Description

Hello! This is Episode 322, and in it, I continue my conversation with Cindy about building her new home on the NSW coast.
Cindy is a HOME Method member, as well as a qualified Thermal Performance Assessor helping homeowners in her business, Consciously.

If you haven’t listened to part 1 of my conversation with Cindy, I’d encourage you to head back to Episode 321 now so you can listen to that first. You’ll find that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/321.
In this episode, you’ll hear more about CIndy’s project. She talks about how she established her criteria for material selection and what that’s meant in doing a project in a regional area. 
She also talks through her window selection, as well as the modelling of her home both from a visualisation point of view, and in testing energy performance. 
And she shares with us how construction has been progressing, and how she’s navigated her relationship with her builder on site.
