So we kind of had had it in our minds for a long time and spent a couple of years chasing, you know,
private equity funding to expand that really wasn't happening at that time or more to the point wasn't happening with infill spec developers in a hot bubble market in Austin, Texas.
So I think, yeah, the seed for that, the thought was there for a long time.
We knew that was a path we would like to get on.
It just took a little while to really get a little further down.
And honestly, man, I'm a,
I would say there's still like every day I wake up, there's no guarantee that anything's going to work, right?
Totally.
We like what we're doing, but I can end up working at Home Depot a year from now and just be like the most fucking knowledgeable guy in an orange apron in history.
See how it goes.
most of that period doing like two to five million dollar luxury infill homes a lot of customs a lot of specs but really you know architecturally interesting high level of execution high level of detail really demanding clients whether it was a spec or a custom uh so we we benefited from that experience and what you find along the way with that especially doing high-end customs which I personally hate and you know would do as few as possible for the rest of my life but
Some of those clients were fantastic people to learn from.
Some of them were executives, things like that, that taught us a lot about just, I think, business in general, not necessarily the construction business specifically, but it kind of showed, at least for me, it kind of showed that, yeah, there are levels and levels and levels and you sort of figure out
you sort of figure out pretty quickly that if you're not the dumbest and brokest guy in every room you're probably up because yeah you that's where you learn yeah you're in love with that totally totally focus on getting into the uh into the room where you're not the sharpest tack um which again is hard for you guys i mean you guys are you know you're pretty sharp guys
What we're scaling now, it's different instead of being, you know, large, extremely architectural single family.
It, there were some zoning changes in Austin that allowed for a sort of medium density.
So instead of one unit on a lot, now it's, we're able to do three and we're able to subdivide certain fill lots into, you know,
smaller lots that can each do three and so you end up these sort of pocket solutions so it's sort of um it's like building an entry-level version of what we were doing so still uh incredibly design focused high-end materials really interesting looking product um but instead of four to five million it might be between like 750 000 and 2 million at the very high end so we wanted to do with that what that zoning allowed us to do was kind of unlock the ability to start delivering this to you know a wider audience um
Because most people, I think, you know, for a long, long time, that kind of home building has been pretty inaccessible all at the top, like 1%.
And that's...
