In this episode, we talk to Anthony Burke. You might know him as the ubiquitous host of multiple renovation TV shows on the national broadcaster, including Grand Designs Australia, Grand Designs Transformations and Restoration Australia. (He's even got a new one about Asian design, called Culture by Design.) Today, he shifts from sympathising with those in the midst of their own particular building dilemmas to offer more general advice to all of us who contemplate building or renovating what is usually our most valuable and emotional investment: the family home. Among other things, Burke gives us a checklist of dos and don'ts – and things to bear in mind when it comes to our own construction projects. Hosting this conversation is Good Weekend senior writer Amanda Hooton.
