Podcasts about granny flat

Hello! This is Episode 368, and it’s Part 2 of my conversation with HOME Method members, Jan and Landon, who are currently building a passive house home for themselves in Sydney’s north. In this episode, we’re diving into a few key updates, starting with their Granny Flat and how its design and construction are coming together. We also discuss interior design selections, and some challenging stormwater issues they’re needing to resolve. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/368] If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of my conversation with Jan and Landon in the last episode, head back to Episode 367 to hear more. You can find that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/367 Jan and Landon first appeared on the podcast in Episodes 338 and 339 to introduce us to their project, so those episodes are there for you to hear more about their journey and where it all began. In this episode, we also chat through a few specific things they’re navigating right now, and I share some suggestions on what their next best steps might be. You’ll hear us talk about how they’re working with their hydrologist and builder to figure out a stormwater solution for a pretty tricky site. We discuss the process of choosing an Interior Designer and building confidence around making selections, especially for kitchen and bathroom finishes. Jan’s been feeling a bit unsure here, so we spent some time talking it through and helping her move forward with more ease. And we also talk about their Granny Flat in terms of airtightness, blower door testing, and what might be possible even though the intention is not to get it certified at Passive House standards. We also talk about white paint, and ALL.THE.CHOICES. there … and which one is my preferred. It’s another great episode if you’re wondering what it looks like to move forward with clarity, even when there are still lots of decisions to make.

An Auckland property developer doesn't believe changes to rules on building granny flats will add the 13,000 extra dwellings claimed by the Government. Easing resource and building consents requirements for structures 70 square metres or less - was one of the Government's first moves in office. David Witburn says the number is more like 3,000. "The reality is, it's a niche accommodation type, a granny flat. It's not everyone's dream to live in a granny flat, it can be very useful for extended whanau living."

An aspiring rapper, battling drug addiction raided a home in inner Sydney in August 2018. Armed with a blank-firing pistol and knuckledusters, 30-year-old Jett McKee broke into the home of Blake Davis, a 31-year-old actor and martial arts enthusiast, and Hannah Quinn, a 26-year-old former kindergarten teacher. McKee fled after the robbery and was chased down….with Davis later striking him with a samurai sword killing him. The ensuing NSW Supreme Court trial, in late 2020, had to consider self-defense, excessive force, and what occurred after the robbery, culminating in a manslaughter conviction for Davis and an accessory conviction for Quinn. A warning: this episode includes mention of self harm. If you or someone you know needs someone to talk to, call LifeLine on 13 11 14See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello! This is Episode 339, and I'm continuing my conversation with Jan and Landon about their new build in Sydney's north on an amazing site that's been in Landon's family for many years. In fact, it's where Landon grew up, and after 39 years of living together in another part of Sydney, Jan and Landon are selling up, and moving to this location they both love and have a strong connection with, to build a new, Passive House home. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/339] Jan and Landon are both in their 70s and are retired teachers. And their project has an amazing range of specific demands including how they'll age well and healthily, still being able to live an active life, whilst preparing for various scenarios that may occur. And also be able to accommodate family, especially adult grandchildren who also live or stay with them. If you missed Part 1 of my conversation with Jan and Landon, head back to Episode 338 to catch up and learn more about their story. You can find the episode and a full transcript at www.undercoverarchitect.com/338 We kick off this episode with me asking Jan and Landon about how HOME Method, which they joined right before choosing their architect, has helped them navigate their project so far. And as the episode continues, we dive into some questions that Jan and Landon had for me, especially about the best approach for them to include and build a granny flat on their site, and when and how to involve a landscape architect or landscape designer. Listen as I run through some of the key criteria to be aware of when selecting a building methodology for a granny flat, and what to consider to help the project run smoothly. We also discuss some design options to review, and cost comparison of prefabrication vs building on site. And, I also talk through some landscape design ideas, and the way a landscape design approach could integrate with their architectural design to maximise the benefits of the site overall and meet their brief as well.

In this episode, we discuss how much adding a granny flat to your property increases its value. This includes whether a minor dwelling is more of a cashflow / rental-return proposition ... or whether it's more of an equity play. This is so property investors can know what return they can expect when building a granny flat.

The Government is planning to liberalise granny flat rules, promising people will be able to get one built without resource consents. 

In this episode, we discuss the coalition government's new policy of allowing people to build granny flats without consent. We go through when the policy will be in place, what it means and what property investors need to know to take advantage of the new rules.

The government is moving ahead with one of it's policy agreements with New Zealand First, making it easier to put up granny flats or small structures in residential and rural areas. Lillian Hanly speaks to Lisa Owen. 

The Labour Party is supporting a government proposal to scrap consents for granny flats. Labour's housing spokesperson Kieran McAnulty spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There's a bit of mixed messaging surrounding the granny flat proposal, but it's mostly being received well.   The Government's new discussion document proposes allowing small structures up to 60 square metres to be built without resource consents.   It's part of efforts to make it easier and more affordable for families to live the way that suits them.   Combined Building Supplies Chairperson Carl Taylor told Mike Hosking that it's unclear if an engineer's report is still required.   But, he says, assuming the granny flats still need to meet the building code, there shouldn't be too much to be concerned about.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few years ago I was in the office on a Thursday afternoon when I got a call from my property manager in NSW. She called me to let me know that she was at my property on the Central Coast of NSW and my granny flat was burning down. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest, my property manager said she would call me back. I ran to my computer and double-checked I had active insurance in place, thankfully I did. In this video, I share the 6-month saga and the crazy events that unfolded after this call. DISCLAIMER No Legal, Financial, and Taxation advice.

Quick now, no Googling, what's an ADU?In the next half hour you will learn a lot about ADUs - which, by the way, are accessory dwelling units and recently California law has made it much easier to site an ADU on an existing homesite.That's good because California's homeless crisis only worsens and one step in the right direction is more housing.  Other parts of the country - from Portland OR to Connecticut and Austin TX - also are embracing ADUs.By the way, you surely have heard other names for ADUs. They've been called granny flats, casitas, in-law units, and lots more.  Thy have also been part of the housing scene for many decades but what's happening now is a regularization of the concept.Enter Anthony Dedousis, founder and CEO of Revival Homes in Los Angeles, which he created to help more homeowners more easily fund and build ADUs on their property.  Revival Homes does this in two ways. It has a vetted roster of contractors and it also wants to help homeowners get financing for their ADU project.  Central to the approach to financing is that value will be based on value with the ADU in place.Where do credit unions come in? Dedousis sees credit unions as ideal partners in putting financing packages together.  ADUs, in many ways, are being promoted as a way to alleviate various social issues and that kind of concern has long been central to the credit union mindset.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Summary: On the 4th episode of season 9, Louisa is joined by Timothy Cocaro, CEO and Founder of canibuild and Simon Curtis, Chief Operating Officer at G.J. Gardner Homes. They discuss the story behind canibuild and how its product is revolutionising compliance, design and sales in the construction world. Simon shares how G.J. Gardner Homes is using canibuild's product. They chat about what major trends can be seen in the ConTech industry and what is upcoming for canibuild. The key insight in this episode is that in ConTech, the one thing you don't want to do is to lose the human touch by detaching from your customer. Instead, you need to bring the customer along on the journey.  Resources: LMRE Global Recruitment and Search Consultancy LMRE YouTube Interviews Companies Mentioned: Procore OpenSpace Bridgit Trimble HazardCo Open Data Australia Digital Twinning Shout Outs: Shuvajeet Nag, Co-Founder of canibuild Deepankur Malhotra, Co-Founder of canibuild Stella Cocaro, Co-Founder of canibuild Key Insights From This Episode:  With ConTech, the one thing you don't want to do is detach from your customer. - Simon Clients are reaching a point where they're seeing construction similar to buying something on Amazon. They want answers quickly and they want transparency. - Timothy Customers have a huge thirst for knowledge. - Simon Keywords: Construction, ConTech, technology, built environment About Our Guests: Timothy Cocaro, CEO/Founder of canibuild Timothy Cocaro possesses the unlikely mix of being both a builder by trade and a holder of a computer science degree.  Timothy's tenure as Founder and CEO of Australia's leading Granny Flat company, provided the necessary insight to see and, more importantly, understand the pain points of the construction industry.   This led Timothy to put his degree in computer science to use by creating a modern solution, that genuinely aligns with the needs of the construction industry.  In 2019, Timothy hung up his hard hat when he became Founder and CEO of canibuild, a world-first, hypergrowth Prop Tech that is transforming the construction landscape.   canibuild was developed to be the solution to the many root problems in the construction industry with its AI engine allowing home, pool, granny flat & other builders to instantly check site feasibility, site costs, generate site plans & produce quotes with just a click.  canibuild has gained unprecedented traction across the construction industry since its inception, with thousands of searches on the platform every day. canibuild has re-energised the industry by providing its subscribers the ability to be hyper-efficient at a time when the market is booming.  canibuild  canibuild allows builders to replace the need for physical site visits, drafting, surveying, estimating and instead optimising this complex series of high friction steps into an instant point of transaction. canibuild clients can now go from seeing a project site virtually with a client to contract instantly. This not only allows builders to be more efficient but also covers a much wider area geographically which is a game-changer in an industry that is so fragmented. Simon Curtis, Chief Operating Officer at G.J. Gardner Homes Simon Curtis is the Chief Operating Officer of G.J. Gardner Homes NSW/ACT and WA and is responsible for the brand's operation in these states. Leading a Head Office team, Simon's primary responsibilities are: To advise and support franchise partners within all areas of their business  To work with the State Marketing Manager on State and Local Area marketing activities To drive franchise growth of GJ Gardner Homes in NSW/ACT and WA  To provide training to the group in all areas of their business  To ensure the group continues to have the support, tools and resources necessary for growth With more than 20 years of experience at some of Australia's largest property companies under his belt, Simon has proven that he is a strong leader and clear communicator who possesses the ability to motivate, mentor and inspire others. Simon holds a Bachelor of Business from the University of Queensland and a Master of Project Management from the University of Southern Queensland. G.J Gardner Homes   G.J. Gardner Homes is a custom home building company. They have built over 36,000 quality, customised homes over the past 37 years and continue to grow on the back of a single premise - ensuring every customer would refer them to their closest friend.

Each of their qualified builders and preferred subcontractors have been selected for their individual standards of expertise and their commitment to excellence.

Gardner Homes quickly grew to 8 regional offices, building as many as 1,000 custom homes a year. G.J. Gardner Homes quickly established a reputation for building great value, quality homes. Due to popular demand, Greg decided to franchise the business and almost immediately became one of Queensland's largest privately owned building companies. Fast forward to today, G.J. Gardner Homes has become a household name throughout Australia, New Zealand and the USA. With over 120 franchisees operating throughout the world, supported by multiple global offices, G.J.

Timestamps: [02:45] Timothy: Can you talk us through your journey to founding canibuild? I have a background in computer science and in the .com crash, I moved over to construction where I spent a few years developing a construction company that focused in the granny flat industry.  During my boots on the ground experience, I tried to see how technology can better improve construction and one aspect is how construction is sold.  We have been developing our application for 6 years and we went to market 2 years ago.   [05:45] Timothy: Can you elaborate a bit more about your product? Client facing sales application tool for construction companies that condenses all the steps involved in construction into a single transaction.  It does all the compliance and visually shows how that build looks on that block of land, it also takes into account factors such as contours so all parties can visually see what's happening. [08:25] Simon: Can you talk us through your role when it comes down to innovation technology and how you came across Tim's business, canibuild?  We're a residential builder, building mainly for mum and dads, but more importantly, we're a franchised business. canibuild technology came to us from one of our salespeople - a client walked into the office and had a print out of an outcome of what this tech does and in a short space of time, we adopted the technology. [11:15] Timothy: How much time does this save?  You have to imagine that a sales consultant needs to answer quite a few questions that might presumably look easy.  The back and forth process might take weeks but canibuild collapses all of those down to potentially the same day. [13:45] Simon: This product must allow you to retain buyers and not let them go to competitors, can you elaborate?  The one thing you don't want to do is detach from your customer but rather demonstrate knowledge.  This allows us to show the customer in real time and keep the conversation going without detaching. [16:15] Simon: How have you gone about upskilling your 80-90 consultants?  We brought this technology in early in 2020, nicely coinciding with the lockdowns so we trained all of our team remotely and in one session. Our house designs are preloaded onto the software. We had a sales conference at some point, which Tim presented.   [17:35] Simon: Have you seen an increase in sales or customers?  The market over the last 18 months has been incredibly buoyant so it is difficult to judge.  We can have a look at how the performance is and we can have a look at the uptake. We can also see if it is utilising the software or not. The feedback from the new hands consultants has been overwhelmingly positive.  [18:50] Simon: When did you start looking at your innovation strategy? Was it pre- or post-COVID? The brand has always operated off its own software and in 2019 there was a redesign of the software to move to a cloud based system and that encompasses all aspects that we need to run these businesses. We use 2 external pieces of technology, canibuild and HazardCo.  [20:25] Timothy: What is next for the growth and development of your product? Continue expanding on the features of the system to be able to better help our clients. We are releasing a 3D component as well as doing  site costs automatically. There are marketplace opportunities like bushfire reports and engineer reports and even architectural reports, particularly in the pool industry.  We are expanding our footprint in the United States. [22:00] Both: Are there any major trends which you can pick out across construction and what are you forecasting for the next couple of years? Timothy: Builders have started to adopt technology in ways that they haven't, prior to COVID. Simon: Customers have a thirst for knowledge, so when they are walking through a display home for the first time, they know a lot about us.  Simon: We need to bring customers along for the journey, especially in construction.  [27:00] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about;  L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Timothy: Start early, get your hands dirty and build a business that doesn't scale, you can worry about the scaling later. Simon: Self-belief and never stop learning.  M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Timothy: All our current clients.  Simon: Tim and his team.  R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech? Timothy: Nothing more rewarding than seeing a mum, dad and their family move into their home. E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech? Timothy: Stay positive and keep pushing forward. Simon: All the things I don't know about tech.  Sponsors Launch Your Own Podcast Kopus.com is the leading podcast production and strategic content company for brands, organisations, institutions, individuals, and entrepreneurs.
