From Idea to Finished Build: The Full Design Process for Future Tradespeople
Description
The Copper Connection Podcast – Season 2, Episode 22
From empty plot to finished home — how does it all actually happen?
In this episode of The Copper Connection Podcast, host Chris Bailey breaks down the design process from conception to completion in a clear, jargon-free way designed for plumbing students, apprentices, and construction learners. You’ll discover how proper planning, site analysis, planning permission, feasibility studies, and environmental checks all shape the buildings you’ll one day be working on.
We unpack permitted development rights, listed buildings, SSSIs, utilities planning, Gantt charts, and critical path analysis — and explain exactly where your role as a future tradesperson fits into the bigger picture. If you’re working towards UK construction or plumbing qualifications or starting a building services apprenticeship, this episode will help you connect the dots between classroom theory and real-world site practice.
