It’s Raining, You’re Panicking, and Your Roof Isn’t On
Description
We’re told to expect delays in building, but no one tells you what that actually feels like.
In this episode, Jaimi and Maddie get radically honest about the reality of building during Perth’s winter months.
From rained-out slabs to sick tradies, feature brick delays to delayed titles, we pull back the curtain on what’s really going on behind those “sorry, your build’s delayed” emails.
This isn’t just about weather.
It’s about pressure.
It’s about the emotional toll of construction.
It’s about what you can control and how to cope when everything feels out of your hands.
We talk through:
- What’s a “normal” delay and what’s a red flag
- What builders plan for (and what they don’t)
- How weather impacts everything from slab pour to your street being titled
- Why pushing too hard can sometimes make things worse
- The right way to ask your builder for an update
- And why your emotions in this process are 100% valid
“If you’re freaking out, that doesn’t mean your build’s a disaster, it just means you care. And you’re human.”
Whether you're in the middle of construction, about to start, or just trying to stay sane through delays this episode is your calm voice in the chaos.
