You can imagine that, in all the years I’ve been helping homeowners design, build and renovate their homes … in working with them as their architect,, and since 2014 inside Undercover Architect, I’ve had loads of people ask me questions along the lines of this:
Hey Amelia - what do I really need to make this project work. To not waste money, to get it right in my home design, to know enough so I don’t get taken advantage of, to make the best decisions for the budget I have to spend, and to create a home that I’ll love living in?
What do I need to do, to have, to be, to know to have a great project and create a great home?
Or a question along those lines!
And since starting Undercover Architect in mid 2014, almost ten years ago now, I’ve definitely found I’ve experienced these questions en masse. Rather than getting them one at a time from potential clients as I did when I practiced traditionally as an architect, they now come in emails, social DMs, chat conversations on Zoom … and it’s generally along the same lines.
It’s totally understandable. Renovating and building can feel incredibly overwhelming to the uninitiated. It’s a big expense, a big undertaking, a time consuming process as well, and it has a long lasting impact on your finances, your lifestyle, your well-being and your life long-term.
Understanding what you need to do, and what is the simplest, most direct and effective way to achieve success is, of course, really worthwhile knowledge to have.
But I’ve found that watching what homeowners will do to try and achieve that understanding is really interesting.
And what people think they need and want when embarking on their renovation or new build, compared to what they really do need to improve their project and home, is also interesting.
So, to answer this question, I came up with the 3 building blocks I believe make all the difference in creating a great project and a great home.
I first shared this concept on a webinar I did earlier this year, and it really resonated with those that attended. So I wanted to bring it here to you on the podcast to help you as well.
