Welcome to a laugh-filled, insight-packed episode. Vince and Nathan crack open a couple of brews (yes, even a surprising hat-tip to Miller Lite) and take a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood parts of building: the budget.
They pull back the curtain on how budgeting works in custom home building — from the emotional rollercoaster of early pricing conversations to what really drives costs (labor, materials, and professional services). You’ll learn why pre-construction is like a dress rehearsal, how to plan for unknowns, and the difference between smart splurges and cost-effective saves.
Whether you’re dreaming of your forever home or knee-deep in planning, this episode is your guide to budgeting smarter, not harder — with plenty of stories, real talk, and a little bit of builder banter.
Key topics:
• The “Jets Syndrome” and how to avoid it
• Why your builder’s pricing sticker shock is actually a good thing
• How to plan for contingencies without losing sleep
• Where to save (like light fixtures) and where to invest (like windows and outdoor living)
• The 3 biggest cost categories every homeowner should know
• What “budgeting early and often” really looks like
Pull up a chair, crack a cold one, and let’s talk money — the smart way.
