Season One · Eight or More Episodes · Fall 2026
From Dirt to Done
Everybody sees the finished house. Almost nobody sees the chaos, the margins, or the decisions that got it there.
Builder Brandon Stavros takes you inside eight active job sites in the American Southwest and proves that building a home has a lot less to do with paint colors than it does with surviving the math.

Season One
Does the build survive the math?
The budget stays open across the whole season. The finale is where it finally gets answered.
01In post-productionMoney Street
Form boards, rebar, and gravel become a foundation. Every number in the build is set before a single wall goes up.
The Numbers
02In post-productionTahachpi
Framing is the only part of a house you can see the truth of. After drywall, you are trusting somebody.
Why It Looks Like That
03FilmingGame Bird
A nearly finished house meets a family that needs it to work differently. The question is not whether it can change. It is whether it should.
The Numbers
04FilmingKiowa
Three houses on one street, all going up at once. They are in three completely different moments.
What Your Builder Knows
Two shows, one channel
The emotional journey of a single build.
One property, followed from the first shovel of dirt to the final walkthrough. Cinematic, grounded, and told in order, because the order is the story.
For: Future homebuyers, architecture enthusiasts, general audiences.
The brutal math of the construction business.
Jumps between active sites to focus on margins, carrying costs, supply chain, and the engineering decisions that protect the bottom line. Direct, authoritative, no fluff.
For: Contractors, real estate investors, tradespeople, business-minded viewers.
Every episode, every time
Familiar beats for the viewer. For a brand, a named position attached to the exact moment a product shows up in a real build.
What it actually cost.
A transparent breakdown of the real costs, margins, and financial risk behind one decision in the episode. No rounded figures, no vague ranges.

Construction and business software, lending, insurance
The ugly parts, explained.
Brandon explains the unfinished or confusing parts of a build. Why ducting routes the way it does. Why a firewall needs a specific material. Why the sequence cannot be reordered.
Open to
Building materials, fasteners, envelope systems, windows
Where to spend, where to save.
Insider guidance for the buyer. Spend on the bones of the house. Save on the finishes. The advice a builder gives a friend and rarely gives a customer.

Fixtures, appliances, paint, smart home, finishes
The roster
Every location in the show is an active Homes by Apollo project in Nevada. Real budgets, real crews, real inspection dates. The scale is not staged, which is exactly why no other channel can shoot it.

Season One partnerships
We are pre-launch and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can offer is something a big channel cannot: a named position in a show that is still being built, at a founding rate, with your category locked for the season.
Your product goes into a real wall, in a real house, in the episode where it belongs, installed by the crew that installs it every day. Then you get every number we have, every month, including the ones we wish were better.
“The Numbers,
presented by your brand.”
New episode alerts and progress from all eight builds. No filler, no noise, nothing you did not ask for.
Job Site Approved
Heavyweight tees, hoodies, and hats built for a job site rather than a gift shop. Running on Fourthwall alongside Season One.
Store opens with Season One
Questions
Season One launches with the first four episodes and runs eight or more across the season. Episodes one and two are shot and in post-production, and three and four are filming now. Join the list and you will know the release date before it is announced anywhere else.
YouTube first. Every episode publishes to the Slab Happy channel, with short-form cuts across the social channels between drops.
No. Nobody is flipping anything. These are new-construction homes being built by the builder who is hosting the show, on sites that were already active before a camera arrived.
Every site on the roster is an active Homes by Apollo project in Nevada. The budgets discussed on camera are the actual budgets.
Yes. The Job Site Approved line runs on Fourthwall alongside Season One. Heavyweight tees, hoodies, and hats built for a job site rather than a gift shop. Get on the list and you will hear when the store opens.
