Ep 15. Season 1 Wrap Up

Well that's a wrap! We've endured the awkward laughs, barking dogs, rough audio and patchy editing to survive our launch season of She's A Tool. It has been the best experience and we are so grateful for your kind words and positive feedback. Kos and Bron now get to recalibrate and uplevel to bring you a better listening experience... we will be jumping into the recording studio (a proper one!) to bring you a brand new season with more insightful content and better quality production. So while we are sharpening our tools, you can catch up on season one episodes and don't forget to follow our socials for other helpful bits and pieces! Lastly, if there is a topic you would like us to cover, please drop us a message or make an anonymous comment in the Q&A here on Spotify. Thank you so much for sticking with us. If you like our pod, please share the love by telling others about it and if you're feeling really generous, we'd appreciate a 5 star review too. See ya soon tools!

Ep 14. Handy Tools: Energy Assessors

Today in Handy Tools we discuss the role and importance of Energy Assessors and why this mandatory component of the building process exists to benefit the homeowner, rather than just being another check box item to fulfil. How many stars would you want to achieve...? Don't know what we're talking about? Listen and find out.

Ep 13. Build Costs Gone Wild

The building industry was one of the first major industries to see a very quick incline in costs at the start of the Covid pandemic early 2020, continuing well into the current inflated market. Yet while we've been sitting amidst this well publicised financial cycle for the last few years, it seems people are only just now really connecting the dots on how much inflation has impacted the cost of building or renovating a home. In this episode we offer transparency around current costs and considerations, not to discourage but to equip people with up-to-date information to have in their toolkit as they enter new building projects.

Ep 12. Handy Tools: Step Away From the Building Site

Hey Tools! One of the most annoying things for Builders and trades is when homeowners follow them around site like lost puppies! While it is understandable to want to watch your project evolve, learn why you could be in breach of your building contract by being under the feet of the construction team, or by stepping onsite when they are not present.

Ep 11. Handy Tools: Justification Letters

Welcome back to another Handy Tool edition of She's A Tool. Today we talk Justification Letters. "What are those?" we hear you say. Join us on your smoko or your drive to work as Kos explains where these fit into the build process and why it is important to have a well written justification letter on your building application. NOTE: at the time of recording, R codes were about to be rolled out over Western Australia. The government has since backflipped on this policy and we are still waiting to hear what will happen next. Kosoula, being the stickler for information, will provide updates as soon as they become available. Stay tuned!

Ep 10. Small Business Vulnerabilities

Starting a business can be hard. Growing your business is even harder. At a time when demand is high and resources limited, the girls offload on the challenges of running a small business in the building industry and delve into the balancing act that people perhaps don't see, and therefore can't understand. We hope this sheds some light on the reality of juggling multiple clients while trying to maintain a viable operation.
