Description

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Monika Zasada, founder of DE-MAZING, where she positions herself as a Project Curator and Construction Therapist. She acts as the conductor of the entire renovation process, assembling the right architects, designers, and trades while keeping everyone aligned from concept to completion.


Monika’s story is incredible. She arrived in the United States from communist Poland with just ten dollars to her name and worked her way up to leading multi-million dollar renovations in the Hamptons. She has proven herself in a male-dominated industry and built a reputation for helping homeowners avoid renovation regrets, manage timelines and budgets realistically, and navigate projects with confidence.


We talked about:

  • The most common mistakes people make when building a home or remodel

  • Why homeowners underestimate costs and timelines

  • What it really means to be a Project Curator and Construction Therapist

  • The hidden value of managing not just design, but also personalities and decisions on a job

  • How owner representatives and builders can work together effectively

  • The lessons she has learned while building DE-MAZING and what drives her success


If you are a homeowner planning a renovation, or home build this episode is one you will not want to miss.
