Managing Budget, Design and Builder Selection for a New Build with Fionna and Ed

Hello! This is Episode 378, and it’s Part 2 of my conversation with HOME Method members Fionna and Ed, who are building a new home in Canberra on a challenging but amazing site, where the home design responds to the unique site conditions, as well as the goals they have for their lifestyle into the future.

If you’ve missed out on the first part of this conversation, head back to Episode 377 to learn more about how they secured their block, the due diligence they went through, and getting started on their project. You can find that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/377

In this latest update, you’ll hear how they collaborated with their architect through the design process. We also explore the practicalities of budget management during design and how they selected their builder.

Fionna and Ed also share the detailed thinking behind elements like their flat roof design, airtightness, threshold detailing, and passive performance. And how their team’s professionalism, transparency, and willingness to upskill gave them complete confidence through the process.

If you’re looking to better understand how to work with your team, manage your budget, or prepare for the complexities of building well, this is an incredibly generous and insightful episode I’m sure you’ll find super helpful.
