What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Working with a design/build company on an adobe house in the desert SW of the US. Despite regional differences this has been by far the most useful resource throughout the entire process. Project is going smoothly and I credit to this podcast for helping me make decisions and communicate with our team. Thanks Amelia!

This podcast has been so helpful for my new build project. She relates to all levels of understanding without using jargon and being super practical. At the same time honoring the emotional part of this long and challenging process of building. She breaks things down into lists and bullet points, so you can be sure your on the right page. Love, love, love this podcast. If your building it’s a must and even if you just like remodel work it’s super fun! Cheers.

I started from the first episode and am working my way through season 2. And I’m confident that what Amelia covers in these two seasons alone will help prevent 90% of the poor design choices we’d make when building. She shares so many helpful design tips and gotchas to be aware of and does it in an incredibly organized way. Even though we’re working with an architect we’re super excited about, it’s awesome to get a little extra advice. And certainly far cheaper than what our architect charges per hour. Thanks for putting this together, Amelia.

I can’t believe how incredibly helpful this podcast is! A must-listen for all planning a home renovation or new build. I am renovating a 1925 classic in Southern USA. This podcast is the secret to getting it right!

Geolowe · Jan 2022

Undercover Architect is such an informative and helpful podcast! We are about to embark on a new custom built home, and I appreciate hearing her perspective and tips.
