Learning the Hard Knocks Way
Forbes path was fraught with financial and logistical challenges, but these experiences forged his resilient and adaptive approach. "I've been doing this for 20 years now, and I think I've learned most of my lessons—at least the expensive ones," he says with a wry smile. His initial challenges taught him invaluable lessons that shaped the ethos of Headstrong Homes. Attention to Detail: A Defining Trait One of the most distinguishing features of Headstrong Homes is its meticulous attention to detail. Forbes personally designs all his projects, ensuring that every home is a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality. "A lot of builders just follow the plans without question. I critique them and discuss concerns with homeowners," he explains. This hands-on approach ensures that each project is tailored to the client's vision while remaining practical, cost-effective and structurally sound. Forbes emphasizes the importance of cost- efficiency without compromising quality. "We evaluate every aspect of the design, looking for ways to save money. For example, placing windows in closets might seem like a good idea aesthetically, but it’s often unnecessary and costly. We help our clients make these decisions to optimize their budgets," he says. Forbes ensures to source products from various countries to maintain a balance between budget and high quality. This demonstrates his commitment to going above and beyond
