This is episode 189 of the Get it Right podcast. In this episode I’ll be covering the kick-off stage of your project. 

This is where you’re past the ideas stage, and know you want to get going, but you’re not sure about who to hire or next steps, and who you should speak to first. 

We’ll be covering the mistakes to avoid, the key ways to get it right in this stage, and an action step for you to make great progress in the right direction.

I’m super excited to be diving into this episode, where we’re talking about your first steps in kicking off your project. 

This is the stage where you’re past the ideas stage, and know you want to get going, but you’re not sure about who to hire or next steps, and who you should speak to first. 

We’ll be covering the mistakes to avoid, the key ways to get it right in this stage, and an action step for you to make great progress in the right direction.

If you’re heading somewhere you’ve never been before, and all you’re doing is figuring out the next step as soon as you’ve made the last one, it won’t take much for you to get lost, bamboozled or taken advantage of.

So, there’s two parts to this. 

One is getting an understanding of the roadmap ahead. The steps you’ll need to take to get from your kick-off stage to that completed home that’s ready to move into - and even beyond, as you navigate defects liability periods and warranties after the builder is gone.

Knowing this roadmap, the step-by-step process, is so critical to your success, because it means you can always anticipate what is coming up next, and who you’ll need to help you. And it means you can streamline things overall, rather than dealing with one bucket of tasks and work, and having a big gap in time before you find out what’s next. Or worse still, having to trace back over previous work because you didn’t do all the things you were supposed to do before you moved forward.

The second part is about not only knowing your roadmap, but also knowing your strategy. Knowing your strategy is about making sure you start the right project, or choose the right approach to your design, your planning approvals, your overall project. 

There’s loads here to help you kick-off your project with the best first steps.
