Welcome to the pilot episode of Reno Roadblock, powered by SIXiDES with host ‪@RevvEvolutionX‬

This new homeowner-first series puts the spotlight on real renovation journeys, because homebuilding isn’t always smooth sailing. Sometimes, despite careful planning, unexpected roadblocks do appear.

In this first episode, Jeremiah, a first-time homeowner, opens up about how his renovation took a detour when costs spiralled and progress stalled. Astley Ng (The Designerd) joins to unpack what went wrong and what every homeowner should do differently before starting.

What you’ll learn:

• How renovation budgets can snowball beyond the original plan

• Why extended payment schedules can cause issues down the line

• What to look out for when communication starts breaking down

• How to align family expectations before shortlisting designers

• How SIXiDES helps homeowners set clearer cost expectations and avoid common pitfalls
