This is possible because of your passion to help owner builders. I strongly recommend all of your program. I am grateful for your consultation on this process because when I have doubt you have given great guidance in this process. Thank You! May God continue to bless you and team.'

"With Keith's program I built the impossible, an Omni Block home with views to die for and with a design many builders would not touch."

"Thank you Keith from Colorado. I built a million dollars custom home and saved buckets and learned even more."

"So impressed with this course. Thank you. I have been not to well informed over the last 40yrs of DIY Biscuit Headedness but at least going forward I have solid information to lean on and guide me in making better informed choices when I take on the next project or correct the ones I have already done. LOL We are selling a 4 acre property in Whitefish MT and looking in Moab UT as soon as it sells we will be doing a 1031 exchange for the next property. All the best to each of us going forward."

"Keith, thank you for providing a source for information that is enhanced by your experience as a builder who works to continuously improve. Sometimes it’s that 10% extra (knowledge) that makes a big difference in how a project comes together. There are those who like to say “I’ve been doing this for twenty years, so I must be doing it the right way”, and then there are those who continue to learn. Longevity in a trade, without reflection, analysis, and the humility to admit that there is always more to learn, is a recipe for mediocracy. I am retired from a career in construction, working on commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. My experience in residential construction is limited to designing and building our family’s home about 23 years ago. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos and I appreciate what you are doing. I believe your channel is helping people improve their lives. Thanks Again."
Hi Keith,
First off let me tell you that I not only took your course, I took two other courses simultaneously. You did a fantastic job with this course and it was by far my favorite one. It is definitely a cut above the others.
Your master budget excel file is AWESOME. I've customized it a bit to how I prefer to budget, but that excel file alone is worth the entire cost of the course.
Also I'll keep you posted on my progress as I go along.
Warmest Regards,

Hello Keith,
I just received my Certificate of Occupancy from the city a few days ago for the construction of my ~1200 SF ADU in my backyard in Southern California. The construction itself took 7.5 months whereas the permitting process took 12 months.
I signed up for your Self-managed course shortly before ground-breaking. I wish I had learned about your program earlier which would have saved me a lot of time in the design phase. Your course is full of valuable & practical information like budgeting, sourcing the contractors and materials, the site management, the sequencing of construction process. It truly helped me every step of the way along the construction. Through your advice in your program, I was able to find some excellent contractors who have been tremendously helpful in maintaining the quality and timeliness of my project. Your prompt response to students' questions in the course is greatly appreciated. I'm sure it is not easy to find time amid running your own construction company.
I could sense that you and Malissa are genuinely trying to help all the students by sharing your knowledge and experiences. You built a tight-knit community of students across the country. Through the portal, students can share the information with each other which is great! I would strongly recommend your course to anyone who wants to build their own home. After having been through the whole construction process, I can say for sure that it is well worth it.
Attached are before and after pictures.
