Welcome to the Let Jaime Talk Podcast! Tune in here weekly to listen to Jaime, co-host Ben and their guests as we go in depth and let Jaime actual talk about all that goes on during their builds...aka all the long-winded explanations that are fully of enticing details that Erik has to cut short! We will be answering comments from fans, diving deeper into the current builds, explain building techniques, discuss materials, tools, and so much more! There is one thing you may not know about Jaime, but he knows a ton about a lot of different topics...so we will not just be talking about construction. We will be diving into all kinds of topics during some episodes....cars, speakers, sound engineering, furniture, welding, excavating, family, fun, dad jokes, and the list is endless. Tune in!

🎙️ Let Jaime Talk Podcast #23 - Calculate Twice, Build Once: Getting Critical Materials Right

When you’re building a custom home, some materials ("muhterials") you can fudge a little — and some you absolutely cannot mess up. In this episode, we focus on the big-ticket, high-stakes items where precision matters most: concrete for your foundation, framing lumber for your walls, and any custom-made pieces that you can’t just grab off the shelf.

We’ll cover:

- How to calculate concrete volume so you’re not paying for last-minute truckloads (or stuck with a useless extra pile)

- Why getting framing material counts right can save you time, money, and headaches down the road

- The special planning that goes into custom windows, doors, and built-ins

- Pro tips for double-checking your numbers before placing that order Because in home building, a little extra math now can save you thousands later — and keep your project on schedule.
