Jane comes to you today with a solo episode on why we obsess over ‘resale value’, what does ’timeless’ really mean and how calling upon the past in architecture, design and memories gives us all the clues we’ll ever need to create relevance and authenticity in our present.

Today we’re taking you inside client Presentation Day where you’ll discover what goes into it and how you can get the most out of this exciting stage of the design process.

We also discuss the dangers of using online imagery to select colours and materials, as well as drawing too heavily on inspo images to create your design.

03 Jun 2024 | 21: How Long is it Going to Take? | 00:25:43 | |
In this episode Jane speaks candidly about the No. 1 mistake she sees homeowners make when tackling their design project: rushing in. Rushing in to site works and construction without spending enough time, energy and resources in the pre-construction phase. Planning your design. Tweaking the design. Settling in and really getting comfortable with it. Jane opens your eyes to what really happens on site when you launch in too quickly. And how to put yourself back in the drivers seat of your design. Connect with us: Website https://janeledger.com.au Instagram https://www.instagram.com/janeledgerinteriors Thank you for listening!

17 Jun 2024 | 22: Construction Cost vs. Total Project Cost | 00:14:47 | |
Often I see homeowners working out a budget for their new build or reno project - with only one figure in mind. The Construction Cost. But what you pay your builder is only part of the equation. You also need to factor in all the costs of getting your project off the ground, planned, approved and ready for construction. Council fees, consultant fees surveyors, engineers, just to name a few. And then there’s the professional fees of your architect or building designer, interior designer and landscape designer. These are additional to your builder’s cost. This is the Total Project Cost. In this episode I’m breaking down the difference between Construction Cost and Total Project Cost so you really know what to budget for and why.
