E95. What is the hardest part of designing and building a house?

Building Design, Prime Time

In this episode of Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, Frank and Amelia unpack one of the most asked—and most misunderstood—questions in the building journey: What’s the hardest part of designing or building a home?

Drawing from experience, they break down the emotional and practical challenges that clients often face—from the overwhelming choices during the design stage to the uncertainty and waiting involved in council approvals. Frank shares why the beginning of the process often feels the most confusing, while Amelia highlights the emotional toll of juggling budgets, ideas, and long timelines.

Together, they discuss how Prime Design helps clients move through these tricky moments by providing a clear process, regular communication, and expert guidance. They also touch on how staying on top of deadlines, especially with council approvals, can make or break a project.

Whether you’re designing your dream home or planning a major extension, this episode gives a real-world look at the hurdles ahead—and how to overcome them with the right team by your side.

🎧 Tune in now to feel prepared, empowered, and ready to take on your own project.
