Extreme Makeover
February 1st, 2008 by NatashaI just love watching all the makeover shows on TV. The English really know how to renovate and produce an incredible number of makeover shows!
My favourite theme is the budget/time over-run! I particularly like Property Ladder and I’m forever ohhh-ing and hmmf-ing at amateur property developers’ estimates of how long things will take and how much they will cost. Not to mention not taking host, Sarah Beeny’s advice - this girl knows what she’s doing!
Budget and time overruns go hand in hand in the construction industry. Having first hand knowledge of the industry, as a designer, I wouldn’t even consider project managing a job myself - it’s a very stressful and demanding occupation.
My advice is - do what you are good at and get advice from the people who know. I’ve found the most successful business people are the ones who surround themselves with experts!
