Zero

Form boards, rebar, and gravel become a foundation. Every number in the build is set before a single wall goes up.

What happens

The lot is dirt and a survey stake. By the end of the day it is a slab, and the slab is the moment the house stops being a drawing and starts being a liability. Brandon walks the pour, explains what the lot economics already decided, and puts the opening budget on the record. Everything the season measures gets measured from here.

The stakes

The lot economics and the foundation set every number that follows. Get the slab wrong and there is no version of the build that recovers.
