Pre Construction Meeting AKA Ode To Tommy


Due to the holidays and our busy schedule, the pre-construction meeting turned out to be the foundation was just poured meeting. (The delay was purely our decision)

 This meeting consisted of meeting with a Media/Audio expert (wonderful guy! Very helpful and informative!), as well as going over step by step the building plans for our home.


What could have been a long, boring, drawn out process was anything but. We laughed, we were serious at times, professional during others; but mostly we laughed a lot.  This was the first time we met Tommy, who would be our house foreman.  And Tommy, oh, Tommy was JUST was we needed. He’s a gregarious, get the job done, and have fun kind of guy.  We were instantly put at ease.  His knowledge, professionalism, and genuineness impressed us from the get-go. I had been nervous about the team building our house, but because we know Tommy had things under control, we slept better at night.

It was also during this meeting that we discovered we actually got a walk-out basement. Happiness ensues! Things just kept getting better and better…

And then Jennifer brought down a huge box of chocolate and we were in heaven.

When I imagined us building a house, I pictured long drawn out meetings where we had to wear our serious faces.  I thought we’d be bored to tears, but I was completely wrong…

We had a blast! It was thorough, professional, and filled with laughter.

We were one step closer to our dream home with a stomach full of chocolate and nothing but confidence in the team responsible for building!
