Navigating the Complexities of Volume Building

In this episode, we're joined by Sarah Bryant from Bryant Alsop Architects who breaks down the process of hiring an architect and how important it is to find the right fit between you, your architect, and your builder.

Sarah also gives us a peek into the range of services her firm offers, from design and documentation to contract administration and assisting with tenders, and walks us through the five key stages of the architectural process: Concept Design, Design Development, Documentation, Tender, and Construction. 

We cover the importance of clear communication and having a trusted guide to help you through the sometimes tricky world of building projects. Plus, she touches on the costs of hiring an architect and why investing in the right team from the start makes all the difference for a smooth, successful build.

From DIY to Done-for-You: Design, Plan, and Build Your Perfect Kitchen with Kaboodle!

In this episode, Rebeka sits down with BuildHer Kate Hawkins to talk about her recent renovation project in Geelong, which she impressively finished in just six weeks!

Having made a bold move to uplift their family's life from New South Wales, Kate opens up about how she found the property and the vision that guided the renovation.

They dive into the satisfaction that comes from hands-on work, and the emotional connection that grows when you're personally invested in a project, making mindful decisions to create a home, not just complete a quick "flip" project.

Kate also touches on the value of building strong, long-term relationships with tradespeople and the care she took to honour the home's heritage throughout the renovation process.

This beautiful home is now on the market which you can view below - best of luck Kate!
