welcome to your build journey
Join industry expert Sam Payne as he discusses the good, the bad, and the suprising moments of building and renovating.
Why does this podcast exist?
We created Australian Build Stories because building or renovating a home is a universal experience, but the journey is rarely picture-perfect.
Our podcast cuts through the social media gloss, offering honest stories and practical advice to help you navigate the exciting highs and the inevitable challenges of building a home.
About Sam
Sam Payne isn't your typical podcast host. He's worn many hats in the construction industry – starting from the ground up as a laborer, then tackling estimating costs and managing design teams. He even took a swing at solving industry problems firsthand with his own startup. These experiences, along with running his own design firm and coaching Perth's top architects and designers, gave Sam a unique 360-degree view of the building process.
But what truly drives Sam is empowering YOU. Forget the "one-size-fits-all" approach. Sam believes building your dream home is a collaborative journey. He draws from his experience to guide you, empower you, and equip you with the tools to navigate every step of the way.
