When it comes to building a home, it can be a difficult undertaking. Even the most experienced and skilled builders are still going to have their own unique and individual ways of tackling the task. Brendan Morais, owner of Morais Construction, explains why building your own home is so exciting.
Morais is a man who seems to have a knack for building things. He started building houses with his father in the 1980s, and then grew up being the local handyman. He became a contractor in 2002 and now runs a construction company based in his hometown of Seattle, WA. He says building your own home is a fun process that requires a lot of knowledge of the building trade. It’s kind of like the old saying “Build what you know.
Morais says the following about his own process: “I think that first you have to understand the structure of the building. You have to know how to cut, to lay out the foundation, and to make sure the foundation is strong. You have to know how to put up the walls, and how to set the joists. You have to know how to make a roof. The next step is to find the right guy to do the walls.
That sounds pretty complicated. But it’s not at all. For example, I know that I can cut and lay out a foundation, I know how to put up the walls, I know how to set up the joists, and I know how to make a roof. The next step is to find the right guy to do the walls. I don’t know who that guy is, but I’m sure it’s someone I can trust.
Well, I guess that is a problem. With the walls being a construction project, and the roof being a construction project, the construction industry is not the person you would contact for such a project. This is why you want an experienced contractor. The construction industry is a big beast and you need to take this thing slow so that you can save money. Don’t take your time for granted and remember what it’s like to have to wait for weeks to get your roof done.
As for the roof being a construction project, the fact is that most people in construction don’t know the difference between the roof and the walls, or the roof and the floor. They just do it and don’t take the time to try and figure out what the difference is between the two. This is usually because they don’t have the time. Because of this, the building industry is a big beast and construction should really be done by someone who knows what they’re doing.
I just spoke to brendan morais himself about this statement and he was really surprised by the fact that he was being so kind (he said he was really disappointed that he didnt have the time to explain the roof to someone who didnt know the difference between the two). It’s because of this that people in construction sometimes get so caught up in how much money they’re spending on a project that they forget the real reason for it is to get those walls or the roof done first.
It’s not as simple as simply getting the job done, but it’s not just about getting the job done either. The quality of workmanship and the cost of materials is also a factor that comes into play. In the case of the roof, you can’t expect a contractor to do a great job of patching up a problem for the cost of the materials. That’s why you want to do it when you’ve already got a budget in place.
They are not really worried about that, though. Morais told us, “We’re just concerned with making sure that the product is right for each individual customer.
That sounds like a good thing to me; you don’t want to go with an expensive roof if you don’t have to.
