Hello...from South Africa🇿🇦

[@thecrippledhandyman]

They used a helicopter setting that pole!!

[@thecrippledhandyman]

So flying out to my mountain home in Colorado to rebuild my 825 sq ft DECK is out of the question????

[@ramellesmith1520]

So glad I made the cut to be a PBB client😄! Today is day seven of being in my completed home and you all still have a couple of videos to post. Loved this video of you all enjoying the wilds of Nevada and the Q&A session. Thank you for skills, care and concern and attention to details in building my Modern Home Build dream home. Thank you for inviting me to participate in whatever capacity I could to help with the build of my home. I know the ins and outs of my home so much more than most home owners. I couldn’t “throw on a tool belt” as Jaime suggested on our first call but grateful to help where I could. Thank you for your care and concern for me personally - making sure I got what I wanted where I could and explaining why certain things couldn’t be done. Each of you were phenomenal in that regard. Thank you for being ethical souls, for being kind human beings and making the process so less stressful than some home build stories I had heard. Particularly grateful because of the number of stressor I went through that got me to reason to build a home in the first place. A big thanks to Jaime for a multitude of reasons. And in particular for being kind, gentle and responsive with getting sub quotes when I had a meltdown about getting some kind of idea about the cost side of my job. I am sorry he had to be witness to my Tamoxifen induced roller coaster emotions. Thank you for getting ‘er done so I was able to get moved in by the absolute deadline I had half jokingly stipulated in response to the contract stating a possible anticipated finish date of mid February. The extra six weeks gave me the ability to breath and not go all crazy client on you 😂 Thank you all for your humor and camaraderie, for at least pretending I was part of the crew! I realize I was given an incredible gift in oh so many ways having a Perkins Builder Brothers and crew built home . I hope others who are in the construction trade who watch your videos for the tips and tricks emulate your high standards. Grateful beyond words for my home and your friendship - ❤❤❤💕😘

[@markbrown2296]

Wonderful post!

[@thebl4ckd0g]

this is so awesome, and the home they built for you looks so cool and comfy. :)

[@ramellesmith1520]

@@thebl4ckd0g - it is a very cool home thanks to collaborations with my architect and those with PBB and crew and their partners - grateful they listened to me and also came up with some amazing upgrades. I am working on making things comfy and cozy and that is going to be awhile. Having to get really creative since even though I was successful saving money on various things the build took all my all I had set aside and also my furniture and decor budget - foundation, floor and roof trusses. I have an amazingly beautiful home so I feel very fortunate.

[@ramellesmith1520]

@@markbrown2296 - thanks!

[@billinhouston3291]

Ramelle, it was a delight seeing you interact with the crew so well. Obvious mutual respect between you and them. So glad to see your house turn out so well. May you enjoy it for many years to come.

[@albertorozco5981]

Your father instilled very good character and mannerisms. Jamie and Eric get along well and their crew is absolutely awesome.

[@ianthepelican2709]

Jamie: "I think you got it all", Eric's doubletake: Priceless. 🤣

[@MikeCheckBiloxi]

Right? That was unexpected. #letjamietalk

[@MrBswede]

I enjoy your videos because they are 1. packed with information, 2. fun - you joke and have a good time in a good natured way, 3. you keep them from 20-30 minutes. Some videos just get too long and really don't have that much info in them. Thanks!

[@marigeobrien]

I agree. However, I think the trick is, to know how to edit a video. Erik is really good at it, which is a rare gift.

[@jimholmes4729]

Saying "No" is a superpower. Glad you mentioned it!

[@lawdog516]

Thanks guys for being transparent

[@craiglyons3975]

Nice to see a crew that works and plays well together like you gentlemen do. Keep up the good work.

[@linnsoltwedel]

For those not understanding where they are, they are in Vegas on a work trip to a building conference. Jay has a vlog about it, watch it! :D

[@chrisnobles4726]

I would also like to mention, im not a builder, i’ve worked for builders and i do alot of my own work on my own house. Your channel is an incredible resource of knowledge, a common sense way of doing things, and your collective experience is worth its weight in gold to people like me.

[@ronreed610]

The best part of watching your videos is: I can watch you work and play at things I can't or don't want to do anymore. :)

[@Ghost-Mama]

Male bonding time is important for Good 👍🏻 Mental Health, and reducing anxiety and stress. Less stress is an important aspect of enjoying life.

[@peterwalsh6867]

I retired 15 years ago , from 40 years in building construction . Costs were half of what you were saying now , no wonder housing prices are now rediculous . I admire your work and attitude , keep the videos coming .

[@thecrippledhandyman]

Same. I remember it costing $115 sq ft on the lower end. This is in Illinois. I built some of my own homes for myself for $85 sq. ft. Man times have changed. Buying 2x4x8 for $1.05 each. When I go to my lumber yard I shake my head everytime. These brothers were definitely taught the right way by their father. I grew up the same way. My Dad taght me everything. Trying to do KZbin is hard enough. But I am figuring it out.

[@hotfudgemoney]

The costs shock me as I'm estimating as much as they shock the client when I deliver an estimate to them. We're bare minimum $415 a sq/ft for a new build. These are coastal luxury homes though, but honestly, I don't feel like it's expensive enough for the headache that it is and the long list of people waiting for work to be done.

[@DanLee1969]

Inflation doubles prices every decade.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

One of your all time BEST videos ever, filming, editing, music along side visual content…simply stunning!!! Great idea to do Q&A whilst getting through a challenging hike!!!! Do it again please!!!

[@we-can-do]

All one can say is that you guys have really got your act together. The evident spirit of camaraderie that extends throughout the team is something that every business should aspire to emulate.

[@josephforgione6207]

All good questions and excellent answers.Good to know if interested in building a home. Building custom homes is an expensive undertaking and potential clients need to know as much as possible about the custom home building process. As always, Perkins Builder Brothers You Tube channel produces high quality videos. Keep up the good work!

[@whomeverwherever]

I have to say, having a parent or relative do something you’re interested in and can mentor you in is such a blessing. I didn’t grow up with such a blessing! Mom was a stay at home mom and dad was a severely underpaid auto body repair technician. Really have little idea what my aunts and uncles did for jobs. And high school did very little to offer anything that would be of any good outside of high school. Very little to steer individual talents in any direction back in the late 90’s. So crazy how different school was for my nephews in another state. All kinds of unique classes and activities. Anyway, looks like a fun trip! Love how well you all get along, help each other out, and bring such varied personalities to the crew. Keeps things very interesting!

[@marymigliore3396]

Good to see You all having fun ! I LOVE YOU ALL !!

[@tmoss7122]

I was kind of expecting you to say, “Thank you for hiking with us!” During your outro.

[@jeffmason2010]

Love the transparency you guys have. Keep it up😊

[@RicardoJunqueira]

This was actually pretty cool. And what a nice trail.

[@GCubedProductions]

Thank you for sharing the business end of your work. Very fascinating to learn how it all comes together.

[@mavrosyvannah]

Jay, I worked on the longest power span in Canada. It stretched from the top of a mountain in BC to a valley in Alberta. You needed binoculars to see the Iron grid poles at the top. Those ones in your show looked like old telegraph, telephone lines.

[@bobothree]

So funny and candid about criteria for selecting a client.

[@joshuacarpenito6716]

I'm curious of how you split the youtube revenue between you and Jamie? Do you just pool it all and take a salary? Do you (Erik) take more cause you edit and film most of it?

[@emcfarlane86]

Loved this!! Thank you for posting

[@cynthiadorsett3988]

Loved the scenery!

[@hudsonbronner]

I built a house on a cost-plus basis; while I "trusted" the general contractor that the costs he provided were actual amounts, I didn't trust him to keep the sub-contractors and suppliers honest. There is no motivation for the the GC to keep costs down and inline--other than professionalism and reputation--which a consumer can't count on. I paid for excess materials that "walked off" the job site.

[@billinhouston3291]

I'd trust the Perkins crew to build me a house on cost plus, but pretty much nobody else.

Great video! I found your videos like 8 months ago. Started watching them because I liked them & because of what you fellas teach. I’ve been working for 15 years as a roofer under my grandfather/dad and want to start my own business. I’ve just been torn between learning to build, or just going straight for roofing. I love roofing, but building just seems so satisfying. Thank you guys !

Thanks for all the amazing content! Your videos are inspirational and increase my confidence. I especially enjoy when you all work through a task that you have not encountered before. I often find myself trying new things as I build and its nice to know that experienced builders, like yourselves, still encounter situations you haven't come across before. Best wishes to Arlo! I appreciate his work and attention to detail. When there was a precise cut to be made, Arlo was often behind the saw.

[@nickbenson3197]

I agree with your comments about working in the construction field not only to learn how the work is done but to see if it really something you want to do. I was sure I wanted to work in construction and someday own my own business. When I graduated high school I worked for a roofer and for a company that did cement work. It didn't take me two long before I went back to school to get a degree. It really was not what I expected. I enjoy the videos keep up the good work.

[@bonniehollingsworth1996]

Very informative and entertaining video. Answering questions can be boring for the viewer and creator. You guys gave your Q and A an interesting edge by talking while you hiked through fascinating scenery. Well put-together. I learned so much about your background and ethics.

[@leann4925]

I've been watching y'all for awhile now and feel addicted. Your last project was amazing as not so cookie cutter as the duplex. I like a good challenge and have always been this way so the last project was awesome to watch. I enjoy the personalities of the crew that work well with each other. Enjoyed watching this as learned about the building cost. Thank you!
