    Episode 68 - The NEW First Home Guarantee Scheme

    Welcome to Episode 68 of the Enthusiast Lab! Big changes are coming for first home buyers in Australia — and they kick off October 1st. In this episode of The Enthusiast Lab, we’re joined by Maddison from Oui Finance — our go-to mortgage broker — to unpack the new First Home Buyers Guarantee rolling out nationwide. This new scheme could be a game-changer for buyers who are ready to build but struggling with deposit hurdles. Maddison breaks down what the guarantee actually means, who’s eligible, how it could impact your borrowing power, and what it looks like in real terms. If you’ve been on the fence about whether building is possible for you — or just want to understand how this new scheme could work in your favour — this episode is your shortcut to the facts!

    Special Guest 12 - Khyra & Andy

    Imagine building your dream home… and loving the process so much you do it again. And again. Welcome to episode 67 of The Enthusiast Lab!  In this episode we sit down with Khyra and Andy, a couple who’ve now built three homes with Mr Enthusiast — and are already wrapping up their latest one as this episode goes live. They share their full journey — from the first build to where they are now — and reveal why they wouldn’t trust anyone else with something as big as creating their dream homes. We dive into the highs, the challenges, the surprises, and the little details that made all the difference along the way. Whether you’re planning your very first build or just want to know what it’s really like working with us, this episode is packed with honest insights straight from people who’ve done it — more than once.

    Episode 65 - The Builder You’ve Never Heard Of — Until Now!

    Welcome to episode 65 of The Enthusiast Lab!  What if one of the most unique builders in WA wasn’t even advertising? In this episode of The Enthusiast Lab, we sit down with Daniel from Move Homes — a builder that doesn’t market to the public, doesn’t rely on walk-ins, and yet consistently delivers top-tier homes across Perth. We talk about what makes them so different, why we partnered up in 2025, and how their unique model is helping clients build faster, smarter, and often with better value than traditional methods. From steel vs timber vs double brick, to admin timelines, supplier relationships, and even exclusive land access — we unpack the real conversations behind building right now in WA (and why it might not stay this easy for long). Whether you’re planning a build or just want to understand how the industry is shifting, this is one you don’t want to miss.

    Episode 64 – Where Can You Actually Build in 2025?

    Welcome to episode 64 of The Enthusiast Lab! In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the biggest questions we get asked:  “Where should I be looking to build in 2025?” We talk through real suburbs where we’re currently building, what’s still available, and how your budget impacts where you can (and can’t) go. From coastal builds to custom homes in the hills, we share what’s working, what’s getting expensive, and what we’d personally do if we were starting our build journey now. We also chat through pricing differences, site works, deposit shifts, and why land delays are becoming more common across Perth. If you’re planning a build or just want to understand the land landscape a bit better — this is the episode for you.
