If you’re a US resident, and planning a remodel or a new home, you might be worried about ...
Being taken advantage of because you don't really know what you're doing, or what you might be missing along the way
Wasting money and time on design ideas, products and choices you're not sure will work, or that you'll regret
Unknowingly choosing a terrible contractor who, in the end, leaves you with a defective house and thousands of dollars out of pocket

What if instead, remodeling or building your family home meant ...
Finding a reliable, great quality team of professionals who will support and guide you through the whole process and a contractor you trust, who will keep your project on budget and time
Being armed with the tools you need to spot red flags before they turn into massive cost and time overruns, or cause big headaches
Moving into a beautiful quality home that feels great, and you feel great in - that truly works for you and your family!

What if you could actually know, BEFORE you invest time, money and energy in your project … that you'll get what you're paying for, and reach the home you're dreaming of?

In this episode, I’m going to share how this is possible, and so if you’re a USA resident, then this podcast episode is for you.

SHOW NOTES:

The Welcome Home Course is an online course, created for USA residents who are planning to remodel or build their family home. We launched this course earlier this month (November of 2018). If you’ve been checking it out, the introductory offer we have to enrol ends Nov 30, a few days from now if you’re listening to this live.

In this episode, I share how and why the course was created, how it will help you, and what you get when you enrol.

The Welcome Home Course is laid out to take you through all 4 stages of your remodel or new build project.

These 4 stages are:
Before you begin
Getting your design right
Before you build
Getting your project built

In each Module, we share the key steps, mistakes to avoid and strategies to use. You’ll hear real-life case studies, recommendations for finding great people, things we wish we’d done differently, and what is really involved in creating a home that’s functional and feels great … and a project journey that’s enjoyable.

There’s also a section called Your Location. 

The United States is a big place, with a huge range of variety in climate and local conditions from State to State. This section of The Welcome Home Course will teach you critical information needed to understand how to design for your locality, weather and conditions.

When you know this information, you can design a home that protects and shelters you, and lowers its heating and cooling costs as well. These decisions can be made early, often at no extra cost, and can make a significant difference in the performance, functionality and feel of your home. And so I’ve collated together some key information to help you understand this more for your specific location.

In addition, 'The Welcome Home Course' includes a series of downloadable PDF bonus resources I've created and tailored for you. Hundreds of homeowners have used these resources, and loved the guided support as they plan and execute their project.

There’s more information about what each of the modules include in videos and bonus resources on www.undercoverarchitect.com/welcomehome

Lastly, let me share with you the words of 2 American homeowners who’ve learnt this step-by-step system. 

Trina was at the very beginning of her process, and planning a new home. She said, "I wanted to learn about creating a great floor plan that works for our family. I needed a push to get started because it feels overwhelming doing it on our own. Also, I hoped to learn what questions to ask to the architect and how to communicate well with the people who are building our house."

"This course gives you confidence as you go into your project. It helps you to be better prepared to ask questions to the right professionals and will hopefully save you time, money (and disappointment) in the long run - be that picking the right people, getting the floor plan that works for you, asking the right questions, and being prepared as to the whole process." ... Trina

Trina, since learning this system, is now nearing the end of her design process, and working with contractors to finalise her price and start construction. What’s been amazing has been seeing how she’s known how to mitigate risk in her project … and how she’s really taken charge of the process, ensuring she’s making decisions in an informed way.

Jea had specific reasons for joining. And these may sound familiar to you … She said, "I am a planner and I take a long time to make decisions. I want to have all of my ducks in a row before I hire an architect so I am not blind-sided by lots of new information and options. I need time to mull things over before I make decisions, and I don't want to hold up the project once it has begun. I also don't want to make quick decisions that I then regret. I like to know all of my options, think about them all, visualize, keep thinking, visualize some more, then decide."

"Thank you for sharing your experience; your talents; and your kind, compassionate, patient, and authentic personality. You are making a positive contribution not only to your field but to the online world in general. It's been a great experience." ... Jea

When I last heard from Jea she was diving into finding a suitable architect to get her project moving.

I wanted to really share some detailed information about The Welcome Home Course because I know that any investment, when it comes to your future home, is super important and has to be worthwhile. My aim with this online course is to save you far more money than its cost, but more importantly to really help you be a confident and empowered collaborator in your project. So you actually know how to ask for what you want, be sure you’re getting what you’re paying for, and end up with the perfect home for you and your family.

Previous members have told me that they’ve been asked by design professionals and contractors what part of the industry they’re from, because they’re so well-informed. This shift … in going from thinking you’ll be a target, and have to avoid being taken advantage of … to having the professionals believe you to be a colleague in the industry - what would that do for your confidence? Your experience? And the home you create? That’s what The Welcome Home Course is all about.

If you’re listening to this at the time of release, make the most of the limited time introductory offer as it ends in the next couple of days. If not, The Welcome Home Course is still super affordable given how much it will help you save in time, money and stress. When you join, you’ll get access to Module 1 straight away, and weekly for the next 3 weeks after that, another Module will get released to you. Your access to the course doesn’t expire as I want you to be able to learn this whilst getting ready, and then have it to refer back to you as you execute your project. You’ll also get access to future updates as well.
