What Separates Julie from all the Rest

What separates Julie and makes her unique is her knowledge of how to build a home both design-wise and structurally. As the designer, Julie sees the vision. As the contractor, she is able to tell the homeowner what all the costs are before the planning process even starts, which saves the client time and money.
