HDA 057: How to Control the Budget on Your Custom Home Project
20 Nov 2023
00:17:13
#057: Budget and Schedule are two things that homeowners do not fully understand when they are planning for a new custom home or an addition. From relying too much on what they see on TV to trusting that what their neighbor paid for their project will be what they pay, there are many mistakes people make on setting up the budget for their project.
In this episode I take you through ten tips to help you maintain control of your home construction project.
HDA 056: Why I Don't Start With Style When Designing a New Custom Home
06 Nov 2023
00:05:57
#056: When designing a custom home, many clients will first come to me saying that they want their home designed in a specific style. I think that when you start with style you are missing out on possibilities. The better way is to start with analysis and formulate how the house will function with the environment and how you and your family live. From their the style will evolve naturally. When you start with the style of your home you are limiting creativity.
HDA 055: How To Assess Your Current Home So You Can Design A Better One
23 Oct 2023
00:22:22
#055: One of the keys to designing a successful home is to understand your current home. You can look to your current home to evaluate what is working and what is not working for you. Through analyzing the quantitative, qualitative aspects of your home and understanding your daily, weekly and yearly routines criteria can be set up to guide the design. You can also look to your storage needs and your current (or new) furniture to make sure that you have the space that you need.
HDA 054: How To Compare Architects So You Choose The Best One For Your Project
09 Oct 2023
00:18:32
#054: Choosing an architect can be a difficult task for a homeowner and you most likely have never been in the situation where you needed to hire one before.
Where do you start? In this video I will give you a series of criteria in which you can begin to evaluate potential architects and find the one that is best for you, your needs and your goals.
HDA 053: Resale Value of Your Home Should You Even Care
25 Sep 2023
00:06:11
#053: If you are designing a custom home should you care about resale value?
When I am designing a custom home, or even an addition to a home, people will often ask about, or make decisions based upon the future resale value. I think this is a bad decision. Who are you really building this custom home for you, or the people who may eventually buy it? I feel that your home should be in the style that you want, that makes you happy and where you feel comfortable.
#052: Construction allowances are misunderstood by many homeowners who have never built a custom home or renovated their current house. Allowances are easy to understand, they are a placeholder value for a particular item that will be used in the construction of your home. This allows you as the client to defer the selection of the item until a later date and allows the contractor to begin construction before all of the final decisions are made. If what you choose is more expensive than the allowance value carried, you pay more. If what you choose is less expensive than the allowance value carried you pay less and a credit gets issued towards the overall construction budget.
#051: What is construction contingency funds? Often times homeowners think that they can spend up to their max budget in construction. This is a big mistake as there will always be surprises and unforseen conditions while building or renovating your home. By setting aside money as contingency funds you can have a buffer for when things don't go as planned, or if you want to increase the quality of your materials.
HDA 050: When To Get A Contractor Involved On Your Custom Home Project
17 Aug 2023
00:10:13
#50: There are a few options on how early to bring in a contractor for your custom home project. The first option being early on as part of the team and the next being after the design and construction drawings are completed where you might get multiple bids. There are pros and cons to each option which I describe in this video. The most important thing is finding what works well for you.
HDA 049: Legacy Homes, Part 2 - The Importance of Audio and Visual Systems in Custom Residential Homes
23 Jul 2023
01:05:13
#049: Audio and Visual Systems are some of the most overlooked pieces when designing a custom home. Most people will wait until construction begins, or worse, towards the end of construction to begin to think of these components and this is a big mistake.
As part of the Legacy Homes series, which you can find on the N3 Architecture YouTube channel and also on the Home Design Academy Podcast, I sit down with Mark Martin, custom home builder with Schultz Miller Construction in Seattle Washington.
For Part 2 of the series we are joined by Kevin Flandreau of Definitive Audio in Bellevue Washington.
We discuss the various options for high performance audio and visual systems in custom residential design as well as exploring some of the things you need to consider before building a custom home.
If you are thinking of building a custom home, you need to see this episode as these are things that you do not want to overlook, or wait until it is too late to integrate into your design.
HDA 048: Are You Waiting Too Long to Build Your Dream Home
21 Jun 2023
00:10:35
#048: Designing a custom home takes a long time. From selecting land to purchase to assembling your team of architects and contractors to designing the home and building it the process could take several years.
If you are dreaming of creating a vacation home where the family can come together and make the memories that you will cherish you do not want to wait too long.
How many years do you have left until the kids are off at college? How many years until your grandkids are teens and living their own lives and spending time with grandma and grandpa are not their top priority?
HDA 065: Become a Better Architect and Business Owner with EntreArchitect
28 Aug 2024
00:26:11
If you want to become a better architect and a better business owner you need to join the EntreArchitect Network. Joining the network will provide you with mentorship, resources and documents and access to a community of architects who actually care about the success of your firm.
There are many ways to take part in the EntreArchitect community and in Part One of this three video series I will give you an introduction to EntreArchitect and show you the many resources that are available for free.
Part Two will go over the best thing you can do for your firm this year and that is to attend the EntreArchitect Community Annual Meeting in Nashville, TN from October 23-25, 2024.
In Part Three we will dive deep behind the scenes of the EntreArchitect Network and take a look at all the resources and support that members receive.
This is not a paid advertisement and I receive no financial compensation from promoting EntreArchitect, I do so because the community has meant so much to me and my firm that I want other architects to share in the success.

HDA 047: What if You Don't Like Your Architect's Design
07 Jun 2023
00:17:20
#047: You've been dreaming about building a custom home for years and you finally get the opportunity to do so. You are excited, hire an architect and work through the schematic design phase. But what happens if you don't like the design? What are your options and how do you move forward.
In this episode I break down some important steps to take to make sure that this doesn't happen to you, and the easiest way to do so is through prevention. Make sure that you set yourself up for the most opportunity for a successful custom home design and construction project.
HDA 046: Custom Design or Production Home - What is Best for Your Family
24 May 2023
00:14:23
#046: When deciding to take on a major home construction project, either building a new home or renovating an existing home there are many different paths you can take. New construction and custom design is not for everyone and you need to start with your end goals and what you value in mind and choose a way forward which best aligns with these values.
In this episode I walk you through a number of methods for completing your project and discuss some of the pros and cons for each, while explaining what you can expect.
Think of your architect not just as the designer of your new -or- renovated home, but as your guide to helping you make the tough decisions you will face.

HDA 044: The 5 Best Ways to Prepare for Your Custom Home Project
16 Mar 2023
00:10:21
One of the biggest problems I see with clients who are building a home for the first time is they do not have a good understanding of how long it takes to design a custom home and how long it takes to get the pieces in place so that design work can start.

21 Mar 2022
00:23:00

I will describe why the survey is important, what should be included on the survey, approximately how much it should cost you and how early in the project you should be contacting a surveyor.

HDA 035: Warmboard Radiant Heating with Terry Alsberg
18 Oct 2021
00:54:59
#035: Today we are talking with Terry Alsberg the CEO and inventor of the warmboard radiant heating system. Terry will discuss the benefits and features of warmboard and why it is superior to all other radiant heating systems.
Forget everything you think you know about radiant heating. Warmboard is a fully engineered system that uses routed panels topped with conductive aluminum allowing the radiant heating to be a whole house heating system and not just something that warms up the floors. Warmbard is more effective and efficient than pipes embedded into a concrete slab and is a healthier way to heat your home than forced air.
The system comes complete with boilers, pumps and controls that are pre-commissioned so that when they arrive on site it is simply a plug-and-play installation for your contractors.
The warmboard panels also act as your structural subfloor and are installed and secured the same way a plywood subfloor would be.

HDA 032: Why You Shouldn't Replace Your Windows, Siding, Roofing
09 Aug 2021
00:19:13
#032: I can't count how many times I am called by a homeowner who wants to undertake a major renovation / addition project and through talking with them I learned that they have either replaced their windows, siding, or roofing in the recent years.
I cannot stress enough how bad of a decision this is. If you are even considering a major renovation / addition project and you can get by, even for a year or two with your old siding, windows or roofing and then replace them as part of the larger project you will be much better off.

HDA 063: The Importance of Landscape Architecture with Nicholas Campanelli
09 Jun 2024
00:51:19
#063: I had the pleasure if talking with Landscape Architect Nicholas Campanelli who is a partner and Associate Principal of MDLA base in Boston, MA and Glastonbury, CT.
The cost of lumber in the spring of 2020 is skyrocketing, many people are canceling, postponing or rethinking their projects. I feel this is an opportunity to re-think the way we build and implement advanced framing strategies.
Advanced framing is nothing new, it has been around for decades, but there are still some people who are skeptical. Maybe they remember some poorly built houses in the 60's or maybe they are just ingrained with the thinking that the way they have been doing things for 20 years is the best method.
Utilizing advanced framing methods can potentially eliminate up to 30% of the total lumber material for a project, this can result in some significant cost savings and as a benefit the added insulation will result in lower heating and cooling bills.
