Hello! This is Episode 395, and this is Part 2 of my conversation with HOME Method member, Tanya, about the renovation of their Melbourne home that they’ve now been enjoying living in for a year, and experiencing the results of their efforts in how it functions and performs.

In the last episode, we heard how Tanya used the Brief Builder inside HOME Method to get really clear on how she and her family wanted to live, and how that helped her confidently choose her team and set her project up for success.

In this episode, we dive into what happened next.

You’ll hear how that upfront clarity and preparation flowed into their construction phase, and why Tanya describes that part of the project as calm, collaborative and genuinely enjoyable.

We talk about how their site meetings were run, the way they managed communication and record keeping during the build, and how front loading their decisions meant they weren’t second guessing things or making stressful choices on the fly.

Tanya also shares how they reduced demolition waste by rehoming materials before construction began, and what it’s been like to live in the home now, after a year, and experience the results of all that time, effort and intention.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s actually possible to enjoy your renovation or building project, I think you’re going to find this episode incredibly encouraging and inspiring.
