Welcome to episode 26 of The Enthusiast Lab,

In today's episode we dive futher into siteworks. This episode will be released as part 2 of a 2 part series.

Today we dive a little deeper into the different things that can increase the price of your siteworks. The main three we discuss are Bushfire Attack Level (BAL), Coastal Attenuation and Noise Attenuation.

As a quick summary:
 BAL - Bushfire Attack Level is a method for rating the intensity of a locations potential exposure to bushfire. This is dictated by a few factors main thing is bushland, secondary is the trajectory of wind.

Coastal Attenuation - is a method for rating the intensity of a locations potential exposure to high concentrations of airborne sea salt which can cause corrosion.
 
 Noise Attenuation - is a method for rating the intensity of a locations potential exposure to constant noise pollution.

Welcome to episode 25 of The Enthusiast Lab,

In today's episode we dive into siteworks. This episode will be released as part 1 of a 2 part series.
“What does siteworks even mean” is a question we receive on a regular basis, so we thought we would break it down. We discuss what is included and how it is calculated.

Firstly, siteworks are the work required to prepare the land on which your home is being built. Without it your house would not be stable and secure. Therefore, no matter which builder people choose to build with, siteworks will always be on the agenda. There is also no “one size fits all” when it comes to siteworks because each piece of land is different.
We then discuss the difference between provisional vs fixed, soil classification and then all the things that are part of siteworks.

That's it for today's episode!

Welcome to our fifth Special Guest Episode of The Enthusiast Lab!

In Special Guest episodes we interview someone who is either building or have built a home and discuss their build journey. From first impressions to overall experience, we deep dive into what it feels like to build a home straight from the client’s point of view. 

In today’s episode our special guests are Tom & Celine. They are Mr Enthusiast clients who started their journey in November of 2021 and received their keys in March of 2023. Whilst it might seem like a really long time, their house was built in 11 months – the remainder of the time was spent in the administration process.

This is a great episode that looks back on their entire build journey – from administration to handover.
