Why do we do what we do? Plus checklists for your project.

Hello! This is Episode 218, and in it, I’m going to take a slightly different direction.
This is very different to the episode I had originally planned for Episode 218. I was going to share a list of checklists every renovation or new build project needs - and don’t worry - I’ll still mention them so you have the info, so stay tuned for that in this episode.
However, there’s a few things that have come up the past week that I want to share with you. Largely because I think it may actually be more relevant and more helpful to your project journey than me telling you about checklists.
However, this info is just a bit harder for me to talk about, because I’m going to get personal. It always feels a bit indulgent to spend this time with you talking about my own learnings and experience. But let’s give it a try, shall we?
Because time and time again, when I do, I get feedback that it’s helpful. And having worked with homeowners for over 25 years, I know that you’re often experiencing quite similar things both inside your project, and outside of it, so to bring these things into the light can also be helpful and validating too.
Of course, if you’re not interested, now is your opportunity to switch this podcast episode off!
And as I said, I will mention the checklists also - I’ve got eight to talk about with you, that I’ll share at the end of this episode.
You can also grab a full transcript of this episode, plus info about other helpful links and resources related to this topic, as a free PDF download by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/218.
Now, let’s dive in!
SHOW NOTES:
If you’re struggling with understanding the overall steps for your project, what you should be focussing on and when, or how to best invest your efforts, energy and money to get a great outcome in your future home, I’ve created something super helpful for you.

Previous Episode
Build Phase: Mistakes to Avoid
Hello! This is Episode #217, and it’s the last of four episodes where I’ve been discussing in more detail the four phases of building or renovating your family home.
In this episode, I’m talking about the Build Phase.
If you haven’t listened to the previous three episodes, I’d really encourage you to do so. In them, you’ll learn about the other three phases of any project, which are:
- Pre-Design
- Design
- Pre-Build
... and you’ll learn the most commonly made mistakes in each of those phases. Effort and time spent in those three phases will enable you to have a smoother Build Phase overall.
So, even if you’re only listening to this because you’re about to start your Build Phase, it’s worthwhile going through those previous three episodes to ensure you’ve covered all your bases before diving into construction.
Now, when you’re planning on renovating or building your future home, it’s natural to be really heavily focussed on the Build Phase. Because it can feel like that’s where all the action is, and many feel that’s where they’ll need the most help.
And yet, many approach the Build Phase of their project without a true understanding of what it should be like, how they can improve their experience, and the steps to take to avoid dramas and issues. They’re in a hurry to get here, and don’t do what’s required to get themselves suitably prepared.
So, I’ll be sharing more about that, and the common mistakes to avoid.
You'll also hear from a HOME Method member about their project experience as well, and how they found it to work with me during their renovation. And I’ll be reminding you about what is currently going on with HOME Method if it’s been on your radar to jump into for your project.
Remember too, you can grab a full transcript of this episode, plus info about other helpful links and resources related to this topic, as a free PDF download by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/217. So be sure to do that so you can file that away and review this episode as needed.

This episode will be about the Build phase, and the mistakes to avoid during this phase.
I have three key mistakes many make, and I’ll share what they are, the damage they can do, and how you can, and should, avoid them in your project.
I unfortunately receive lots of emails from homeowners who tell me they discovered Undercover Architect too late.
It’s very hard for me to help you avoid dramas when you’re already bound into a legal agreement via a building contract.
And so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not too late for you, and right now you’re listening to this podcast to get prepared before you sign a building contract. But even if you’ve already signed one - I think there’ll still be useful info in here for you.
Tune into this episode, and learn more about the commonly made mistakes in the Build Phase that can make your project far more stressful than it needs to be.
