NTE Live w/Jeff Burg, JFK Design-Build

Author: Andrew Pace December 22, 2023 Duration: 59:14

Jeff and I have a similar history. Besides the fact that we've personally known each other for probably 30 years, we both grew up in businesses that were involved in the contruction industry.  That always gave us a lot to talk about when we saw each other at family functions.  When I started healthy home consulting several years ago, he and I began talking about the possibility of working together on some projects. Jeff is a custom home builder and finish carpenter, so his attention to detail is superb.  He's also very confident in the materials and systems he normally uses, so when the opportunity came recently to collaborate on a healthy home build, we both were excited to see the end results.  

On today's show, of course we'll talk a little bit about that project and how it has already positively impacted how Jeff is building all of his homes.  But what we really get into detail on is the general process for planning, designing and constructing a custom home.  Whether you need to go deep into material selection and IAQ details because of health concerns, or you just want to do the best you can, this discussion will be extremely informative.
