Get It Right with Undercover Architect
Summary: If we haven’t met before, I’m Amelia Lee, the architect behind Undercover Architect: an online business to help and teach homeowners like you how to get it right when designing, building and renovating your home. Undercover Architect is all about giving you access to the industry knowledge and insights you need to avoid the mistakes and dramas that can cost you thousands, tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it’s about levelling the playing field, so that the world of renovating and building doesn’t seem so mysterious, and you can be the active driver in your project, navigating it with know-how and confidence. Undercover Architect helps and teaches homeowners through this podcast, the website, and online courses and programs, including my flagship program, HOME Method. I truly believe that when you know the questions to ask, the steps to take and the best way to create a home that works, feels great, and that you feel great in, you can enjoy the process of building and renovating, as well as the home you move into at the end of this ambitious journey. Consider Undercover Architect your secret ally: whoever you’re working with, and whatever your location, your budget or your dreams. For more, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com

In Part 2 of my conversation with Derek, we learn more about how to work with Durra Panel. We talk more about the other finishes that Durra Panel is available in so it’s super functional in lots of applications, and also how to work with it, and how it compares to other products you might be familiar with.
If you’ve not heard of Durra Panel, this and the next episode are going to be fantastic for you, as we’re deep diving into what Durra Panel is, and how to use it in your renovation or new build.
We start Part 2 of my conversation with Rob by discussing what you actually get in the drawing packages when you purchase online from Architopia.
Architopia is a business created by three co-founders who are passionate about making architecture more affordable, and giving access to ready made designs that can be purchased and built, wherever you are.
No one sets out to renovate and build their future home with this wish: “I want to create an ‘ok’ home.” Not once have I had that as a brief. Not once have I had a client come to me, when creating their long-term family home, and say “I only want an ‘ok’ home”. And yet, all over the suburbs and streets, where people are building and renovating, unknown compromises are being made as people create homes that don’t function well, and don’t feel great.
I’m going to be talking about a comment I REGULARLY receive on my social media, and a few months ago, it was even typed into the comments of a free online workshop I ran. It gets put in different ways, but the essence of it is this: You don’t need any of this information. Just find a good designer or architect. So, in this episode, I’m going to talk about this claim that some make, why I don’t think it’s that easy, why I find this attitude can be challenging for projects, and why some colleagues of mine have this so wrong.
“Is the “Get it Right with Undercover Architect” podcast all I need for my project?” This particularly comes up for homeowners who are considering joining my flagship online program, HOME Method, and they’ll often get in touch to ask me: “How is the program different to the podcast? And if I listen to all of the podcast episodes, will I get what you teach in the program?”
I’m going to share some home design ideas and choices I regularly see, that are actually pet hates of mine. Just because they really don’t work. I get pretty passionate about home designs that don’t work, hence calling these things ‘pet hates’!
I’m going to be talking about what’s been happening over the past couple of months, especially since discussing enoughness on the podcast.
