"The architect designed something we can't actually build."

It wouldn’t be outlandish to believe that most builders have said this at least once, usually while staring at plans that look beautiful but ignore practical realities. We sat down with Amelia Lee from Undercover Architect to understand why architects and builders struggle to collaborate effectively, and more importantly, how to fix it.

The industry's future depends on collaboration and education. Architects need to communicate their vision while welcoming practical construction input. Builders must openly share real-world challenges and constraints rather than silently struggling with impractical designs.

Amelia's Home Method and other online courses have equipped thousands of homeowners with the knowledge to facilitate better architect-builder relationships. When clients understand both perspectives, they can bridge communication gaps and keep projects on track.

When architects and builders work together harmoniously, respecting each other's expertise, the results benefit everyone - especially homeowners who deserve projects completed on time, on budget, and to quality standards.
