All of this is possible for you but ... 

You might feel like you're spinning in different directions and you feel lost sorting among all the ideas in your head 

You might feel completely overwhelmed and stressed because your mind is 'all over the place'

You'll know that this process should be fun, but it just feels incredibly overwhelming

a plan to get organized

home build organization tools

A system that can be easily implemented (and maintained) to keep all of the moving ‘pieces’ organized so you feel MUCH more in control of this big ol’ project. 

AND IT CAN BE EASIER THAN YOU THINK. YOU JUST NEED ...

A STEP-BY-STEP SYSTEM TO FOLLOW

Tools that you can put to use yourself and adjust to your needs so that you can easily stay organized throughout your entire home build.

I NEED THIS ASAP!

An actionable, step-by-step mini course that teaches you how to easily catalog your thoughts, ideas, design inspiration, tasks, emails, and documents so that you can focus on the more important things while building your dream home … you know, like sticking to your budget and making design decisions that come at you fast and furiously.

THE organized home build

introducing...

Organize Your Design Inspiration

Unlike building a production home with limited design options, building a custom home allows you unlimited design freedom. While this freedom to gather design ideas and inspiration from all over is great, it can also be overwhelming.

Walk away from this module with a system to organize all your design inspiration in ONE spot! And bonus … when you save all your design inspiration in ONE spot, you have the benefit of seeing patterns and themes emerge.


here's what's you'll find inside ...

Organize your thoughts (and the lists in your head) throughout your home build in an easy-to-implement (free) platform that can be accessed from anywhere

Organize Your Communications

Throughout your home build, you will have many (MANY) conversations with your builder, architect, subcontractors, and design retailers. It's important to keep these communications organized so everyone is on the same page.

In module 2, you'll implement a system that keeps all of your communications with home build professionals organized in ONE spot ... a spot that can be easily accessed from your phone so that you can pull up important information ​no matter where you are.

Organize Notes and Project Lists

As with any large project, you'll feel WAY more in control of your home-build experience if you get your thoughts, lists, and 'todos' out of your head and onto ‘paper’ (or an app in this case)

In this module, you will create an easy-to-implement (and maintain) system that allows you to organize all of your home build lists (and to-dos) in ONE spot that you can access from your phone with the tap of a finger.


Organize Your Docs and Spreadsheets

When building a custom home, you'll make TONS of design decisions for your home and it's important to keep these selections organized in an easy-to-access format so you always have your design details with you.

In this module, you will create an easy-to-maintain system to keep all of your design details organized in ONE spot that can be accessed on the go … no matter where you are.

Done-for-You Spreadsheets

Getting (and staying) organized is VERY important when building a custom home. Get immediate access to done-for-you fillable spreadsheet templates that you can easily print out or upload directly to your Google Drive.

These plug-n-play spreadsheet templates (e.g. Lighting Selections + Allowance Tracker; Exterior Selections Tracker) make it easier than ever to plug in your own information and get organized right from the start!

hey there,

I’m not going to lie though … designing my custom home from scratch was a STRESSFUL process. There were times I wanted to give up and throw in the towel. It took a lot of trial and error, tons of hours of research, lots of headaches and stress … and very little support to get through my home build. 

Honestly, I had no idea if my house was even going to turn out the way I hoped BUT all that time, effort, and research paid off in the end. I created my dream home that is not only absolutely perfect for the way my family lives, but it turned out WAY more beautiful than I even imagined it would. 

I designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out … a home that I built ON budget and still LOVE 9 years later!

I’m Carrie Barker.

And guess what else … I was able to do it WITHOUT blowing the budget! 

I cracked the code on how to bring my own dream home vision to life while sticking VERY close to budget and a lot of this ability boils down to how ORGANIZED I was during my home build.

Now I’m sharing my exact organizational system with you because I don’t want you wasting hours trying to reinvent the wheel creating a system from scratch.

Feel more relaxed and confident as you build your dream home?

Feel more in control of the entire home build process?

Feel joy throughout your build rather than overwhelm? 

Feel knowledgeable and empowered to create and maintain a system to catalog your thoughts, dreams, lists, documents, emails, etc?

So what do you say? Are you ready to get organized and ...


Yep, I'm Ready!

This course includes everything you need to get ORGANIZED.

Of course, you have to put a little DIY time and effort into creating your organizational system if you want the results you’re looking for (i.e. a relaxed home build with minimal stress).

But taking this time up front to get organized will save you time, headaches, and stress once you are in the thick of building.

This      for you if:

You feel completely stressed with the ideas swirling around in your head

You don’t want to put in the time and effort to create an organization system

You feel like you’re spinning in different directions

You thrive in ‘organized chaos’ and don’t need an organized system in place

You know building a home should be fun process, but you just feel overwhelmed

It's probably        for you if...

You want to piecemeal a plan together that may or may not get you organized

not

is

You find it challenging to keep track of all your home build details

You feel ‘all over the place’ and unsure how to organize your thoughts + plans

You already have a system in place to catalog DETAILS + track selections 

You aren’t willing to invest in a course that CAN save your sanity while BUILDing

Is there any overlap between this course and the BYB Program?

This course is offered as a bonus inside the 'Before You Build' program. If you are a BYB member, then you have access to the materials and templates found in this course, so no need to purchase 'The Organized Home Build'.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are there any costs beyond the initial enrollment fee?

Nope! There are no other fees involved. You pay once and you get access to the content for the lifetime of the ‘Organized Home Build’ course. All organizational tools and platforms recommended in this course have free versions.

How much time will this course take?

The ‘Organized Home Build’ is broken into bite-sized lessons. You have access to all of the materials for 'life' (i.e. until I retire the course in the FAR future), so there is no rush to get through the lessons. You can go at your own pace. Of course, you have to put a little time and effort into creating your organizational system if you want the results you’re looking for (i.e a relaxed home build with minimal stress)

What if I’ve already started building my home? Can I still implement this system?

Of course! There’s no time like the present to get organized. It may take you a little more time to sort through any communications and selections that you already have, but getting organized mid-build is WAY better than never getting organized.

What if I’m remodeling an existing house? Will this course still apply to my situation?

Yep! Remodeling a home is VERY similar to building a new home when it comes to organizing your thoughts, lists, documents, communications, design inspiration, etc. All of the modules in this course will apply 100% to your experience as well :).

What if I’m not planning to build for another year or more?

There is no such thing as ‘too early to start getting organized for your build’. You can go ahead and implement these systems so that you are organized and prepared as soon as you are ready to move forward with the home build process. You can certainly wait to go through this course closer to your home build, but do keep in mind that you have access to the course materials for the ‘life’ of the course (including access to any future course additions).

Is access to all materials provided upon enrollment, or are portions released in increments?


All materials will be available to you immediately when you enroll. I don’t drip out content or make students wait for content ... it’s all there as soon as you join :).

Do you offer a refund if this course isn’t a good fit for me?

Yes, we do offer a 7-day 100% money-back guarantee if you don't feel like implementing the lessons in this course will transform your home build experience. Please see the Guarantee above for more details.

Can the course be shared with my spouse or [fill-in-the blank] who will be living in the home with me?

Of course! We just ask that you don't share the course portal and templates with others who won't be living in your future household with you.

Can I do everything offered in this course on a Macbook Pro?

Yep! The course portal (which includes all lessons, downloads, workbook, templates) can be accessed on any device that has internet access … computers, phones, or tablets (e.g. iPad). All of the recommended third-party (free) tools can be accessed on any of these devices as well.

Do you offer Excel spreadsheet templates?

At this time, all spreadsheets are only available as a printable PDF or you can upload directly to Google Sheets. I'm not an ‘Excel-person’ anymore … I used to be until I discovered Google Sheets and fell in love :). 

Will this course work for me if I'm not using a builder?

YES! I think you’ll need a great organization system more than most people since you will be serving as GC for your home build.  You obviously won’t be communicating with a builder (since you aren’t using one), but you will have many other conversations with all of the people you hire to work on your home. 

enroll now!

There are MANY moving parts when building a custom home. Implementing an organization system will allow you to feel MUCH more in control of your entire building experience.
