The Evolution of Mesa Verde EP 43
Every community has a starting point, and often, it begins with a conversation. In this episode of Trust the Process, Michael and Krista take listeners behind the scenes of Mesa Verde Enclave, a proposed four-home luxury community in Southern Nevada. What starts as a discussion about a small development opportunity quickly becomes a deeper conversation about architecture, design evolution, buyer preferences, and the balance between building what works and creating something new. Follow along as ideas take shape in real time and discover how builders evaluate opportunities, refine concepts, and transform a vision into a future community. Whether you're a homebuyer, design enthusiast, real estate professional, or simply curious about the development process, this episode offers a rare look at how communities evolve long before construction begins.
Underspec'ing a Build: The Costs You Don't See Coming EP42
S2 Episode 42: Trust the Process Podcast Building a home involves hundreds of decisions, and not all cost-saving choices carry the same impact. In this episode of Trust the Process Podcast, we explore the concept of underspec’ing a build—where it shows up, why it happens, and how it can influence the long-term performance and cost of a home. From finishes and materials to critical behind-the-walls components, we discuss how early decisions can shape the outcome of a project, and where prioritizing budget may lead to unintended consequences over time. This conversation offers a practical perspective on balancing cost, quality, and long-term value—helping homeowners approach the building process with greater clarity and confidence. In this episode of Trust the Process Podcast, we break down the risks of underspec’ing a build and how cost-saving decisions can impact a home long after construction is complete. From materials to structural considerations, we explore where it makes sense to save—and where it’s worth investing for long-term value.
How Do Small Teams Mange Big Builds? EP41
Episode 41: In this episode of Trust the Process Podcast, we pull back the curtain on how our business actually runs day to day. From the outside, it can look like a large operation with endless resources—but in reality, it’s a small team managing multiple projects, timelines, and decisions all at once. We walk through how that works, where our time and energy really go, and why the part most people see—construction—is only a small piece of the process. We also talk about the early stages most people never see, including land acquisition, planning, funding, and the long lead time before anything ever breaks ground. If you’ve ever wondered how builders manage multiple developments—or what it really takes behind the scenes—this episode gives you an honest look at how it all comes together.
Scaling Up: Our First Major Multifamily Development Explained EP 40
In this episode of Trust the Process Podcast, we break down what it really means to scale from custom homes into multifamily development. We share the thinking behind our first major multifamily project, how the opportunity came together, and what changes operationally when you move from building a handful of homes to delivering dozens of units at once. We talk through financing, risk, timing, team structure, and how we evaluate whether a project truly makes sense in today’s market. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to move from single projects to something significantly larger, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the strategy, the numbers, and the mindset behind that shift. Whether you’re building, investing, or just curious about how real estate development works behind the scenes, this episode walks through the realities of scaling up.
