From the first sketch to the fire pit lit.
Thirty seconds, the full arc. Empty land. Pencil lines on paper. Framing rising. Siding, roof, glass. Lights on. The same house you'll see on the lot when we hand you the keys.

First the lot. Then the frame. Then the windows.
Then the long porch.
Then the chairs that never quite match.
Four ways she's planning.
Sketch it together.
A coffee, a walk on the lot, a notebook. Most builds start as a thirty-minute conversation. No spreadsheets, no pressure, no commitment.
Sketch the next house.
Thirteen decisions. About thirty minutes. A storyboard Candace can take to the bank — or hand to a buyer.
