STUDENT STORIES

The beautiful Rathmines South House is on the market! And the BuildHer8 are as proud as punch!

We are so exited to introduce you to the lovely Jacqui! A student in our DevelopHers Masterclass, we met Jacqui last year at our Weekend Intensive and we are so proud of her big life changes so far.

Joni and Alex have recently started their new life in Queensland, with a newborn baby and a 2 year old! As a dynamic duo, Joni is a lawyer her husband (Alex) is a builder, she was always thinking about ways they could combine their skills to create a business and more financial freedom.

Justine and husband Nick had been planning their renovation for years! They love their tree lined street, love their home and knew the house had a little something more to give and they wanted to get it right.

We love this beauty! She – yes, she is a SHE and is full of depth, classic design, love and feels lived in. Rachel started her journey like many others, in stages and planned her build for what felt like yonks! She put her time and effort into to learning about building, refining her design and moodboards. Most importantly (and we are hearing this from many women), she wanted to build a healthy home. One that is functional, smart, sustainable, and as low tox as she could make it.

Unrealistic expectations are normal, but honestly the view from the outside is so different from the feels from the inside. Not always but frequently! I thought I would try to explain the what and why of what we do and how I became a DevelopHer.

Whether to knock down and rebuild or renovate is so often a question that we ponder and struggle to find the best answer to. When we are looking at creating our home it is tricky as there are no clear answers, no definitive solution to what is right or wrong…

Welcome to another blog about one of our BuildHers, Celina. A collaborate approach to building really paid off for her. We thought is would be a good idea to dive in a little deeper about the blended BuildHer model that she adopted!

DevelopHer Yolanda’s Northcote oasis is a sight to behold. She certainly doesn’t shy away from a challenge, even when it is as far removed from her day job as possible! Both career driven individuals, Yolanda Aarons and her partner work by day in senior roles in Melbourne’s private hospitals, yet have managed to complete a number of successful renovations out of hours.

Running Melbourne-based domestic building company Kadabra Group with her business partner, Karen has recently put this Heritage redevelopment on the market in Richmond, Victoria.
