This is your custom home. Your dream home. The place where you and your family will come home to every single day. And you have no idea where to start. The ugly truth is most homeowners dive into their home build without a plan, no way to monitor their budget, and end up completely blindsided by delays.
Do You Have NO IDEA Where To Start?
You’re second-guessing every freakin’ decision you make, wondering if you’ll ever truly be happy with your home.
Your build turns into a nightmare, and you want to literally puke when your builder tells you how over-budget you are.
You choose the builder with the lowest bid to “save money” but end up in a bait and switch situation.
Having a home you love without going over budget is possible, but not without a plan. Unfortunately, if you go into your home build completely blind, this is a much more likely scenario:
No Plan = Costly Chaos
Instead of sleepless nights worrying about going over budget, or second-guessing your design decisions, what if you actually loved your custom home build experience? I get it. You’re a BUSY mama… with a busy job… and a busy house… and now you’re supposed to be building your future home with absolutely no experience? But you don’t have to know how to build a home. You just need a proven method to get you from start to finish, and I have you covered.
You Don't Want To End Up Like That, Do You? Yeah, I Didn't Think So

Hi! I'm Carrie ...
I’m Carrie Barker. I designed my custom home from the ground up, inside and out, on budget AND still love it over a decade later. But it was STRESSFUL. These were pre-Pinterest days, and I had little support throughout my home build. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if it was going to turn out the way I hoped.
But all that time researching and planning paid off. I created my dream home that isn’t just perfect for how my family lives, but it turned out WAY more beautiful than I even imagined. And guess what else… I was able to do it WITHOUT blowing the budget!
I’ve cracked the code on how to bring my dream home vision to life while sticking to my budget, and now I’m sharing everything I’ve learned with you. I want you to avoid the lengthy + stressful trial and error process I went through and have a preparation plan from the start.
I’ve been there, done that, and actually lived through it… and you will too. Pinkie promise!

Don't go through this process alone. I'm sharing exactly what you need to build on budget AND pull off a successful home build. The best part? It's totally FREE. No strings attached.

Your Questions Answered
What makes your method different from other home-building advice out there?
Other advice can be vague or doesn’t always apply to real life. My approach is simple and built for busy families who need actionable advice. I’ve been through it all (the mistakes, the stress) and now I’m sharing a step-by-step system that actually works. No fluff, just what you need to design your dream home without the chaos.
How soon should I start planning my custom home?
The earlier, the better! If you’re 1 to 2 years out from breaking ground, my class is EXACTLY what you need to get started. You’ll have plenty of time to plan, stay organized, and avoid feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
I haven’t picked my builder yet (or I have) — is that okay?
Totally! If you haven’t chosen one, I’ll walk you through how to evaluate potential builders and make sure you’re selecting the right fit. If you already have one, I’ll explain how to work with them, stay on track, and avoid the common mistakes that can lead to stress and an overrun budget.
What if I don’t have a lot yet? Will this work for me?
Absolutely! If you don’t have land yet, this class will help you lay the groundwork for the next steps. You’ll get guidance on what to look for in a lot and how to plan for your dream home even before the land is purchased.
I’m building a semi-custom home. Will this work for me?
Whether you’re building fully custom or semi-custom, the principles I teach in the class still apply. Semi-custom homes can still have a lot of moving parts, and my method will help you stay on budget and avoid surprises. The key is planning and knowing what to prioritize, no matter the level of customization.
Will this work for me if I’m doing a home renovation?
Yes! Whether you’re adding space, changing layouts, or upgrading finishes, the key to staying within budget and avoiding costly mistakes is proper planning. My class will help you streamline the process, keep your renovation on track, and make sure you love the final results.
