In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, Frank and Amelia dive into one of the most misunderstood aspects of land and property development — flood overlays. Whether you're looking to buy a block of land, planning a renovation, or designing your dream home, knowing whether a flood overlay affects your site is absolutely critical. You'll learn what a flood overlay is, how it can impact your design, and why it’s not always visible to the untrained eye. Frank talks about the importance of site-specific reports and working closely with structural engineers and flood specialists to create solutions that meet compliance while still achieving your design goals. From managing flood risk to accommodating natural water flow and debris during floods, Frank and Amelia discuss real-world examples of how these challenges are addressed in design. Frank and Amelia also break down how to research flood overlays using tools like the PlanBuild Tasmania and The LIST website and why speaking directly to local council planners — not just the front desk — is essential for getting accurate, up-to-date information. Plus, Frank touches on other overlays like bushfire and heritage zones, and how evolving regulations can change what’s allowed on your block — even after you’ve owned it for years. If you're unsure whether flood risk affects your property or want to know how to navigate these restrictions, this episode will leave you informed and prepared. 🎧 Tune in to learn how to build smarter and avoid costly surprises.

1 E88. What is a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating and how can it affect your home? with special guest Leanne Jordan 50:08
In this eye-opening episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, hosts Amelia and Frank are joined by special guest Leanne Jordan, a qualified Bushfire Practitioner, to unpack everything you need to know about Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) ratings and how they impact your build. Whether you're planning a new home, an extension, or converting an existing building like a church into a residence, understanding BAL ratings is essential if you're in a bushfire-prone area. Leanne walks through what a BAL rating actually is, how it's determined, and why it's more than just a checkbox for council approvals. She explains the factors that influence a rating—from slope and vegetation type to the distance between your home and the nearest fuel source—and reveals how land management can help reduce your BAL rating over time. Frank and Amelia discuss with Leanne the challenges of building in areas close to bushland, including how hazard management zones are calculated and what it takes to design a compliant home. From gravel-covered clear zones to strategic vegetation removal, this episode is packed with practical tips and expert advice to help you feel more informed, and a little less overwhelmed.

In the second part of our two-part series which follows on from the previous episode, Amelia and Frank discuss with special guest Clarence from Ionic Construction a deeper look into one of the most overlooked challenges in the construction industry—condensation. They discuss poorly designed and constructed homes that are not just inefficient; they can lead to major moisture issues, mould growth, and long-term structural damage. In this episode, they discuss why condensation is a critical issue, how outdated building standards contribute to the problem, and what designers and builders need to do to create healthier, more durable homes. They also explore how Tasmania, despite its small size, is leading the way in pushing for higher industry standards. With some of the country’s top industry leaders and a unique approach to construction, the state has become a testing ground for better building practices. By moving beyond the bare minimum requirements and embracing smarter design solutions, we can reduce condensation risks and create homes that stand the test of time. If you're in the building industry or planning a home, this episode is packed with insights on why condensation matters and what can be done to tackle it. Tune in now!

1 E86. The problems with condensation with special guest Clarence from Ionic Constructions (Part 1) 39:34
As homes become more airtight, the need for proper ventilation has never been more important. In this episode, Frank and Amelia welcomed special guest Clarence Macalister from Ionic Construction to talk about the effects of condensation in homes and explore how changes in building standards and energy efficiency measures are impacting indoor air quality, and what homeowners, designers, and builders need to know. Clarence discusses the increasing risk of mould, condensation, and poor air quality in modern homes and explains why ventilation systems will be the next major topic of conversation in the industry and how it's essential in maintaining a healthy living environment. They also break down common misconceptions, such as the belief that air conditioning systems provide fresh air, and highlight the role of CO₂ levels as an indicator of indoor air quality. From understanding the impact of VOCs and humidity to practical solutions for improving airflow, this episode sheds light on the critical balance between airtight construction and proper ventilation. Whether you're building a new home, renovating an existing one, or simply wanting to create a healthier living space, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to get ventilation right and ensure your home remains comfortable, energy-efficient, and safe for years to come.

In this episode, Frank and Amelia dive into the crucial yet often overlooked topic of home ventilation. With changes to the National Construction Code and Bushfire Code, many modern homes are now so airtight that they’re trapping moisture, leading to mould, mildew, and poor air quality. They explore the Catch-22 of bushfire protection and ventilation, discussing how sealing homes against embers has inadvertently created unhealthy indoor environments. The conversation compares older homes, which had built-in vents allowing natural airflow, to today’s tightly sealed homes, where fresh air circulation can sometimes be lacking. Frank breaks down why proper ventilation in floors, walls, and roofs is essential, particularly for timber floors, which can rot without adequate airflow. Whether you’re designing a new home or renovating an existing one, this episode will help you understand why ventilation should be a top priority. Tune into this discussion with practical solutions, including bushfire-safe vents and other ways to maintain a healthy, breathable home. 👉 Listen now to learn how to protect and prioritise your home’s structure and your family’s health!

In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast hosts Amelia and Frank introduce the importance of design briefs, explaining that a design brief serves as a blueprint for clients to clearly express their project desires to the designer. Frank describes the four main types of clients he encounters, ranging from those with a detailed plan and budget to those with vague or contradictory ideas. The discussion highlights the challenges in accommodating different clients, especially regarding cost awareness and how designers can assist each type of client to achieve their dream home or extension. Frank highlights how helping clients manage their home-building budgets by clarifying priorities and differentiating between wants and needs. Clients can list their “dream items” and their essential needs, which helps in making adjustments when budget constraints arise. The conversation emphasises the importance of designers listening carefully to client desires and ensuring those ideas are accurately reflected in the design.
