Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee chat with Chris Wimbles of Perspective Homes by Pacific and homeowner, Drew Bonnell, sharing their experiences building their first net zero home including solar power.

乌鸦传媒榊ou hear it all the time, communication. Because this was a complex project and because we had so many moving parts with so many people involved, if there were challenges, it was through a lack of communication rather than too much communication. You know the old adage, there乌鸦传媒檚 just no stupid questions. Just get it out there, let乌鸦传媒檚 air it, talk about it, and then it乌鸦传媒檒l save time and money later,乌鸦传媒� says Drew Bonnell, homeowner.

The goals of this project were to build a design forward, future-proof home with sustainable features using renewable energy as progressive as possible, within the available budget. As the plan progressed, it became obvious, net zero was within reach with lots of lessons learned along the way.

乌鸦传媒楩rom a building standpoint, what we乌鸦传媒檝e really learned is the importance of having as many design decisions and as many final product decisions from the onset. Obviously, there乌鸦传媒檚 always going to be things that change, but really, if you are a homeowner and you want to build something, try to figure out what it is you want and invest in the pre-construction design process of the project乌鸦传媒� especially with all the supply chain issues that we乌鸦传媒檙e still having in the industry, it乌鸦传媒檚 critical that you work with a schedule and in a way that that can get it all achieved.乌鸦传媒� Chris Wimble, Perspective Homes by Pacific.
