  • An absolute gem

    This has got to be one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I’ve been working through the episodes from the beginning over the last few weeks and it has been the most incredible source of knowledge for designing our new home. Well laid out information, great tips and common mistakes. Thank you so much Amelia. Our home is going to be 1000x better because of you.

  • A wealth of information

    I am so grateful I found this podcast! I can’t believe the amount of useful information Amelia has available for free. We’re in the process of designing a new home and I feel so much more informed than I was before I became a listener. I am no longer daunted and feel we are going to get the home we want. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone thinking about embarking on or who has already started a building or renovation project.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Enjoy Your Renovation Process and Keep It on Track, with Tanya
Q: What was the most stressful part and how did you manage it?
The budgeting value management stage was stressful but essential; we worked through it with the architect and builder to decide what to spend where, before construction began, which prevented disruptive changes mid-build.
How to Enjoy Your Renovation Process and Keep It on Track, with Tanya
Q: Can you describe what your project communication felt like, how it was run, and how your role differed from initial expectations?
We established a smooth two-way flow with the team, used weekly site meetings to see decisions come together, and I took responsibility for recording meeting notes to keep everyone aligned and on track.
Lessons from a New Build: Budget, Solar Shading and Teamwork, with Michael
Q: What would be your advice to somebody earlier in their project based on your experience?
Engage with a designer or architect who aligns with your expectations, take time to choose the right fit, and be prepared to challenge ideas and refine the design. Having a clear brief, understanding the budget, and building a collaborative, two-way relationship with the designer, builder, and trades leads to a more confident and smoother build process.
New Build Update: From Lock Up to Handover and Moving In, with Michael
Q: How did the builder coordinate with trades during the finish-out, and was there ongoing involvement from you as clients?
He explains the builder's strong coordination across multiple trades, regular engagement with trades at the client's invitation, and how decisions were made in stages (paint colors, cabinetry, lighting). The process required patience, but the collaborative approach contributed to a cohesive final result.
New Build Update: From Lock Up to Handover and Moving In, with Michael
Q: What surprised you about living in the finished home and the process of finalizing details?
Michael notes that the home feels more spacious than expected, with strong indoor-outdoor connection and a landscape that integrates with the topography. He also highlights minor post-occupancy adjustments to lighting and switches, and the value of flexible planning to accommodate tweaks after moving in.
