Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Modern Home Builders. As the trend for plunge pools continues, we get some useful insights from an expert in the industry- Karen Larson, co-founder of Soake Pools. If you’ re fielding enquiries in this area, then head to page 10 and benefit from Karen’ s experience.

Clients are also becoming more interested in ensuring their homes are sustainable. As EGGER’ s Jonathan Lynch notes, material choices are playing an increasingly influential role in how homes are built and renovated. How thoughtful is your specification?

Finally, our Q & A with John Cannon and Wayne Visbeen demonstrates the power of the right relationship. When talents and personalities complement each other – projects thrive.
