If you’re a teacher, you may love working with students but hate grading and lesson planning.
For people in creative fields, the love/hate relationship with work can be even more passionate.
But the wrong bang out of project can be a soul-sucking slog.

Over time, the Doziers have discovered exactly why their favorite projects meant so much to them.
In thisexclusive interview with The List, they share the types they love most.
Whatever they did, the couple wanted it to honor the local landscape and its natural beauty.

For them, building relationships is as important as building homes.
“We have some of the best clients.
Many of these projects have a story,” Ben Dozier told The List.

“Even before the TV show, we found ourselves only doing projects that have a story.
I was not interested.
I lost all jot down of motivation and inspiration.”
For the couple, their favorite projects go far deeper than satisfaction from a job well done.
“It’s more about people, less about the project.”
