4 Great Video Channels for Home Builders
- Ask The Builder – You don’t always have time to sit down and watch a video that focuses on every little detail, and Tim Carter (or “The Builder”) knows that. Tim has spent more than a decade on YouTube posting well-paced, informative videos about all aspects of the building process. From the basics for new builders to the nitty gritty inner workings of building projects to help guide experienced builders. While a lot of the content is focused specifically on the building process and less on design trends, Tim provides something for everyone. Ask The Builder also has a blog and social media outlets, allowing you to explore Tim’s written insights as well.

The YouTube page is updated at least three times per week, providing a steady stream of new information and inspiration for your current project and those ahead of you.
