Today’s episode is going to be a very different episode than usual, but I think these 3 quick home build tips are going to be super helpful to a lot of people.

Soooo … I got some GREAT questions from a woman who attended my free masterclass.

I answered her questions in a voice memo and I’m sharing that exact voice memo (unedited and all) in this podcast episode.

I’m doing this because there are some golden nuggets that I think anyone building a house can take away from these answers … whether you choose to join BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ or not.

I’ll play that voice memo for you and then I’ll come back onto the podcast and tell you WHY I think this is super helpful for anyone who is planning to build a house.

Ready to confidently build a house that you absolutely LOVE and is perfect for YOUR family (now + into the future) … without blowing your budget? Learn how in my *FREE* masterclass, ‘How to Build Your Dream Home on Budget without Sacrificing Your Must-Haves’. 🙌 Grab your (virtual) seat here!

Hey there! Welcome to the ‘Before You Build’ podcast. I’m your host, Carrie Barker (aka, Caroline on Design). 

Today’s episode is going to be a very different episode than usual, but I think these 3 quick home build tips are going to be super helpful to a lot of people.

Soooo … I got some GREAT questions from a woman who attended my free masterclass.

I answered her questions in a voice memo and I’m sharing that exact voice memo (unedited and all) in this podcast episode.

I’m doing this because there are some golden nuggets that I think anyone building a house can take away from these answers … whether you choose to join BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ or not.

I’ll play that voice memo for you now and then I’ll come back onto the podcast and tell you WHY I think this is super helpful for anyone who is planning to build a house.

Golden Nuggets from Voice Memo

The three golden nuggets (i.e. 3 quick home build tips):

1. It’s important to have a CRYSTAL CLEAR vision of your future house BEFORE you start designing your house (so that you can explain your vision in crystal clear detail to your architect and/or builder … so that you end up with a house you LOVE)

2. It’s important to take an ACTIVE ROLE in checking for any ‘mishaps’ in your floor plan … no matter how great your architect and/or builder is (everyone is human, and we all miss little details, so it’s better to have many eyes as possible checking over your plan before solidifying it … and that includes your eyes)

3. Your future house is WAY more important to you than it is to your builder or architect … yes, they want you to be happy with your house, and they have a reputation to uphold, BUT no one will be as passionate about your house as YOU are … so, again, take an active role in all aspects of your home build

NEXT STEPS

I have full belief in YOU to take an active role in your home build.

And part of taking an active role in your home build is learning from others who have reached your same goal of building a house you absolutely LOVE and is perfect for YOUR family … without going over budget.

I’ve been there and done that … I built my house ON BUDGET, and I still LOVE it ten+ years later.

I designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out. A home that is cozy, comfy, laid out perfectly for the way my family lives, and makes us happy every single day. Oh, and did I mention I did this all without blowing the budget?! 

Yep, it’s true. I’ve been there, done that, and actually lived through it … and you will too. Pinkie promise!
