UndercoverArchitect-As-Seen-In

When it comes to renovating or building,
what are your greatest fears?

And there are 4 fears I hear, time and time again.

Cost

"I'm really worried about what this will all cost, and how we'll avoid having budget blowouts."

Time

"I'm worried about how much time my project will take, and how we'll manage delays."

Knowledge

"I don't know what I don't know, so I'm nervous about that causing problems."

Stuffing-It-Up

"I really don't want to stuff it up, and have to live with my mistakes and regrets long-term."

But dig deeper under these 4 fears of
+ COST
+ TIME
+ KNOWLEDGE
+ STUFFING IT UP
and homeowners tell me this is what keeps them up at night ...

  • can we actually afford to do this project?
  • how can we avoid it crippling us financially?
  • will it monopolise and overtake my already very full life?
  • how do I stop feeling like I'm walking around with a target on my forehead?
  • how do I ensure that we get what we’re paying for?
  • will this home actually be worth this effort, time and money?
  • how do I not let my family down?

Many feel foolish for admitting these fears
because for some reason we think we're supposed to know what we're doing.

BUT ...

  • 50% of projects go over budget
  • The industry suffers a disproportionate amount of insolvencies, leaving projects unfinished
  • It’s not a one-size-fits-all experience or process, as every site, client and home are different
  • And regrets can be numerous

And so your fears are completely understandable.

And feeling confused and overwhelmed at the start, is totally normal too.

For many, their way to tackle these concerns and fears is this:

They focus all their efforts on finding the right designer, or architect, or builder. And then they hand over everything to them, to take care of the rest.

They then jump straight into the ‘fun stuff’ of choosing colours, fixtures and finishes, and figuring out all the nice and lovely things they want in their future home.

[#spoileralert: This is a mistake]

Because (surprise!) renovating and building involves much more than this.

And unfortunately, many figure this out too late and start making lots of mistakes ...

When there's lots of money flying out of their hands, they’re navigating a terminology-rich industry, and feeling uncertain and out of control of their project and future home.

And, when it comes to your home, these mistakes are expensive, avoidable and long-term.

Unfortunately, no amount of styling can hide bad design or overcome poor build quality.

Over the 30+ years I’ve been guiding and supporting homeowners as they design, build and renovate their homes, I see 3 common pitfalls that spell problems in any project:

Not knowing the questions to ask in their project

(or even being aware just how many questions you can and should ask)

Ignoring the red flags and nagging concerns

(because you haven't learnt enough about what to expect to enable you to trust yourself and those feelings)

Acting like an employee in your own project

(and outsourcing your agency, being fearful of challenging conversations or appearing like a nag or difficult client)

So, how do you avoid being tripped up or derailed by these pitfalls as you make your future home a reality?
