Joining us this morning from Edge Construction is Mike Twohig. Mike, how are you doing this week?
Mike:
Great, Sean. It is good to see you.
Host:
We are going to be talking about some of the steps in designing and building a custom home.
You guys do a few of these each year, don’t you?
Mike:
We do.
It is usually one or two. It is not our main business, but they tend to be more challenging projects.
It might be something on a lake, or it seems like every year we tear down a house and build a house. So it is a little more involved.
Or maybe it is a country lot. Those are a little different than building on a fully improved city lot.
I think building with us is quite a bit different, and we will get into all this, but the design process is different.
Most new construction is geared around getting into action fast. People sometimes pick on builders because they have standard plans and things, but they also want to get the process started. The builder wants to get it going too.
You cannot do that when you are starting from scratch on design and fully designing a house from scratch. It takes a little bit more of a time investment.
Host:
Are you doing a lot of new lots, or are you doing spots where folks may have had a house previously and say, “We love the neighborhood. We love all of these things. We just do not love the house”?
Maybe it was poorly maintained. Is it a mixture of both, or are you seeing one more often than the other?
Mike:
It is kind of a mixture.
For us, believe it or not, it is about half and half.
We have another one this year where we are going to tear down an existing house. It has lived its life. It has been remodeled a couple of times. We have been in there, but it is just not going to make the grade this time.
It is for a homeowner who can pull this off.
Sometimes it can be a challenge. The last one of these for us was the year before last, so two years ago. It was a great big lot in Monona.
I usually try to talk people out of this because I do not want to be wasteful. If we have an existing house, my feeling is usually that we can remodel it and get it 90 percent of the way there.
This house was what I call a kit house. I am not convinced that is what it was, but that is what I think it was. It was about a 100-year-old house in Monona, and it was a very reasonable house at that time.
It was a two-story house that looked a little bit like a bungalow or cottage. If you went inside, the exterior walls were three inches thick. They had special smaller lumber.
The interior walls were like an inch and a half thick, two-by-fours or two-by-twos turned sideways with drywall on top.
You start looking at how much of this can be saved, and it led us to building a new house.
Host:
We will obviously get deeper into all this stuff, but even just designing a new home is the dream for a lot of folks.
Ultimately, it would be great to have that opportunity to build everything exactly how you want it, with every aspect gone through and designed.
For folks who get a chance to experience that and work with Edge Construction, a lot of new homes are not particularly unique. They look a lot like the houses nearby.
With Edge Construction and the design process, just like with a remodeling project, you are really looking to make everything about that house unique for that homeowner.
Mike:
Yes, and I want to think about it in terms of how much time you are willing to invest in design.
My theory on the remodel side, because that is where I live, is that the more design you do, the longer this project should last.
You are investing in design just like you are investing in product.
If you buy better products, your remodel should last longer. If you purchase better flooring, hopefully it is better quality and lasts longer. Same with cabinets, countertops, and everything else.
There are ways to cheap out on the stuff you cannot see. You can put in cheaper wire, cheaper plumbing pipes, cheaper valves, and all of this stuff.
But in my mind, maybe some of that stuff is not going to last 30, 40, or 50 years, and that is going to drive another remodel at some point.
Same thing with design.
If you take your time on design and invest time in design, you are going to catch more of the things that would force a remodel down the road.
If you talk to anybody who has been through the building process and ask the right questions, they are going to tell you, “I wish I would have done this,” or, “I wish I had done something different.”
We want to catch as much of that as we can.
When you are going to build a custom house, we are going to go through the design process from the ground up. You need to take your time.
If you are going to build a plan that has been built 100 times, there is an advantage there. Some of those things are going to be ironed out.
On our side, we call it redlining. If we build a house for somebody or even another builder, we are going to go back to them and say, “Listen, next time around, you need six more inches here,” or whatever the issue may be.
It gets ironed out the more times you build that house.
So when you build that custom house, you really do need to spend the time up front.
Host:
Do folks come in and start from scratch? How does that process work?
When we talk about general remodeling projects, we talk about going through that process. With a new home and designing and building a custom home, what is the starting point?
Mike:
Three houses ago, somebody came in and said, “I want a ranch house. I have four kids. I want this many bedrooms, and I want them kind of all in the same area.”
It is really nice to have some kind of starting point.
There are sites where you can search house plans online, and you will find literally millions of them. That is the general way to go.
Starting from scratch takes quite a bit of time. There is a lot of CAD time.
Even to modify an existing plan, it is work.
This year, I found a couple of very different plans for a homeowner. The initial one was kind of a modern plan. Not a modern house, but a Craftsman-style or Prairie-style house. It was a recent drawing, so it was very open and had a lot of the things people expect to see in a brand-new house now.
But one half of this couple liked a more traditional look and felt that the super-open concept was not as cozy or warm.
I bought in. I thought, “You know what? She is right. Maybe we need to look in a different way rather than trying to modify this brand-new plan.”
They did find a plan online and said, “We really like this, but a bunch of stuff has to change.”
So basically, we redraw the house and start over.
Host:
When we talk about working with your designers, obviously you are very much on the building side. There is always some architecture going on too.
I am guessing the designers are working closely with architects and others.
Mike:
Very much so.
If you start down this road online, which a lot of people do now, it is just easier to find what you like.
If you search Google Images for a traditional house plan or traditional ranch, you will get page after page of houses.
If you click on one of those, chances are it will lead you to an architect or a firm that has drawn a bunch of plans.
I always get a kick out of how, even under that setting, those people have a style. It is clear they have a look they like, and it permeates through their stuff.
When you find an architect or even a builder, it is nice to be on the same page. You should like the same things.
I think it is really tough, whether you are on the design side or the construction side, to be everything to everybody.
You might have a really traditional one here and a super-modern one over there. With the ultra-modern ones, I think I would like to build it just because of the challenge, but personally, I think, “I do not know.”
We have so many traditional, beautiful houses in Madison. I sometimes wonder whether it is great to put a totally competing style right next to one.
Host:
Speaking of style, are there rules for different types of styles in different neighborhoods?
Obviously, newer neighborhoods have certain rules, but do older neighborhoods have anything in that area as well?
Mike:
Very much so.
We work in a lot of neighborhoods downtown. Some of those have historical districts where anything you can see basically needs some kind of approval, and there are pages of rules for these things.
That can include picking out a paint color, a siding color and style, what the windows need to look like from outside the house, or the roof.
We have done a fair amount of remodeling in some of the lake neighborhoods, like Maple Bluff. Even if you are going to roof your house there, you have to go through a board and present the product.
They want to know you are a reputable contractor and approve colors and things like that.
There are reasons for all this stuff.
If you are in an old neighborhood with no rules, you can paint your house Viking purple. I am not sure I would want to live next to it.
So you have the freedom there to do what you want, but these new neighborhoods usually have rules.
Host:
It is interesting.
I live right near the city, and then the next unincorporated town is about a block away from my house. You can tell when the rules change. They are like, “Whatever you want to do, it is fine with us.”
There is obviously a place for all of these projects.
Speaking along those lines, when we talk about remodeling in general, inspections, and those kinds of things, I have to guess there is a whole other layer with new construction, isn’t there?
Mike:
There is, but in so many ways, it is much easier because we can pre-solve those problems.
We are building it in CAD, so we know what the beam loads are going to be. We are going to do the math and figure stuff out.
On the remodeling side, we do not always know what is behind that wall. We can make good guesses. I am a good guesser, and there are tools that can help you do that.
But we have a very big country remodel going on right now that started a few weeks ago. We are through demo and framing.
One of the last things being framed is a patio door going in off a bedroom, and it is brick outside. I think we are procrastinating cutting this hole.
It is going in underneath an existing window header, and we cannot tell what is there.
Last time I was there, I said, “Okay, guys, we have to peel this off and see what is there because I do not know. We cannot guess. I do not want to have a problem.”
So we will do our due diligence.
On the new construction side, a lot of things are engineered.
When we drop it into CAD, it will size the beams. We send it off to an engineer who figures out the floor system.
That is all done. We can hand paperwork to an inspector and say, “This is how the loads transfer.” It puts them in a very comfortable position.
On the remodeling side, it is just not like that.
Host:
I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
Really cool stuff.

We are talking about designing and building custom homes this week.
We left off talking about some of the permitting that goes into all of this. We will leave that there and pick up with what we really want to talk about: creating that floor plan and overall design.
Mike, in the last segment, we talked about the exterior and how, if you are in certain neighborhoods, certain things have to be approved.
Inside, the world is your oyster. You can do what you like, can’t you?
Mike:
You can.
We are very used to designing those spaces.
Since we are talking about designing that new house, or what the starting point is, the starting point is the footprint.
If you peeled the roof off, looked down from above, you would see all those walls, cabinets, and that layout.
Whatever plan you find to start with, if you are going to start that way, you are not necessarily going to find the perfect look.
People are so visual now. A lot of times, a homeowner will find a plan and say, “I like this, but I do not like this.”
I always think you have to start by not worrying about what the outside of that house is going to look like.
The inside layout is where you are going to live. We really have to get that right.
Once that is right, the clothes that the house is going to put on can change. We can modify those looks. We can change the roof. We can add a bigger porch. We can make things appeal to you on the outside.
It is hard for people sometimes to get past that because we are spending all this time up front getting that footprint just right.
Host:
Let’s talk about putting that footprint together and what that conversation is like.
Obviously, houses should all have a living area, kitchen, place to eat, bedrooms, bathrooms, and those types of things.
But how that stuff is configured and proportioned is really individual, isn’t it?
Mike:
It is.
There is a lot of talk up front about what is going to happen in this house.
If you have a family there, how is this going to work?
Ranch versus two-story is another question. A lot of times, it is preference, but budget plays in because with a ranch, for the same square footage, you have double the foundation, double the roof, and a lot more concrete. The cost per foot is higher.
We do not really figure it that way, but it does have a big influence.
Sometimes the lot makes a difference.
For a homeowner my age, I think it would be really nice not to have to go up a bunch of steps to get to your room. A first-floor primary suite or ranch house becomes pretty appealing.
It is not just me. The stats say that when they survey homeowners, most homeowners think a ranch house makes a lot of sense.
You have a ranch house, right?
Host:
I do, and I love it.
Mike:
Downstairs?
Host:
It is great.
Mike:
Exactly.
Some of those things play in.
How many of our shows over the last 10 years have been on kitchens?
Host:
So many.
Mike:
Kitchens are huge.
The way we design now is that we try to centralize the kitchen. It just makes a lot of sense.
There are a lot of variables there as far as size and what you want in there, and we can get into that.
Host:
As you were talking about that floor plan, what about the land itself?
Obviously, if you are on an existing lot that had an existing home, it is probably ready for a house.
But not all lots are perfectly made for every type of house, are they?
Mike:
They are not.
With a country house where setbacks are not a problem, it is no big deal.
We have an addition starting this summer, probably late summer, where every inch matters. There is a setback of three feet on one end. That means from the true lot line, which we have to have surveyed because it is really that close, to the farthest point out of the house, including where the eave comes out and even an eavestrough, we have to be very careful.
We have to nail it. We have to get it just right.
The lot can make a big difference.
If you have slope to your lot, there are advantages. If it is level up front and slopes away in the back, great. You can have exposure there, maybe a walkout.
If it slopes to the front, maybe we have a little steepness on the driveway. I think the limit is 15 percent grade.
I know another builder friend of mine who built on a country lot and got busted on the 15 percent rule. He had to use up a bunch more land by bringing that driveway back and forth to ease the angle up to the house.
I did not laugh at him, but I did kid him a little bit. I said, “Hey dude, this is something that was pretty important.”
But it happens. Things happen.
Host:
As we talk about incline and grade, if you are on a hill, what about things like water mitigation?
Again, when we typically talk about remodeling, we are not talking about what is happening with rainwater. But with a new one, that has to be part of the conversation. How are things going to work so you can keep the basement and everything dry?
Mike:
Very much so.
Sometimes neighborhoods and cities have low points where, when there is a big rain, somebody is the unlucky winner of all that water.
We actually have one in design right now that is a teardown in Monona. It is that situation: big lots, huge lots, but if you look at how it is sitting, it is pretty much in a bowl.
We have to deal with that.
That means we probably have to engineer it a little bit. Someone is going to get all those grades and take a stab at where the water is going to go.
Maybe we have to put a swale in and divert some water around the house. It will probably influence the size of the house they can actually build on this lot.
Host:
Interesting.
We have not talked about land grade or anything like that for a long time, so it is always good stuff to hear.
We are talking with Mike Twohig, owner of Edge Construction, about designing and building that custom house.
If you are thinking about doing a custom home, Mike and the team at Edge Construction would love to talk with you.

We are talking this week about designing and building that custom home.
For a lot of folks, myself included, that is the ultimate dream: getting a chance to sit down, design, and build that custom home.
Mike, when we talk about the planning, design, and upfront work that goes into executing that dream, you really want to make sure you get it right.
What is the timeline? Let’s say I walk in today and say, “I have this idea.” What is the average timeline from that day until you hand over the keys and say, “It is yours”?
Mike:
We have to do lots of math.
To get to where we are talking about with a finished plan, I think a good goal is a couple of months.
For some people at the start, they might think that is a while. It goes fast because together we are going to come up with that initial plan, figure out how to modify it, make those modifications, and give it back to you.
Then we let you have reaction time.
For some people, that is a day. Sometimes it is a week or two. Then we wait for you to come back and say, “Okay, we want to change a few more things.”
Hopefully, after a couple of months, and that is pretty fast-tracking, we have a finished plan.
Then we start the rest of the project. Now we are figuring out what we have to do.
We might have to deal with the city on something.
A lot of times, if you have power to your house overhead from a pole, people want us to bury that. So we start that process, and there is a permitting process there.
The country house we are going to take down this year and build a new house in its place has some other due diligence. We need a new septic system, so the start of a country project is probably a sanitary permit.
Without that, you cannot get a zoning permit. Without a zoning permit, you cannot get a building permit.
I would say four or five months to dig is pretty good, unless it is a really simple, tried-and-true house that has been built a few times. Then maybe five or six months to build it.
Last year, we built a pretty large house in a little less than six months. So it depends on how the process goes, but that is realistic.
Host:
When we talk about a kitchen remodel, there are a lot of options. With a custom home, it is every little detail.
We will talk about some of the glitzy fun stuff like countertops, but what about some of the less glamorous things, like mechanicals?
Is the homeowner brought in on any of that stuff?
I know there are water heaters for certain sinks, maybe where you want instant hot water. Are homeowners brought into that part of the conversation as well?
Mike:
Yes, they are.
Through that design process, we might ask, “Do you want two zones for heat?”
If you have a finished basement and upstairs on the same thermostat, you can make it work. I am not saying it is a bad system, but it is an investment to change it and have a separate thermostat in the basement and one up top.
We are going to offer those things.
We might start with the normal system, whether that is plumbing, heating, or electrical, and then option a bunch of things.
You mentioned instant hot water. That is something I would really love if I had a bigger house.
In a ranch house, you can be 50 or 60 feet from that water heater, so you are just running water down the drain until hot water gets there.
There are ways now to fix that. We call them recirculation pumps.
You can have that pump underneath your sink, and some systems will use the cold water run as a return pipe until you start using the water.
It is really ingenious.
People ask, “If you are heating water all the time, does that waste energy?”
Not as much as you think. It is a pretty little process, and it is not like you are running hot water through there all the time. You are also wasting a lot of water when you just run it down the drain.
There are definitely goods and bads to both.
Host:
I think about returning warm water to the water heater. It is not like you are starting from cold tap water to heat it.
It is like when you get in your car and discover that recirculating button. You think, “It gets much warmer much faster.”
Speaking of air, comfort, and that type of thing, there are a lot of different heating systems to investigate.
Forced air is probably most common. Then is radiant heat another option?
Mike:
We do get asked about radiant heat.
It is probably the nicest heat there is. If heat is coming up through the floor, you can do a hot water system and run PEX pipe. There are a couple of different ways to do it.
It is pretty pricey, and you still have to have some way to air-condition the house.
So you are going to have some kind of forced-air system without the furnace part pumping air. It is almost like having two full systems.
I am a little torn on it.
My theory is that when I build something, I like to do what I call super-insulate.
Instead of a minimum R-19 outside wall, I like to get up to around R-30, maybe with a couple of inches of rigid foam around the outside.
That house is going to heat much differently.
The house we built last year was a pretty large ranch. The great room and kitchen area was about 2,500 square feet. I was in discussions with the homeowner this winter, and they said they could heat that whole area with one vent open.
I thought, “Well, this house is a lot more efficient than I thought.”
It was not the coldest winter, so you have to put that caveat in there.
But heating systems are geared toward normal houses. Even your discussions with an inspector — they do a heat calculation, and you have to be able to push this much heat for this much square footage.
Those numbers are not great if you super-insulate because you are probably going to have a furnace that is bigger than you need.
Americans always like bigger and better, but in this case, bigger is not that great because the system is not running enough to run well.
That is not necessarily new thinking, but we are working on it with inspectors. When we make our case and try to size things, we really want to get it right.
I think the future is smaller houses.
If it ever gets popular to build 1,000-square-foot ranch houses, we can probably do a great job of heating them with one source, like a mini split, if we super-insulate. It just will not take much to get that house comfortable.
I do not know if that is a long answer to a complicated question.
Host:
It is important.
When we talk about designing the new home and the custom home, it is important.
A lot of modern furnaces now have that nice option where they take the warm air and gently heat. Am I remembering that right? How does that work?
Mike:
Yes, that is how we have gained a lot of efficiency in furnaces.
The idea is that they run more, but they are doing less.
You are bringing in return air at whatever, 70 degrees. If your thermostat is set at 72, it is just going up a little bit.
The challenge with that is making the house feel comfortable.
I do not know about you, but I am a little funny about lukewarm air being blown at me. If I am cold, I want to go someplace warm.
That is the challenge.
That is why you see a lot of fireplaces in houses. We can heat the house super efficiently, and then in the space where you spend a lot of time, if you really want to jack it up a little bit, you can just turn on that fire.
If you super-insulate and use good windows, you can make that house feel a lot more comfortable with the existing system.
Host:
Really good stuff this morning from Mike Twohig, owner of Edge Construction.
We are talking this week about designing and building that custom home.
We are going to continue our conversation with Mike. We are going to talk about some of those little details — the things that catch the eye, the things that make company say, “Oh my goodness,” or, when they pull up to your house, “Wow, that is beautiful.”
We will talk about those things next.

If you have not been there recently, it is definitely worth the stop. There are some really cool projects, and also links to Pinterest, Facebook, and Houzz.
If you are thinking about doing some remodeling, Mike and the team at Edge Construction would love to talk with you. Call 608-636-3343. That number is 636-EDGE.
Maybe you want to do some remodeling. Maybe you are thinking it is time to build that beautiful dream home, that custom home. Either way, that is a great time to give them a call.
We were talking about some of the business side of things, and that is important.
Let’s talk about some of the stuff that makes you go, “Wow” — the selections and details that come with building a custom home.
This is the area where I think a lot of folks have a ton of fun. You are not trying to match or fit in with an existing space. You can do what you want because you are designing every aspect of it.
For the designers, and especially for the homeowners, it has to be a lot of fun.
Mike:
It is, but designing a whole house at once can be kind of overwhelming.
Throughout this process, most people are going to get online. They are going to get on Houzz, Pinterest, and websites like ours, and they are going to find a lot of stuff they like.
I equate it to new cars. Every new car looks nice. If somebody is going to give us a new car, it would not really matter what it is. We are all going to be happy because it is going to be a new car and it is going to look nice.
It can be tough if you like everything. You have to start defining your style and get a theme going in the house.
Do you like something more traditional? More modern? We have talked about the modern farmhouse style. Maybe something more contemporary, which things seem to be edging toward a little bit, putting a twist on things.
Then there are colors.
If you go on our website and probably a lot of others, you will see a lot of bold colors in kitchens now.
Do I want to do that? If I do that in my kitchen, what do I do in my laundry room and bathroom?
The way we do it is that we try to break this up a little bit. We are not necessarily working on all the rooms in one day.
We will spend a few hours trying to get the kitchen nailed down, and maybe flooring in a bunch of the rest of the house. That is doable.
Now you have one of the main things nailed down.
Then we may have another appointment or two, if we need it, to get some of the other stuff.
The last thing we are probably going to do is get the exterior colors going. We want to tie that stuff together.
Sometimes people ask me what the rules are. Guess what? It would be so much easier if there were rules.
Host:
When we talk about design, we often talk about kitchens and primary baths, and for good reason. We see the great results and love them.
But people forget things like the powder bathroom and the pantry. Those spaces need to be designed as well.
One thing I love is that you do not want those spaces to be throwaway spaces either, where you say, “We will just do a basic room.”
When I go to the website and look at the work you guys have done, I think of pantries. A pantry is a place to put your food, but it can also be a work of art.
Even those things that seem a little less significant can create huge value for homeowners when they get design attention.
Mike:
There have been fantastic kitchens that we have done, but we did an even more fantastic pantry, and people just say, “Oh.”
It is unusual to have this beautiful pantry where you go in and think, “Wow.”
I am always amazed that we do not see those pantries looking like our pantry at home, where stuff is just piled on the shelves.
They are organized and cool. There are glass jars, baskets, and all this neat stuff. Like you said, it is a work of art.
I know that is a lot of fun for our designers and homeowners both.
You do not want to overlook some of the little things.
You mentioned powder rooms. That is something that is creeping in.
When you have torn out as much wallpaper as we have on the construction side over the years, you sometimes end up not being a fan.
But our designers do not care if we do not like tearing off all the wallpaper. Wallpaper is coming back.
There are custom designs coming out now, which is pretty amazing.
If you are a graphic designer, like one of my nieces is, she drew this really cool wallpaper and circulated it among the family. You can actually buy this and have it made for yourself. There are companies out there that will do it.
So we are seeing a comeback in wallpaper.
Host:
It makes sense that you mentioned customization, hopefully in small areas like powder baths. That is a good spot for it.
The easiest way to remove wallpaper is with a sledgehammer. I am convinced of that.
