In this first episode they introduce the many different roles they take on a project, marriage counsellors, financial consultants, therapists - as well as architects and builders. Building your home can be one of the most stressful (and rewarding) things that you can do, so it’s not surprising that it might feel like you need a little therapy to get through it. They would like to invite you into a comfortable chair and offer their services. They dig into the detail of how to design and build spaces so if you’re about to start your own build, you’re interested in buildings or are a budding designer then this podcast will show how they do it, and the importance of trust in your relationship with your architect and builder.

This first podcast will discuss how a project runs and how it can be equated to a therapy session.
