In this down-to-earth episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, Frank and Amelia dive into whether it's cheaper to buy or build a home? They discuss the real-life challenges and rewards of tackling home renovations versus building from scratch.
Frank and Amelia reflect on their own renovation journeys—like ceiling chunks falling mid-project and learning the hard way that not all DIY jobs are created equal. The message? Know your limits, plan carefully, and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. From deciding whether to renovate the kitchen or bathroom first, to budgeting for outdoor upgrades like decks or pergolas, this episode covers the importance of sequencing your work and finishing one space at a time.
Frank and Amelia talk about the value of good planning, how to get the best results without blowing your budget, and where a professional should step in. There's also a shout-out to the power of YouTube, patience, and good equipment—especially when painting!
If you’re not sure whether you will get more value from building or buying established, this episode will give you the confidence to get started and a realistic view of what’s ahead.
