" With Igor’s guidance, I saved about $200,000 on my build. He showed me smarter ways to design and sequence the project that cut huge costs without lowering the quality. That kind of saving changes the entire game for a first-time builder like me. "
" I am a member of this program where I can learn at my own pace all of this online knowledge of building construction with tons of tons of details which I cannot find in different programs."
“ It's been amazing seeing these Eurostyle modern houses with top-notch finishes around Austin. I'm learning these techniques to apply them myself. If you want to build houses the right way, talk to Igor and his team at Art Village. ”
“ I would recommend anybody that's wanting to learn to build, even if you're already building, because they will get an outside of the box experience. ”
“ We have the excellent opportunity to have this bootcamp day with Dmytro and his partner. Excellent quality, great day, no BS. These are the real guys, over met my expectations. ”
" What I enjoyed most was the detail and how open everybody was. They answered all our questions, gave us ideas, shared information about where they get their materials, and pretty much how to do the business. "
“ I didn't want to know really what to expect, but this was fantastic. Learned building from the ground up. Got to see five different houses plus all that Igor and his staff have done over the years. And also sourcing materials. This was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend it.”
" I came to this course because I want to build my own house as a GC. This day taught me a lot on how to process my plans, the bank processes, all the documents needed, and how to schedule things out. They answered every question we had. We went through all three phases: from excavation and foundation, through framing, to the finishing touches. "
" Igor shared invaluable information about importing materials at very cost-efficient prices. In my building journey, everything I learned today has been priceless. "
" It's been really helpful. We've gone from project that are in construction, starting from the foundation all the way up to finish. They spent the entire day with us and they answered every question. They covered every detail, and no question was too small for them to pay the most detail to. "
" I learned a lot and I totally recommend this course to someone that is a beginner and learn to be here and be part of the group, and you will love it. "
" Every single aspect that's involved in a home construction, he has walked us through and taken us onto the site, has brought us a wide exposure to how things are handled on site. And it's definitely a great experience for anyone who is interested in learning how to start the building process, or if anyone who is interested just to learn. "
" By them being able to do that, I feel that in my smaller projects, I'm getting that confidence that it could be done, that you just need a team. And I feel that's where I need, probably need some help finding people that can help me achieve my personal success and my journey and becoming a builder. "
