Constructing a Landed | Building your home up and digging down | Sofa So Good S2 Ep 1

We are back with a new season of Sofa So Good! For our first episode of season two, we have a familiar face, Jake, a chartered surveyor whom we have been working with for awhile now back in the office studio with Melvin as they talk everything under the sun, about the world of construction.
Given the news and uproar about construction delays in today's context, we are sure that what Jake and Melvin discussed in this episode will be beneficial for you, especially if you are a landed homeowner looking to renovate or even rebuild your home. What are some horror stories that Jake has to share about the field? What are some things homebuyers should take note of? Find out more in this first episode of our Sofa So Good season two!
