The Home Project Podcast helps homeowners navigate the complex world of architecture and construction with clarity and confidence.
Hosted by architect Tina Patel and quantity surveyor Bart Kolosowski, the show breaks down how residential projects really work — from early ideas and budgeting, through design, planning, procurement, construction, and handover.
Each episode explains the risks, terminology, and decisions that shape outcomes, translating industry knowledge into plain English. The goal is simple: to help you avoid costly mistakes, make informed decisions, and run a calmer, more predictable home project.
Whether you’re planning an extension, renovation, or full refurbishment, this podcast gives you the insight professionals use every day — without the jargon, confusion, or horror stories.
