    21. Why Weather Delays Your Build (And Why It's Not the Builder's Fault)

    Weather delays are one of the most frustrating parts of building or renovating, especially when it feels like nothing is happening on site. In this episode of Builders Beyond Borders, experienced builders unpack what really happens when rain, wind, and wet ground stop a project, and why these delays are often unavoidable and necessary. Paul Kennedy from Independent Building Solutions in Canberra is joined by Matt Auld from Matt Auld Builders in Victoria for a candid, on-the-ground conversation about how weather impacts excavation, footings, framing, and scheduling, and why pushing ahead too soon can create far bigger problems later. This episode helps homeowners understand the difference between a rain day and a recovery delay, how soil conditions and drainage affect progress, and why waiting for the site to dry properly protects the long-term integrity of your home.     Listen on Spotify// https://open.spotify.com/show/0eGpiuFZidHdOcFunXPo4q Apple Podcast// https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/builders-beyond-borders/id1841312899 Youtube// https://www.youtube.com/@BuildersBeyondBordersPodcast   Follow us on Facebook// https://www.facebook.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast/ Instagram// https://www.instagram.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast_/   Looking for a builder?

Andy from Perway Construction Services,  Hugh from New Realm Homes, and Paul from Independent Building Solutions break down why quality builders don't rush to site, and why the pre-start phase is what protects your budget, timeline, and sanity.     Listen on Spotify// https://open.spotify.com/show/0eGpiuFZidHdOcFunXPo4q Apple Podcast// https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/builders-beyond-borders/id1841312899 Youtube// https://www.youtube.com/@BuildersBeyondBordersPodcast   Follow us on Facebook// https://www.facebook.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast/ Instagram// https://www.instagram.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast_/   Looking for a builder?

    19. Avoid $100k Renovation Mistakes with Bronwyn from Bronz DC

In this episode of Builders Beyond Borders Podcast, we sit down with Bronwyn from Bronz DC, a residential design specialist, to uncover the "hidden" reasons why construction costs often spiral out of control. We dive deep into the Triangle of Trust—the essential collaboration between the builder, the designer, and the homeowner—and why skipping the "lifestyle audit" is the fastest way to blow your budget. Whether you're in the "Wild West" of WA or building in the Eastern States, Bronwyn shares the industry secrets you need to know before you sign your next contract.   Connect with Bronwyn: https://bronzdc.com.au   Looking for a builder?

    18. Understanding Builder Overheads: Why the Cheapest Quote Can Cost You More

    When you receive a building quote, it's easy to focus on the bottom-line number. But what's actually behind that price? In this episode of Builders Beyond Borders, the team breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of the building industry: overheads — and why understanding them is critical to making sure your builder can actually finish your project. From insurances and staff wages to vehicles, registrations, office costs, and compliance, running a building business involves far more than just materials and labour. When these costs aren't properly accounted for, it can put builders — and clients — at serious risk. The conversation also explores why some builders underquote, how that leads to cash-flow problems, and why choosing the cheapest price can sometimes mean gambling with your build.   Listen on Spotify// https://open.spotify.com/show/0eGpiuFZidHdOcFunXPo4q Apple Podcast// https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/builders-beyond-borders/id1841312899 Youtube// https://www.youtube.com/@BuildersBeyondBordersPodcast   Follow us on Facebook// https://www.facebook.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast/ Instagram// https://www.instagram.com/buildersbeyondborderspodcast_/   Looking for a builder?

    17. Why Your Build Hasn't Started Yet: Consultant Delays & Costs Explained

    If you feel like your project is stuck before it even begins, you are not imagining it. In this episode, the Builders Beyond Borders team breaks down the consultant stage and why it can take weeks, months, or even years before construction starts. We explain who consultants are, what they actually do, and why the approvals process often takes longer than the build itself. From councils and certifiers to engineers, soil testing, wastewater, and planning overlays, the pre construction phase has more moving parts than most homeowners expect. You will also hear real examples of how delays happen, why timelines are hard to guarantee, and how consultant fees can quickly add up. If you are planning a renovation, extension, new build, or development, this episode will help you set realistic expectations and avoid costly surprises.

    Choosing the right builder is one of the biggest decisions you will make when building or renovating.

Andy and Louise from Perway Construction Services, along with Dean and Shannon from DJH Builders, share honest insights from years in the industry. They discuss client experience, communication, quality, transparency, and what really happens behind the scenes when comparing boutique family builders to high volume project builders.
