New Home Build with Affordability and Family in Mind, with Tatiana

New Home Build with Affordability and Family in Mind, with Tatiana

Hello! This is Episode 350, and in it, I’m talking with HOME Method member, Tatiana. She lives with her partner and three boys in regional Queensland, and is getting ready to design and build their new home.

We meet Tatiana at the very beginning of her journey. Their project faces challenges, including a tight budget, council restrictions due to a nearby water treatment plant, and managing sun exposure for the local climate.

Having experienced a previous renovation, but now finding their existing home inefficient overall, Tatiana discusses how much bigger and significant it feels to design and build a new home … especially as someone who hasn’t grown up in Australia. She says it “feels like she’s learning English all over again” as she dives into the terminology-rich construction industry!

Tatiana would love to also follow the PAC Process, or Paid As Consultant Process, where a builder is brought on board as a paid consultant during pre-construction to work collaboratively with the designer and client to provide input on cost and buildability.

(This is a process I teach to members inside HOME Method and provide tools and templates they can use to check with builders and set up their project well).

You’ll hear how she’s finding a builder to help with this, which has proven challenging given her regional location, and local builders not being too familiar with the concept.

Because how do you present the PAC process to a builder and designer who has not worked that way before so that they consider it? We talk more about that in this episode.

If you’re preparing and researching for your project, I think you’ll find this episode super helpful, as Tatiana and I discuss the steps she’s taking to get started, and I share lots of tips and suggestions to manage the constraints of the site, and what to consider in the home’s layout to work with the site and climate.
