What niche are we serving? Building Project Women serves women (and their partners) who are navigating residential renovation, new builds, or construction projects in Australia — and who are overwhelmed, underprepared, or have stalled mid-project. Our clients are capable, educated women aged between late 30s to mid 50s. Potentially a first-time renovator or someone who has tried before and been burned. Our clients live in metropolitan or regional Australia, are likely homeowners, who are making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life. Our clients are intelligent but not necessarily construction-trained. They communicate well however there is a knowledge gap — and that gap is costing money, confidence, and sleep.

Find your people and prosper. You're decisions are amplified by community and confidence. It's a principal we're developing with this community and you are part of it.

It's a good time at contract signing to arrange your own responsibilities in the project engagement. Your builders and consultants will deliver to contract and they also want to know what you can deliver to support their work. This goes beyond payment stages and milestones. It relates to how site visits are conducted, how communications are recorded, how variations are documented and how health and safety issues are resolved. There are many client / owner obligations that a builder may request. This may involve items such as dealing with neighbours, parking, choices in materials, operating hours and the like. You may think that these things are minor but it is good to set some of these expectations early as a matter of risk management in your project.

Mothers around the country (and in other Countries locally) are getting booked up for lunch, morning tea, afternoon tea and all that jazz. Children are buying slippers and plants and flowers. We are preparing for tool shops and trainings for mum to reach her full potential. She'd love nothing better than the knowing that her home and projects are on track and in good hands. Mums do lots for all of us. Lets give them some kudos for all the planning, budgetting and project management they do on a daily basis.

Hi - there's been a shift in some of my coaching lately. Yesterday I reflected on 2 calls with 2 different women looking for clarity and confidence. A reminder that if you are upside-down on your project. Reach out and Get help.:-) Today I summarised the calls for our midweek Smoko. Attached is a summary of the call. I hope you get your own gold from these conversations and apply them for yourself for those upside-down moments.
