For those who built custom — what's the planning you wish you'd done before meeting the architect?
Hi r/HomeBuilding,
I built theconcept.build — a service that prepares a custom home brief before you hire any architect.
The idea: every major building project (museum, corporate HQ) is won or lost in the months before the first line is drawn. The smallest projects rarely get that treatment — families show up to architects with a list of bedrooms. We're built by architects and developers.
The service takes your site, family, budget, and produces a PDF with three architectural directions and questions to ask any architect.
Three tiers — $19, $49, $129. Delivered in three business days.
Not asking for upvotes or sales. Just curious what this community thinks, especially anyone who's built recently. What would you have wanted before your first architect meeting?
