Podcast Episode Transcript:
Welcome back to the ‘Before You Build’ podcast. I’m your host, Carrie Barker (aka, Caroline on Design), and today, in episode 74, we’re talking about how confidence comes from clarity when building a house.
CLARITY BEFORE CONFIDENCE WHEN BUILDING
Clarity is such a critical piece in helping you to feel confident as you make design decisions for your future home.
Designing your dream home is one of the most exciting and rewarding projects you’ll ever take on.
It’s about SO much more than just picking out finishes and designing your perfect layout.
Of course, you need to do these things, but at its root, building a custom home is about creating a space that reflects your family’s lifestyle and how you’ll live in the house (both now and in the future).
And before you dive into the world of blueprints and design your floor plan or start choosing finishes, one crucial factor will determine the success of your entire home build.
That one factor is a CRYSTAL CLEAR VISION of your future home.
WHY YOU NEED A CLEAR VISION OF YOUR HOME
Clarifying your vision is the most important step in designing your dream home and ultimately leads to how smooth and successful your build is.
This is exactly why ‘Clarifying Your Vision’ is the very first step in my BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ Blueprint that I teach all of my clients.
Without a clear vision of your future home goals (BEFORE you start building), it’s really difficult to communicate your goals to your builder.
And without clear communication of your goals, your builder will have a very difficult time bringing your vision to life, as well as developing an accurate and realistic quote for your home.
When you clarify your vision for your future home in crystal clear detail, you’ll be better able to:
- understand and define your goals for your future home
- Ensure you and your spouse are on the ‘same page’
- bring your dream home to life by effectively communicating your vision and goals to your builder
- develop a REALISTIC budget that you can actually stick to
- AND, most importantly, you’ll feel CONFIDENT as you make each and every single decision for your home (this includes design and budget decisions)
Clarifying your vision in crystal clear detail is the SECRET to feeling CONFIDENT designing a house you absolutely love.
Your vision will serve as your beacon and guide for every design decision you make throughout your build.
THE BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ BLUEPRINT
You don’t need design experience or expertise to clarify your vision for your dream home.
I walk you step-by-step through how to do this inside the BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ Blueprint.
The workbook prompts inside this course help you to think deeply about your future home and how to create an environment that works perfectly for the way YOUR family lives (now and into the future).
Through these guided prompts, I help you get crystal clear on your vision for your future home so that you feel confident and trust your gut as you make design decisions.
When you can look inside yourself, and can connect with yourself on a deeper level, and connect to your vision of your dream home, you’ll feel SO much more confident listening to and trusting your gut.
Gaining CLARITY of your future home will help you avoid second-guessing every single design decision you make for your house.
Believe me … it’s very normal to second-guess yourself when making these big, scary decisions.
It happens to all of us.
This is exactly why I created the BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ program.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUILD ALONE!
I don’t want YOU to feel alone like I did when I was confused and not feeling confident in my decisions while building.
I want to be there to help you see your brain.
I can listen to what you’re saying, and it’s clear to me what your gut is telling you.
Deep down, you know the right decisions, but sometimes it takes a third party to just say it out loud so you can trust your gut.
This is why I offer weekly group coaching calls and a private Facebook community, where you can get direct access to me as well as other women going through the home build process.
I definitely fall into the category of having a difficult time making decisions, and I find that when I can clearly envision what I want, what it will look like, how it’ll feel … confidence follows and decision-making becomes much easier.
I want this for YOU, too.

The only way to feel CONFIDENT when making hard decisions, from hiring your builder to creating a realistic budget (and knowing where to splurge + save) and designing your dream home, is to CLARIFY YOUR VISION in crystal clear detail.
We’re talking detail SO clear that you can feel yourself walking through your house, and you can clearly envision what you see as you look around.
Oh, and the best part is that you can effectively communicate your vision VERY clearly to your builder and other members of your home build team.

WILL BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ WORK FOR ME?
You might be thinking … but what if the BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ Blueprint doesn’t work for me?
Maybe you’re thinking …
I’m not a designer, or I have no clue where to start, or I’ve never built before, or I suck at decorating, or I don’t have the time … I’m busy with work and/or my kids, or whatever [fill in the blank] you’re thinking will be an obstacle to getting results with BYB.
I’ve got news for you.
The BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ Blueprint WILL WORK for you!
I promise!

However, I can guarantee that you WILL be closer to budget than you would have been without following these steps, AND you will be HAPPIER with your house than you would have been following those steps.
