This is episode 190 of the Get it Right podcast. In this episode I’ll be talking about those who are DIY’ing their design, and know that soon they’ll be on the hunt for a builder to make it a reality.

There are many, many homeowners who design their own home from scratch, and then go straight to a builder. They see it as a means of maintaining full control on the process, and getting what they want in their future home. 

But there’s some key things to pay attention to if this is your approach, so that you don’t end up making mistakes, or just overlooking the things that can make your home truly special and enjoyable to live in.

When I practiced traditionally as an architect, I had no idea how many homeowners fully designed their own new homes and renovations.

I knew that people drew up sketches with ideas for their future homes, but I thought that was where it stopped … and then they found a designer or an architect to continue the process.

Since starting Undercover Architect in mid 2014, I have learned just how many of you do design your homes from scratch. As in fully design them: deciding on the floor plan, the elevations, the interior design. And even go so far as to learn software like SketchUp to be able to model them in 3D and really push and play with the design.

Some homeowners just really want to do it this way. 

Be it because they have a love of design and have always been really passionate about creating their own home. 

Or they’ve had a bad experience with a designer in the past, and feel they want full ownership of things this time. 

Or because they just feel that to maintain control and get what they really want, they need to be the one creating the design themselves.
