  • Truth Behind “I Changed My Rating”

    Colin here, host of the Home Building Hub. Wanting to clarify something... the reviewer behind “I Changed My Rating” is the same person who once emailed us for help, thanked us for a 45-minute call of free guidance, and was all smiles - until her Queensland builder took longer than she expected. That’s not ideal, but it’s pretty poor form to blame a free podcast run by 2 guys who are just trying to help home buyers.

    Just to be clear: we’ve said it in almost every episode - we’re a Victorian-ba... more

  • I changed my rating

    I rated this podcast 5 stars a couple of years ago, but have since had cause to change that. For one, a recent episode about the price and length of time for building a home these days is wildly different to my experience, and really understated the reality that approval times and administrative processes take a painfully long time to complete. Much longer than the timeframes mentioned in the ep. Also, lots of advice is just for Victoria. Does HIA just handle Victoria or do they cover the whole ... more

  • I’m so glad this podcast exists!!

    I’ve been searching for an Aussie podcast that covers building a new home, but only recently found this - and after listening to a few episodes felt that it was answering my questions, amazing! I’m a very nervous potential new home build client and need as much guidance and information relevant to the Australian (preferably Brisbane!) market as I can get my hands on. This podcast has addressed and hopefully will continue to address the major fears and issues/questions that people like me have in... more
