Description

Want to make your construction process simpler – and you more sane and confident? 
Manage Your Build is my online program that will give you key knowledge, tools, cheatsheets and industry insider checklists and tips, plus strategies to save your sanity and budget as well.  
This online program can support you, help you avoid expensive mistakes and drama, and put you in the driver's seat, feeling confident during the construction of your new home or renovation. 
Head to https://undercoverarchitect.com/manageyourbuild/ to see more about what's inside the program, and how it can save you stress and money as you navigate the construction of your reno or new home. 
SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: 
In this episode, we talk about the next stage of construction, which is the Frame Stage.  
This is where the skeleton of your home gets built ... the frames of the walls, any upper floors, and your roof frame. And there are a load of decisions you need to make before all of this work gets wrapped up inside your walls, so the finished home works well. 
Knowing what you need to get done in this stage, plus how to check this stage before your project moves on, will significantly save drama down the track.  
If you don’t check this stage thoroughly, or be ready with all your selections of fixtures and finishes, you can lose the opportunity to change your mind later.  
Any items that need to be hung on your walls (from toilet roll holders to televisions) need to be thought about before the Frame Stage is complete.  
Duayne and I talk about some great steps you can take to be sure, and what to expect from your builder in their communication and planning.
