Building can be tricky - so we decided to start the Let’s Talk Building podcast to help you understand the ins and outs of the building process so you have all the information and best tips before you start. In addition to sharing case studies, we’ll also have a variety of expert guests and advice from people that have built homes and developments that have been through the building process. Join host Rebecca Rossi, General Manager of Ultimo Construction and a guest for each episode and let us walk you through the building process.
