There IS a RECIPE. It's important to start your project right and start building momentum. In relation to the 3 C's of the Building Project Women Philosophy we each have a different starting point.

This is a story with some pointers to explore. Your relationship is unique and so is mine.

Keeping love and respect present and having your renovation path clear of emotion.

Whether you're renovating or building new, you need to speak the same language as your builder, designer, or project manager. This guide gives you the standard measurements — furniture sizes, fixture dimensions, and clearances — that Australian builders work with every day. Working to standard sizes keeps costs down. Going nonstandard — custom dimensions, bespoke fixtures — costs more. So know your standards first, then decide what's worth customising for your space. Keep this guide handy.

Some architects and building designers talk about the Red List. At building project women, we are about demystifying the terms, materials and hidden nasties in our homes. As we build, renovate and live in our own santuaries, there is some merit to knowing what is toxic and what is not. Rather than call out the baddies here, lets make some clever material swaps to improve health outcomes for the home we are creating.
