HOME TRUTHS: What actually happens once your build starts
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Once the build starts, a renovation enters a completely different phase.
In this episode of Home Truths, we talk about the realities of life on site - how communication, decision-making and money flow through a project once construction begins.
We discuss how productive site meetings work, how the builder-client-designer relationship functions day to day, and why tensions sometimes arise during a build. The conversation also explores the financial side of construction: interim payments, variations, change control and why renovation budgets often evolve once hidden conditions are uncovered.
Rather than trying to eliminate change entirely, the key is having clear processes that allow decisions, costs and expectations to be managed calmly and transparently.
If you’re about to start a renovation - or already in the thick of one - this episode offers practical insight into how to keep a build running smoothly while protecting the relationships that make it possible.
