Building a home, House construction, Contractors

These are actual, unedited quotes from seminar participants who mastered the mindset for renovating or building a home. If you would like to speak with any of them, please CONTACT US. For the record, we have not had one negative review in our ten years of operation!

"Tim and I came away with an overwhelming amount of knowledge that will be so useful for building a home. I can't thank you enough. You did a fantastic job teaching the course and I feel you are valuable resources. I am glad to have been one of your first students!" (1995)

"I can't imagine the disaster that would have happened if I hadn't been exposed to this information."

"We'll sleep well tonight."

"I cannot believe how my approach to my project changed in just two days. I'm ready. Thanks!"

"Among other things, I have not found any book or other resource that might give me anywhere near the confidence and knowledge on building a home that I gained from this seminar."

"What I liked best about the seminar was the organization, focus and the fact that a tremendous amount of material is covered in two days. The dynamics between the instructors and the different viewpoints presented were invaluable."

"The real world "here's what happens/works" section on the construction culture was great."

"I liked the way you strived to meet the needs of each of us. I felt mine were met more than I had thought they would be."

"Great, great class" Amy, you were wonderful. Steve, your perspective was invaluable."

"This is not something it would be easy to learn on your own in advance of building a home."

"This will help us greatly. As we begin building, we will be "educated consumers."

"You were both wonderful and presented with clarity and depth of understanding your subject matter. Thank you!"

"This training will help me cover all my bases, consider all aspects of the house construction process that I never even considered before."

"Great job!"

"There's a wealth of information powered by great instructors, good discussion and helpful handouts. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks!"

"Well worth the money even though I don't have a house construction project in the works right now."

"It was most helpful to have both a contractor and an owner represented. They presented very good real world information. It steered me to think of my project from an organizational point of view."

"Both instructors were very knowledgeable in their fields."

"It's informative!"

"It was a great environment. I learned a lot and met great people. It was a fun and very personable environment and not intimidating when I had questions."

"It will help me to eliminate as much risk as possible by preempting problems with contractors. The average lay person would not know many of these problems exist before they're in trouble."

"The best thing was Amy and Steve themselves, the fact that the seminar was given from different perspectives, owners and contractors."

"It was most helpful to learn the phases from start of project to finish."

"It's obvious that you both love what you're doing and truly care."

"This provided all and more of what I was looking for from the seminar. I feel I have a better knowledge of all the things I don't know, but can now confidently learn and search out the truth."

"It gets you organized."

"Your knowledge and expertise is overwhelming. You both are masters of your domain."

"Thank you for encouraging us to come. I love the handbook and the questions to ask contractors and architects."

"This seminar offered a practical and detailed approach for facing house construction problems. The dynamics of the group and between Amy and Steve were fun and helpful."

"What I liked best about the seminar was that I got the most information on this difficult topic, I got direct help with my problems and you gave honest and direct information to save us tons of money. It gives you the "real deal" and teaches you the language of contractors."

"It was a comprehensive overview with enough depth for starting a house construction project. It was fun, good, with anecdotal information mixed with the facts. Steve and Amy are excellent presenters!"

"It's a good feeling to be in control of the situation when dealing with General Contractors. This was clearly the case on Monday. I don't feel we would have fared as well without your help. The advice to visit the bank, town hall and lumberyards has already paid off. I can't thank you and Steve enough. Thanks Again."

"Amy and Steve are great together. I learned terminology I never knew existed and things that I knew nothing about. I feel that I've been enlightened and now know enough to feel informed. I was truly blind. Thank you both." (2006)
