About Built Classical: A Designer and Builder Podcast

He builds, she designs — and together we’re married, opinionated, and downright obsessed with the details most folks overlook. Each week from our back porch, we dive into conversations about life, our design-build company, craftsmanship, and timeless design — celebrating the kind of charm that outlasts trends (and calling out the McMansions that make our eyes twitch). If you care about charm , or just love a good porch chat on why homes should be built like they used to be — pour a drink, pull up a rocker, and join us. New episodes drop every Sunday. Because pretty details still matter.

episode Why Construction Pricing Feels So Confusing artwork

Why Construction Pricing Feels So Confusing

Why does building cost what it costs? In this episode, we’re breaking down how pricing actually works in construction and design, and why it can feel so confusing (and frustrating) from the outside. We walk through the most common pricing structures builders use across the country...fixed fee, cost-plus, and management fees, what they mean, who they work best for, and why we’ve landed on the approach we use at Heirloom Homes. We also talk about how pricing can (and should) vary by region. On the design side, we unpack how designers typically charge per room, per house, per square foot, or hourly and what we’ve learned about fair compensation, sustainability, and setting expectations on both sides. We also cover: * Spec homes vs. tract homes vs. fully custom builds * Why remodel pricing is different (and often trickier) * What change orders are, why they happen, and whether they’re always necessary * Why construction costs are so high right now—and what’s actually driving that reality This episode is for homeowners, designers, builders, and anyone who wants a clearer, more honest understanding of the true cost of building well.

episode Holiday Home Talk- Georgian Charm and Projects artwork

Holiday Home Talk- Georgian Charm and Projects

In this holiday home talk, we’re reflecting on the year behind us and the sense of peace we’re choosing to end it with. We talk about starting the Built Classical podcast, working with some of our best clients to date, and what this season has taught us about slowing down and doing the work well. We also take a detour into one of the most iconic holiday homes of all time, the Home Alone house, and explain why it’s such a perfect example of Georgian architecture, where it’s located, and what makes its proportions so enduring and recognizable. We wrap things up by sharing a look ahead at a few upcoming projects and what we’re excited to build next. This episode is part year-end recap, part architectural deep dive, and part quiet holiday conversation about gratitude, growth, and what it means to build with intention.

episode Wallpaper 101 artwork

Wallpaper 101

This week on Built Classical, Konner takes the host seat to interview Amy on one of her favorite topics: wallpaper. Together, they trace wallpaper’s history from ancient China to English manor houses, unpack why it’s not a “trend” but a timeless design choice, and debate installation methods like paste vs. peel-and-stick. Amy shares her biggest wallpaper “icks” (spoiler: no accent walls), her favorite rooms for wallpaper, and why Schumacher is her go-to source. You’ll also hear personal stories of growing up with wallpapered ceilings, iconic movie houses like Home Alone, and how the right paper deepens the story of a home. If you’ve ever wondered how to choose the right pattern, style, or paint pairing — or if you just need encouragement to go for it — this is your episode.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
