If you're thinking about approaching a builder or embarking on a new build process, you won’t want to miss this episode! Fab Marion takes us through how to:


  • Choose the right block in the first place. Some blocks will have greater opportunities and fewer expenses than others
  • Understand the site-related expenses you’ll be up for when comparing different blocks
  • Understand the zoning and planning requirements applicable to a block
  • Develop a solid and well-informed budget for your home design
  • Find a match, among the different builder models and types available, that is best suited to achieve your design within your budget

Fab also takes us through his ‘Creative Spreadsheet’ where he builds a clear and concise picture for his clients of what their dream home is going to cost them. And that’s all before even approaching a builder! 

You’re going to love Fab’s easy going, approachable style combined with his formidable knowledge of what it takes to plan, design and construct a home.
