Episode Synopsis

Brady Fenn shares how Fenn Rogers went from “tearing up floors” to a trusted luxury custom home builder in the Phoenix area by partnering with the right designers/architects and bidding to the actual spec, not the plan assumptions. He shares hard-won lessons on fixing budget misses, building a dependable subs bench, and using clear expectations and communication to keep clients confident through an imperfect, first-time build.https://www.fennrogers.comShow Notes: 00:00 Welcome + what Fenn Rogers builds02:26 Brady’s path: from tearing up floors to partner11:18 Designers & architects: moving upmarket the right way17:08 Budget misses → pivot to spec-driven estimating30:18 “Chuck in a truck” vs. building a pro subs bench37:18 Why process feels hard in custom — the imperfect reality43:13 Set expectations, over-communicate, earn trust46:30 Closing thoughts & thanksFind Our Hosts: Reece BarnesMatt Calvano Podcast Produced By:Motif Media
