Do you ever wonder if it’s OK to ask your architect certain questions?
Are they just silly? Are you over stepping your mark?
Perhaps they have already explained something to you but you don’t understand the lingo or want further clarification.
In this week’s podcast, James and Juliette discuss the questions it is OK to ask your architect.
Spoiler: the answer is anything!
From the basics of “can you explain the project to me?” to “who else is on your team and who are you working with?”
Juliette explains that actually, asking these questions can be useful for both you, and the architect. This open communication allows for trusting relationships to be built and ensures you are all on the same page.
Whether you are the client who wants to be involved in every decision or the client who wants decisions taken off their hands, this podcast explains how your architect is likely to feel about your level of involvement.
In episode 104, James speaks to interior designer Sarah on the topic of kitchen vs interior design.
Can an interior designer offer you more for your money?
Is the free design package offered by your local kitchen store REALLY free?
Are the people fitting your kitchen actually even employed by the store?
With many seeing the kitchen as the heart of the home, it is so important to make sure you get the kitchen you really want that works in a way that suits your life.
So why limit yourself solely to the items in store? By going to a store, you could be missing out products and options and are a perfect match for you.
No matter what your budget, Sarah gives us her top tips on how to make sure you get the best deal for your perfect kitchen, whether that is from within a store or from an interior designer.
On this week’s podcast Juliette talks us through what she believes is one of the most important parts of every home renovation, windows.
Windows are often costlier than people realise and so it’s important that you go shopping knowing exactly what you are looking for. Juliette talks us through the different types of window and the advantages and disadvantages involved with each. Juliette also explains the price tag attached to each type of window and gives her professional (and personal) opinion on her favourite windows.
No idea whether vinyl, fiberglass, wood windows clad with fibreglass, aluminium windows clad with wood or steel and bronze windows are for you?
Curious as to what U Factor, Low E Glass and SHGC is referring to?
Undecided on casement window, double hung, single hung, awning windows, hopper windows or a sliding window?
Clueless when it comes to true divided light, full divided light, simulated divided light or interior grill?
If you want to make sure you understand the window related lingo before you head out window shopping, this week’s podcast is definitely one for you!
In this week’s quick pod episode James uses his experience renovating over 250 homes in the UK to
give us his top tips on reading quotations correctly.
James explains why sometimes, opting for the cheapest quotation is not always the best option, and
may actually end up costing you more money further down the line. By focusing on the numbers,
rather than the meat of the quotation, we can make some crucial mistakes.
Recognising how life changing it can be to have a house renovation, James talks us through his tips
for ensuring that you encounter no hidden surprises along the way that will negatively affect this
experience that you will remember for a lifetime.
It turns out having your contractor round for a cup of tea could make all the difference!

In this weeks podcast James speaks to Charlie Allwood from Urbanist Architecture. Urbanist Architecture is best known as London's most successful planning permission residential architects for extensions, renovations and new builds.
Despite being rejected for the role originally, Charlie wasn’t deterred and six months ago when the job came up again, he made sure it was his. With a background in plumbing and urban design, Charlie feels he has now found the career niche he was looking for and we couldn’t wait to get his insight into the world of architecture, along with some insider hints and tips.
Charlie talks us through what makes Urbanist such a multidisciplinary organisation which allows them to see through the process from beginning to end. He emphasises how much he has learnt in just the six months he has been on the team and the most interesting project he has been involved in.
Charlie talks us through permitted development and planning permission and the processes involved. Charlie also explains the costs involved and how much time he feels that homeowners should allow themselves to obtain their permission.

A successful renovation starts with good communication and a clear set of instructions but most importantly a written explanation of what is going to be done, how and what with. You don't want to leave any room for assumption and be left with a renovation below your expectations. There are so many variations and ways to implement what sounds like the result you expect but why leave it until the end? James and Juliette speak for a short episode on Method statements stating the reasons for having them and what could happen if you don't. Listen to this especially if you are receiving quotes for your renovation.

I don’t know about you but I have two young kids a boy and a girl and my partner and I are always talking about changing their room around and given it a new look.
But how do you know what’s the right balance, the right colour, whilst trying to make it look cute and not over loaded.
Well a few weeks ago I came across and event on event Brite, which is a really cool app if you want to find different workshops and course on DIY and improvement but anything for that matter.
Anyway this evening workshop was about interior design for nursery’s and children’s rooms.
Then I started looking into the woman behind it and had a lovely conversation with her.
Toks who you will hear from in a minute truly loves working with children’s rooms and interiors and also has a shop in Chelsea on the kings Road that sells some beautiful pieces for your children’s room.
You may have seen the amazing castle bed we have on our Instagram.
So enough of me, enjoy my conversation with Toks aruoture. Check out our website for more great stuff! www.propertyrenovationpodcast.com

Have you ever tried to arrange the sourcing, ordering and arranging delivery of all the items necessary for your home improvement project?
There are some people that would agree with me when I say it can be a total nightmare if you are not experienced in the industry and you don't know what to order. With different models of items, different batch codes, and different names compared to the name online, you could end up in a whole heap of stress.
James speaks to procurement specialist Amy Stevens of untitled-edit, whoa really knows how it should be done. Before you start your project, have listen.
