About
PUNCHLIST:
“Kitchen Nightmares” meets “Holmes Inspection” meets “Designing for the Sexes”
A half-hour home improvement reality television series targeting the 18-to‐49‐year‐old demographic where the sweet and beautiful Interior Designer, Hawlie Ohe and brutally honest expert Architect/Contractor Scott Harris team up in a Good Cop/Bad Cop scenario to help improve the lives and homes of overwhelmed and
emotionally-charged homeowners.
SYNOPSIS:
Homeowners in need of help fixing and organizing their home (and lives) invite the PUNCHLIST TEAM into their home. Architect/Contractor Scott Harris, with his discerning eye and brutally honest nature, verbally rips the home (and homeowners) apart; and rates their home in it’s present condition (likely resulting in a 1‐3 out of 10) with a large bar graphic. In every episode, Scott storms off, leaving Interior Designer Hawlie to console the heartbroken and overwhelmed homeowners to come up with design solutions and a plan of action to correct the “Punchlist” left by Scott. Scott’s crew helps the homeowners fix the deficiencies, with Hawlie and Scott checking in from time to time, all-the-while disagreeing on the process unfolding before them. Scott, of course, directing his crew to refabricate anything that doesn’t meet his sometimes unrealistic high standards. When the homeowner’s renovation time is up, Scott storms in and “punches” a giant red button giving the team 30 minutes to complete their Punchlist. Hawlie helps with finishing touches, transforming the spaces into a beautifully organized home. Scott rates the home, again with the bar graphic...will it still be a 3? Or will it be a 6 or 7? Or will the homeowners achieve the forever illusive 10? Stay tuned to find out! From beginning to end, tears are flowing on this emotional renovation rollercoaster.
Since the age of five, Scott Harris has been consumed with a fascination about the way things work and dreamed of becoming a builder. After
following his calling and winning numerous awards for his work, at the age of
15, Scott’s teachers selected him for an experimental curriculum to immerse
him in the world of architecture and construction. Following his passion at the
age of 20, he earned his General Contractor’s license and launched his
business building his client’s homes by day and designing them by night.
Although his services were quickly sought after, he felt that a better under- standing of design could elevate the final product. Scott temporarily put his clients on hold after he was hand-selected to study and work with one of the world’s most influential designers, Barbara Barry. He focused for over five years learning the best-kept trade secrets of design, harmonies and mathematical proportions. He continued to gain even more valuable experience and further evolve his design insights while working at the prestigious ‘Studio William Hefner’.
Scott's work has been published multiple times in periodicals such as: Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Interior Design, LUXE Magazine, Metropolitan Home and Traditional Home. Some of the clients he has had the honor to work with include Paul Allen (Microsoft co-founder), John Paul Dejoria (Paul Mitchell co-founder), actor Kevin Costner, actor Kevin James, the Sultan of Brunei and many more. Some of his previous commercial projects include the Savoy Hotel in London, AOC restaurant in Los Angeles, the Saint Francis Hotel along with Restaurant ‘Michel Mina’ in San Francisco, and the flagship retail store and cafe for Catherine Malandrino in Los Angeles.
After weaving 24 years of construction, architecture and interior design experience, Scott Harris co-founded Building Construction Group in 2005. The firm is based on placing the client’s needs first and bringing a welcomed, well-rounded, five-star product & service experience that has been sought out by many of Los Angeles’ elite. This unique philosophy has quickly turned this company into one of the most respected construction firms in Los Angeles.
Scott is currently building "America's Greenest Home" for Ed Begley Jr., which is being chronicled in the webseries "On Begley Street".

Los Angeles based interior designer, Hawlie Ohe, is proficient in man-
aging all aspects of each design project including conceptualization,
drawings, renderings, furniture and materials selections, and installation.
Prior to starting her interior design career, Hawlie worked as a television
news reporter, entertainment host, and lifestyle blogger, the latter of
which fueled her passion for design and interiors. Hawlie earned her
post graduate degree from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchan-
dising (FIDM) in Los Angeles and has trained under some of the most
influential designers of the day, including Kelly Wearstler and Lori
Dennis.
Hawlie specializes in residential design, creating interiors ranging in
style from contemporary to traditional, and most importantly rooms that
are comfortable, personable, and with an aura of sophistication. Hawlie is a firm believer in sustainable design, not only for the environment, but also for the client’s budget. Her design mantra, “buy it once, buy
it right,” speaks to her ability to create timeless spaces that are stylish, not trendy. Hawlie’s signature designs often incorporate classical design motifs, a soft color palette, and antique or vintage furnishings. Many of her interiors feature treasures found in Hawlie’s own online vintage shop, Patina Bee, originating from the phrase “let patina be,” and speaks to her love for beauty in imperfections.
