Jim’s family had an architectural background and, alongside Kristy, started building custom homes as speculative projects as they transitioned the family to Central Oregon, where the two eventually developed Pacwest Builders, a full-service design/build firm.

Kristine Yozamp is an innovative award-winning interior designer who blends the creativity of design with the practicality of Bend living. Kristine’s passion for new residential construction is balanced by her passion to create beautiful homes throughout Central Oregon[/vc_column_text][mk_image src=”https://buildmagazine.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ted-bainbridge-20220314_174246-scaled.jpg” image_size=”full” title=”Ted, Jim, & Kristine”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625782555768{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Key Quotes from Episode

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1647534564988{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

• The fewer issues you have with specification, pricing, and timing, the better the process. If you get somebody that wants to be oversold in any one of those three areas, run. If they want price promises that don’t exist and won’t exist, they’re just going to be a complete nightmare to collect your money from. And if they have expectations of that finish that doesn’t align up with their budgets, you need to make that clear upfront. ~Jim
• We’re big on under promising and over delivering, and if they want it the other way around, we’re not your people. ~Jim
