Hello! This is Episode 344, and in it, I’m celebrating the 8th birthday of the Undercover Architect podcast.
I can’t quite believe it’s been 8 years that I’ve been doing this. And given it’s been a while since I’ve done a solo episode, I thought I would take this episode to share some updates with you about home design, building and renovating, what we’re seeing in Undercover Architect, and life in general.

And, in September we marked the 10th birthday of Undercover Architect itself. Combine that with it being December at the time of recording this, and coming up to the end of the year, it’s a great time to review, reflect, celebrate and plan.
There’s three things in particular I want to chat about in this episode.
The first is about HOW we live, and some conversations and research I’ve been doing lately, that I’m keen to understand if you’d like to hear more about.
The second is about the industry itself, and where I believe the opportunity lies for the biggest improvement - and again, I’m keen to hear if you’d like me to share more about this.
The third is a story I received from a homeowner about their project … and how $450,000 in predicted project costs became $2.4 million.
It may sound a bit rambly, as this is a mental download of a lot of what I’ve been thinking about and discussing with others lately.
I’ve tried to put some structure in it … but my thoughts are not necessarily happening in a structured way! But rather than holding back, or waiting to perfect and polish it, I’m going to share it with you warts and all.
So, stay tuned, as I dive into all of this.
