Description

The home building process is often an adversarial one. Buyers don't trust their builders and builders are annoyed by their buyers. I'm here to help mediate. Advice and tips for builders to get better happier clients, and advice to buyers to be better informed during their build. This podcast is brought to you by Adam Steiner, the owner of Birnam Design Co. a full service residential home design firm.
