construction, and part four is building your team. Part one is all about everything you need to do before you pick up the phone, before you go on the website looking for five star rated contractors or designers. There's some really important information in there that you need to do so that you can empower yourself, but also your design professionals to help you pull it all together.

Lastly, build Your Team is all about as how to go about finding and assembling all of these people to help you. So it's a comprehensive book I really invite you to, to dive into it. It's the kind of book that you'll probably go back to as you're navigating through the project. That's what I'm hoping for.

The Awakened Homeowner is. Becoming more than a book, I'm starting to build a community online, I invite you to go to the awaken homeowner.com to learn more. I actually have an app in development right now that's gonna accompany the book where you can take all of this knowledge and we're gonna help you apply it to get to where you want to be.

Thanks for joining I wish you luck on your project.
