Better Homes Begin with Clarity and Confidence
Home Mastery is an architect-led preparation platform for Australians planning a renovation, extension or new home project. Through a clear 8-stage roadmap, practical lessons and decision-making tools, it helps homeowners understand the decisions ahead, what to check and clarify, and what to consider before signing contracts, committing significant costs or starting construction.

Built for Australian homeowners
What is
Home Mastery?
A building or renovation project is shaped by connected decisions about the project path, brief, budget, design, approvals, pricing, contract and construction. Home Mastery brings those decisions into one structured learning experience, helping you recognise blind spots, clarify assumptions and prepare better questions while you still have meaningful options.
Who it is for
Home Mastery is for homeowners planning or seriously considering a renovation, extension, new home, knockdown rebuild or significant residential project. It is most valuable before major design, approval, pricing and contractual commitments, and can also support homeowners who are already working with a project team and want a clearer view of what comes next.
Why it matters
Knowledge is the first layer of protection in any building or renovation project. Many difficulties begin before work starts, when a brief is unclear, the budget is treated as one number, pricing rests on different assumptions or responsibilities are not made clear. Home Mastery helps bring important questions forward before commitments narrow your options.
Learning Model
1. Foundations Program
Follow the major project decisions in a clear sequence through our home building planning course, designed for Australian homeowners. The structured roadmap explains the key decisions involved in residential projects and helps you understand what matters at each stage, what it may affect later and what should be clarified before moving on.
2. Knowledge Library
Go deeper when a question, term or situation arises. The library expands on the core learning with practical explanations organised around the homeowner project journey.
3. Toolkits
Put knowledge to work with practical checklists, project planners, renovation budget tools, templates and comparison tools that help you organise information, prepare for professional conversations and make clearer decisions.
Our learning model is built around three connected parts.
The Foundations Program provides sequence, helping you see how the brief, budget, design, approvals, pricing, contract and construction stages fit together.
The Knowledge Library provides depth, so you can explore a topic when it becomes relevant to your project.
The Toolkits provide application, helping you organise information, compare options and prepare for the next conversation or decision.
Together, they help you understand what matters, what remains unclear and what to do next.
Built from Experience. Driven by Purpose.
Home Mastery brings important project knowledge forward, while homeowners still have meaningful choices.
As a registered architect and educator, Ed Hung saw capable homeowners being asked to make major decisions without one clear view of how the whole project fitted together. He created Home Mastery to translate professional knowledge into a calm, structured and practical preparation system for homeowners.
