Frequently asked questions.
Who is Albatross Academy meant for?
Albatross Academy is meant for homeowners undertaking a new build or substantial renovation in the near/medium term. The coursework is meant to accompany clients on their journey through the process of design & construction.
I’ve seen other builder’s checklists online, what is different about Albatross Academy?
The old adage “give a man a fish, feed him for a day…” comes to mind here. The goal of the coursework is to teach students the process of design and construction, and through this coursework, teach them how to optimize time, money and space in their projects. By learning how buildings are designed and constructed, clients will be able to critically think through optimization strategies on their own. Albatross Academy is trying to teach clients to fish, not just feed them for a day.
How can you guarantee a minimum of 5x savings?
Whether you’re doing a new build or renovation, the costs you’ll spend can be significant, but most clients overpay, or miss opportunities to save money, with very minimal effort. By understanding how finances work in construction, clients can save tens of thousands, and end up with the same product. History is a great indicator of the future, I can guarantee 5x savings, because I’ve done it time and time again.
Is this for people wanting to Contract their own home?
This coursework is for homeowners, whether they’re self contracting or not. Everyone can get value from this coursework.
